INN/Chennai, @Infodeaofficial
A Smart EV Charger Start-up based at IIT Madras The Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI), a research institute of the automotive industry with the Ministry of Heavy Industries, Government of India, has certified Plugzmart, an EV charger manufacturing company, for its EV charger. This is a significant step forward for India’s domestic EV infrastructure.
This accreditation for Plugzmart’s unique controller card and 60kW DC fast charger indicates that they have complied with India’s strict operational safety and efficiency regulations. This accomplishment demonstrates Plugzmart’s dedication to excellence and innovation in the EV charging infrastructure.
The electric vehicle ecosystem, which is expanding quickly in India, includes the EV charging industry. An infrastructure for effective and convenient electric vehicle charging is becoming more and more necessary as the nation moves towards greener energy and transportation options. Government subsidies and private investment fuel the industry’s growth and innovation at a never-before-seen rate.
Mr Vivek Samynathan, the founder and CEO of Plugzmart, emphasised the importance of this accomplishment by saying, “Getting the ARAI certification for our 60kW DC fast charger, especially with our own controller card, is a significant achievement for us.” This accomplishment strengthens our leadership position in the EV charging sector and proves our dedication to quality and safety. This fiscal year, we also want to introduce a number of innovative new items that will expand our market reach.
“We are dedicated to building a comprehensive ecosystem of hardware and software solutions in the energy domain,” Mr Vivek Samynathan continued, “as part of our broader vision.” Our objective is to offer comprehensive solutions that not only meet the demands of the electric car industry today, but also open the door for further advancements in sustainable energy. Our goal is to establish a smooth, effective, and expandable energy infrastructure that facilitates the world’s shift to more environmentally friendly and sustainable modes of transportation by combining smart technologies, cutting-edge control systems, and Internet of Things-enabled platforms.
Furthering his explanation, Plugzmart’s co-founder, Mr. Ragavendra Ravichandran, stated, “Plugzmart is a one-stop shop for all EV charging-related products and software services.” We take great satisfaction in our exceptional hardware and software proficiency, which no other Indian company can match.
India’s EV charging technology market is expanding quickly because to rising public awareness of environmental issues and government backing. However, China is becoming a bigger source of charging technology imports, coinciding with the growing popularity of EVs.
It is essential to identify and incorporate homegrown innovations into the ecosystem in order to reduce these imports and promote domestic manufacturing. Companies in the EV industry must give priority to domestic manufacturers as part of the government’s phased manufacturing program, ensuring that homegrown technologies like Plugzmart’s are at the forefront of this shift.
