ChargeZone Unveils Renewable-Powered E-DHARA Project

New Delhi [India], November 21: ChargeZone®, India’s largest electric vehicle charging company with more than 13,500 charging points, has announced Project E-DHARA—a landmark initiative to transition its national EV charging network to 100 per cent renewable energy. Set to begin rollout in 2025, the project will commence with the commissioning of the first renewable-powered charging hub in Dahej, Gujarat, marking a new chapter in India’s sustainable mobility transformation.

A National Push for a Green EV Ecosystem

As India accelerates EV adoption, one of the most pressing challenges remains the reliance on fossil-fuel-based electricity. With nearly 75 per cent of India’s power still generated from coal and conventional sources, the environmental gains of electric mobility face natural limitations. Project E-DHARA has been designed to directly address this gap by ensuring that the energy powering EVs is as clean as the vehicles themselves.

The initiative integrates three core technologies—solar power generation, battery energy storage systems (BESS) and next-generation high-speed charging hubs—forming a unified green-energy ecosystem capable of operating independently of the conventional grid.

Dahej to Host India’s First 100% Renewable Charging Hub

The first site under Project E-DHARA is being developed in Dahej, where ChargeZone will deploy:

• 1 MW solar power plant

• 5 MWh battery energy storage system

This hub will operate primarily off-grid, tapping into the conventional grid only when required to ensure energy stability. Serving as a national prototype, the Dahej facility will anchor a broader vision to establish 100 renewable-powered charging hubs along major national highways by next year.

A Pivotal Step Towards India’s Clean Energy Transition

Kartikey Hariyani, Founder and CEO of ChargeZone, described E-DHARA as a defining moment for India’s clean energy landscape. He stated:

“Project E-DHARA represents a pivotal moment in India’s clean energy journey. Electric vehicles have already transformed mobility, but true decarbonisation can only be achieved when the energy that powers them is entirely renewable. Through this initiative, ChargeZone is creating an integrated ecosystem that brings together solar generation, advanced battery storage and high-speed charging to enable a 100 per cent clean-energy highway network. This is more than a technological shift; it is a national energy transition aligned with India’s long-term net-zero vision.”

A Renewable Highway Network for Every EV Segment

The project brings together solar power, BESS, and high-speed charging infrastructure to support both passenger EVs and BillionE Mobility electric freight trucks, making it one of the most comprehensive renewable-powered EV ecosystems planned in India.

With the commissioning of 100 renewable-powered hubs, many designed to operate entirely off-grid, ChargeZone aims to redefine the country’s highway infrastructure and accelerate the transition to a fully decarbonised EV ecosystem.

A Blueprint for India’s Net-Zero Mobility Goals

Project E-DHARA showcases India’s growing commitment to sustainable transportation and underscores ChargeZone’s leadership in developing future-ready, resilient charging infrastructure. By integrating renewable energy at the source, the company is setting new industry standards and paving the way for a cleaner, smarter, and more energy-secure EV future.
