Building India's First Verified EV Corridor

evLane

It starts with one verified corridor.

Our first evLane corridor: we are selecting and signing the first two evLane-managed highway stops now — so a family can take the trip on purpose, not on hope.

First two evLane-managed highway stops being selected and signed now.

The problem in one breath

India doesn't need another charger map. It needs routes drivers can trust.

01

The map shows plenty of chargers.

02

The road delivers dead chargers, broken payments, no one to call.

03

Drivers don't want ten maybes — they want one route that works.

~18%of public chargers non-functional at any time

38%of EV owners cite charger unreliability as a major barrier

The blocker is trust, not power.

What we do

We count routes, not chargers.

The product isn't a charger on a map — it's the completed trip. We build the main stops, add selected partner chargers as backups, monitor the route, and give drivers one place to call when something fails.

For Partners

There's more than one way to put a verified stop on the corridor.

Bring land, bring capital, or bring a charger you already run. We help build, integrate, and operate the hub — and every EV that stops earns you a share of the charge.

How one hub gets built

You only need to bring one of these.

Land, capital, or both — whichever is yours, there's a place on the corridor for it. evLane brings everything else.

The land

You have a highway stop

A dhaba, café, resort, motel, fuel stop, open plot, or highway property on the route.

The capital

You want to invest

Each hub costs ~₹20–30L to build. You fund it, and earn from every charge.

evLane

We set it up

Charger, installation, payments, monitoring, support and repairs.

The result

One verified charging hub.

Don't have the land? We find the site. Don't have the capital? We bring it. Everyone earns from every charge.

Where a hub belongs

A line, not a cloud.

Most networks scatter chargers across a city and hope. We place verified stops in sequence along one route instead, so the whole drive is covered end to end. And a stop can be almost anything on the way — a dhaba, a petrol pump, a resort, even your own plot of land. What matters is that it sits on the line.

How it works

Four steps. We help build, integrate, and operate it — end to end.

1

We inspect your site

Power, parking, safety and access — we check everything that makes a hub work.

2

We structure the build

Charger, transformer, canopy, engineering, installation, and commissioning — handled by evLane or approved vendors under agreed site terms.

3

We run it

We keep it running, day and night — payments, uptime, driver support, all looked after from our end.

4

You earn from it

Whether evLane funds the build or you own it outright, every EV that stops earns you a share of the charge — plus footfall for your stop.

The split

You bring the spot. We bring everything else.

What you bring

A highway-facing plot
Parking for a few cars
The footfall you already have

What evLane may cover on select founding sites

Charger, transformer & canopy
Engineering & installation
Approval support, DISCOM coordination, and documentation
Live uptime monitoring during early operating windows, expanding to 24/7 as the corridor goes live
On-call driver support
Placement in the evLane app
Payments & billing
Optional co-branding

Two ways to partner

Become a location partner — or own the hub yourself.

Same hub, same network — we build it and run it either way.

We back you Location partner · co-funded

evLane funds the build and runs the hub. You bring the land and a small stake.

Whether evLane co-funds a hub depends on the site, on terms we agree together. SBI EV Mitra finance and PM E-DRIVE subsidies are government-backed and approval-based, never automatic — we help you apply; we don't promise the outcome.

Hard questions · partner edition

The questions you'd ask before signing.

No fine-print games — here's the honest version.

What does it actually cost me?

On a co-funded site, as little as ~15% — evLane may cover up to ~85% of the build on select founding corridor sites, on terms we agree in writing. Prefer to own it outright? You fund the build, and an SBI EV Mitra loan can help.

How do I earn?

A share of every charge, plus the extra footfall a 30–45 minute stop brings your dhaba, café or property. Fund more of the build and you keep a larger share; let evLane co-fund it and your share is smaller — we agree the split together.

Who fixes it when a charger breaks?

We do. Uptime monitoring, payments, driver support and repairs run from our end — during early operating windows first, expanding to 24/7 as the corridor goes live. You run your business; we run the hub.

Is the subsidy real, or a sales pitch?

Government-backed and approval-based, never automatic. PM E-DRIVE and SBI EV Mitra are real schemes; we help you apply, we don't promise the outcome, and we never price them into your base case.

What if EV traffic on my highway stays low?

A real risk, and we won't hide it. We start where intercity EV demand is already showing up, keep the build lean, and you keep your land and your existing footfall either way.

For Investors

India's highway charging isn't a power-supply deficit. It's a trust problem.

We're raising a focused first-corridor round to open our first lane: two evLane-managed highway stops. Every charge designed to be billed and tracked through the evLane app, with partner settlement and live status tested on the first corridor, a backup always in reach — and no customer left without a charge.

The thesis

Reliability over count.

Everyone races to add the most chargers. Drivers don't experience a count — they experience a trip. Controlling the stops beats aggregating them.

~18%of public chargers non-functional at any timeGovt data to Parliament

38%of EV owners cite charger unreliability as a major barrierYES Bank–FICCI

The accountability edge: an aggregator can't be accountable for a charger it doesn't operate. We can — because we own the anchors and are accountable for every stop on the route.

Competition — the honest version

No moat. Our bet is focus.

The well-funded leaders already run owned-plus-partner networks with live status — doing real work that gives drivers the confidence to go electric.

India built 1 lakh+ petrol pumps to give drivers fuel confidence. Public EV charging stands at ~30,000 chargers today — against an estimated ~1.3 million needed by 2030. A 43× build-out no single company will deliver. It needs many focused operators; evLane starts with one verified corridor and goes deep.

Market — why now

The demand is already on the highway.

The first corridor

One corridor, run right end to end.

Everyone's adding chargers. Nobody's run a whole corridor yet — where evLane-managed stops, verified backups, live support, and clear accountability when something fails. That's the first evLane corridor. One route. Done right.

Stops that are ours to deliver

Two stops on the first corridor. Every charge that works, every call that’s answered — that’s on evLane.

One call. evLane answers.

When anything on the corridor fails, there’s one entity to call. Not the charger brand. Not the site. evLane.

0

Fewer drivers stranded

If a stop fails, we help the driver reach one that’s working.

How the model makes money

The charge is the entry. Assurance and B2B are the margin.

ChargingDay one

Per kWh from every driver, billed through our app — the same floor every operator earns.

Route trust premiumAs trust builds

A small, invisible per-kWh premium on a route drivers trust — paid willingly, no resented markup.

Fleet & B2BAs the corridor matures

Taxi, logistics & tourism operators pay for predictable corridor access, priority support, and reliability contracts.

Hard questions · investor edition

Ask us the parts that don't show well.

The doubts a careful investor raises — answered straight, not spun.

The leaders are better funded — why won't they crush you?

They may compete; they can't out-focus us on one corridor. We've said it plainly: no moat, our bet is focus. We earn the first corridor on operating discipline, or not at all.

How far does this round actually get you?

To one corridor running and genuinely reliable — two evLane-managed stops billing, live status, support and a backup in reach — not to building the whole company. It's sized to prove the model, then step up.

What's the single biggest risk?

That “verified” doesn't change how drivers behave on a real route. If a trusted lane doesn't earn repeat use and a small premium, the thesis weakens — and we'd rather learn that on one corridor than ten.

Why this corridor, not a busier route?

Long enough to need a mid-trip charge, real intercity EV demand, and two anchor sites we can actually control. We picked a corridor we can certify end to end — not the flashiest line on the map.

The questions our friends & family actually asked

The hard questions are fair.

Most of these came from the people closest to us — over dinner, on the phone, late at night. We're putting them here in the same words they were asked, because if the people who love us raised them, you're probably thinking them too. So here's the real story — what we actually think today. Some of it's proven, some we're still testing, and some we could be wrong about. We'll say which is which, in plain words.

What stops a big, well-funded player from just doing this?

Nothing — and honestly, we want the company. They're already doing it, and doing it well. India built driving confidence on 1 lakh+ fuel outlets; there's room for many charging operators the same way there's room for Ola, Uber and Rapido. The market is too big for one winner, and more good players is how EVs earn trust. We won't claim a patent or a moat — our bet is focus: being accountable for every stop on one corridor instead of aggregating chargers we do not control. If the whole country goes electric faster because more of us are running good stops, we've already won the thing we actually care about.

Why you — what's unique? Why can't Tata Power or Statiq just do this?

There's no magic trick here, and we won't pretend there is. This is demand versus supply, not a movie about one hero. For a driver it's like Zomato and Swiggy — they just want a stop that works. What we bring is focus: we own the anchor stops and we drive these roads ourselves, so on this corridor the accountability is ours. If we can't out-execute on reliability, a bigger brand earns the route instead — and honestly, execution is the part we love most. Showing up, every time, on a road we know by heart: that's the company we actually want to build.

What does quality control actually look like — is monitoring enough?

In one word: availability. Where we control the hardware, we know when the last charge happened and the live status of every stop — so before a driver depends on it, we know its condition. Statiq and ChargeZone have shown that bar is reachable; it just has to actually work, every time. Is monitoring enough on its own? Probably not — our current thinking is that trust also needs verified backups, one number to call, and a stronger assurance behind the whole trip: past “is it online?” toward “will it complete your trip?” The honest gap is recovery — monitoring tells us a charger is down, it doesn't fix it. How fast we repair, dispatch or re-route before a driver is left waiting is the real test — and it's the part we obsess over, because that one moment is what a driver remembers about the whole trip.

As a nervous first-time EV driver, why should I trust you to get me there?

The fear is real — most of all on a long highway trip, and we hear it loudest from drivers weighing their first EV. So we're building the corridor around the worst moment: verified backup options within reach, live status before you leave, and one number that answers on the road. Over time, we want to build towards a stronger trip assurance — standing behind the completed trip, the way you build trust by telling someone “go, we know you'll make it back.” We could be wrong about how far that has to go. What we're sure of: trust is earned trip by trip. One stranded driver undoes ten smooth ones — so we earn it the slow, honest way, one trip that just worked, then the next. Get there, and you stop thinking about charging at all. That's the freedom we're really selling.

Isn't this just a charging network with nicer words?

A network counts chargers. We're trying to count completed trips — owned anchor stops, verified backups, one number to call, real accountability when something fails. What we're testing is whether drivers value a verified route enough to pay for reliability — something a plain network can't really charge for. We could be wrong — but everything we feel from drivers says the same thing: people remember the trip that just worked. That's the company we're building, and we think you'll want to be part of it.

Thought of one we haven't?

Why evLane exists

You should be able to just go.

Anywhere. The way you could with a tank of petrol.

Remember the petrol car? You never planned the trip around the fuel. You just drove — to the hills, the coast, home — and worked out the rest on the way.

Going electric, you gave that up. Not the car — the freedom. The open road. The not-thinking-about-it. Every long drive turned into range math and a quiet hope the charger would actually work.

evLane exists to give it back — one verified corridor at a time, until any EV in India can just point the car at the horizon and go. No dead chargers. No stranded trips. No fear.

This was never about one founder, or one company. It's a cause — making electric travel in India feel free again. If that's a future you want too, you're already part of it.

What evLane adds to your charger

Your hardware. Our backing.

We're opening the first corridor now — so this is the deal for founding stops, not a finished network. Here's what comes as it goes live.

More than a lone charger

Your stations stop standing alone. They become stops on one route drivers trust — and that makes your whole network look stronger.

A mark drivers trust

We come out, check the station and photograph it, then give it the evLane stamp. Drivers trust it because we earned it on the ground — not online.

We bring the drivers

We put real money behind getting drivers to your stops — promoting the route and the stations on it — and we'll show you the interest it brings, in plain numbers.

It stays your charger

Keep your hardware, your name and your way of running things. We add the route, the trust and the traffic — you stay the one in charge.

What makes a good stop

What we'll look at — together.

None of this is a test you pass alone. If your charger ticks most of these, you're a great fit — and if it's close, talk to us anyway. We'll work the rest out in person.
