Exicom, a manufacturer of EV charging and critical power solutions in India, has announced a partnership with IONAGE, an EV charging software platform provider. The collaboration aims to establish a neutral and accessible EV charging ecosystem, simplifying charger discoverability, accessibility, and management across India.
India’s target of achieving 30 per cent EV penetration by 2030 requires a significant expansion of the country’s EV charging infrastructure. As this infrastructure scales, the need arises to simplify charger operations and ensure ease of access for users. The partnership seeks to create a unified platform that allows EV users to charge across networks without navigating multiple applications. It also aims to enable charge point operators (CPOs) to manage vast networks efficiently.
Integration of charging solutions
Exicom has an installed base of 1.75 lakh chargers across India. Under the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), Exicom’s EV charging solutions will integrate with IONAGE’s CMS platform, facilitating seamless CMS integration for various charging networks in the country. The collaboration is expected to strengthen the EV charging ecosystem and improve charger management.
Support for charge point operators and fleets
CPOs, fleet operators, OEMs, and real estate developers will have access to an optimised charging infrastructure equipped with real-time insights, remote diagnostics, and predictive maintenance. This integration is expected to increase charger uptime, reduce operational costs, and facilitate scalable deployment, which is critical for building customer confidence and expanding the EV charging infrastructure.
The combination of Exicom’s hardware and IONAGE’s software will provide a plug-and-play solution that simplifies EV charging for businesses, fleets, dealerships, and individual users. This bundled solution aims to minimise setup complexities and enhance user convenience, offering a cost-effective system that meets diverse user needs.
Anshuman Divyanshu, CEO of the EVSE business at Exicom, said the partnership with IONAGE will address challenges in accessing charging stations and create a unified platform to improve the EV charging experience in India.
Vimal Kumar V, CEO of IONAGE, stated that the collaboration will create an integrated system benefiting operators, fleets, and users, contributing to the growth of sustainable mobility in India.
