Kirana Charzer: Now, roadside shops can morph into EV charging stations

Range anxiety, that fear of running out of battery, is every electric vehicle user’s worst nightmare. So, why not address this by letting every roadside shop morph into a charging station?

This is exactly what Bengaluru-based startup Charzer had in mind when it introduced the ‘Kirana Charzer’.

How does this work? “Kirana Charzer is a compact, zero-maintenance and Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled charging station that can be installed by small shops and individuals enabling them to earn an additional income,” explains the startup founders.

The station is compatible with all two-, three- and four-wheeled electric vehicles. “It works with a basic single-phase electricity connection and can be installed without upgrading the existing grid connection.”
