    Bolt.Earth integrates charging network with MapmyIndia app.

    Bolt.Earth, India’s largest EV charging network, has entered into a strategic partnership with MapMyIndia (MMI) to increase the reach and discoverability of electric vehicle charging infrastructure across the country.

    As part of the collaboration, users of the MapMyIndia app can now explore Bolt.Earth’s extensive network of four-wheel charging stations, including both standard Level 2 chargers and DC fast chargers. This integration enables EV drivers to find and navigate to charging points directly through MapMyIndia’s mapping and navigation platform.

    This partnership is expected to significantly improve charger visibility for Bolt.Earth’s network partners, while providing EV owners with a wider range of charging options beyond the Bolt.Earth ecosystem. By leveraging MapmyIndia’s widely used navigation services, the collaboration aims to simplify route planning, reduce range anxiety, and support the growing adoption of electric mobility in India.

    Through the Open Charge Point Interface (OCPI) protocol, Bolt.Earth has integrated around 350 Level 2 and Level 3 chargers into the MapmyIndia app. The two companies said they are working together to help MapMyIndia platform users locate and access EV charging points through OCPI integration and API sharing.

    The companies said the expanded discovery capability is aimed at supporting India’s EV ecosystem and providing drivers with a more seamless charging experience.

    Bolt.Earth is India’s largest electric vehicle (EV) charging network with over 100,000 chargers deployed across more than 2,000 cities. Founded in 2017, the company has evolved from building connected IoT solutions to a vertically integrated EV ecosystem spanning hardware, software, manufacturing, deployment and services. Its open network supports two-, three- and four-wheelers with both standard and fast-charging options, powered by the Bolt.Earth mobile app, enabling a scan-pay-charge experience and allowing charger owners to generate passive income. The company is supported by its proprietary Charger Management System (CMS) and works with various OEMs and ecosystem partners.
