With the aim of strengthening EV charging infrastructure in India, Charge Zone and Surat Municipal Corporation have partnered to install 25 charging stations across Surat by October 2022. The firm has released a list of 25 locations for these charging stations, including parking bays, supermarkets, and other open spaces close to prominent landmarks in Surat.

As a part of this plan, Charge Zone will be setting up dual gun 60kW DC CCS2 (can simultaneously charge two cars) and 22kW AC Type-2 fast chargers. These chargers are compatible with all on-sale electric cars in India.

Meanwhile, Charge Zone has already partnered with hospitality giant Marriott International to install 100 fast-charging stations across the hotel’s properties in the country. Under this, it has already set up the first DC fast charger at The Westin in Powai, Mumbai, while other chargers will be installed in a phased manner by the end of this year.
