Bolt.Earth Unveils Blaze DC- India’s First Universal DC Fast Charger for Two- and Three-Wheelers
– Aims to deploy 25k chargers in 1 year across India –
June 4, 2025 – In a major leap forward for India’s EV charging landscape, Bolt.Earth, India’s largest EV charging network, today launched Blaze DC, India’s first universal DC fast charger for electric two- and three-wheelers.
In a strong show of support, the event was graced by the presence of chief guest, Dr. Shiv Shankara N, Managing Director of Bangalore Electricity Supply Company Limited (BESCOM), the nodal agency for EV infrastructure in Karnataka. Speaking at the launch, Dr. Shiv Shankara N said, “As a government entity, BESCOM has established over 200 EV charging stations, contributing to Karnataka’s leadership in EV infrastructure with 5,200+ chargers statewide. While many of our chargers are currently slow, we are keen to upgrade to fast chargers and are looking to collaborate with private players like Bolt.Earth, who already operate over 4,000 stations. We’re also identifying government land to reserve for future EV infrastructure and inviting private participation. With growing demand and policy support, this is a vital era for EV expansion. We appreciate Bolt.Earth’s efforts and look forward to partnering with you to drive this mission.”
The Bigger Picture: EV Infrastructure in India: The EV market in India has witnessed remarkable momentum in recent years, especially in the two-wheeler segment, where over 5 million electric scooters are expected to be sold annually by 2027. However, public charging infrastructure remains limited and quite costly.
The Blaze DC series of chargers is engineered to address one of the biggest gaps in India’s EV ecosystem— the lack of high-speed, interoperable charging solutions for two- and three-wheelers, which collectively make up over 80% of the country’s EV fleet.
Designed, developed, and manufactured entirely in India, the Blaze DC charger is universal, compact, and grid-friendly. It supports Type 6 and LECCS Type 7 connectors, ensuring compatibility with top EV brands such as Ather, Ola, Ultraviolette, Hero MotoCorp, Matter Motors, and Simple Energy.
What Makes Blaze DC a Game-Changer?
In a market constrained by slow, brand-specific charging setups available only in select locations, Blaze DC offers a powerful, plug-and-play solution tuned for Indian grid conditions.
With lightning-fast speeds—up to 120 km in 15 minutes on the 12kW variant— it meets the urgent need for efficient, widespread charging infrastructure, empowering EV users with accessibility, reliability, and convenience on the go.
Beyond speed, Blaze DC is designed for easy serviceability and maintenance. Its modular build allows quick repairs, while remote diagnostics and real-time error detection ensure fast issue resolution and minimal downtime.
Who Can Use Blaze DC?
Anyone who currently drives or plans to buy a fast-charging-capable two- or three-wheeler EV in India can use Blaze DC.
Bolt.Earth aims to support 90% of fast-charging-enabled two- and three-wheelers within a year, making EV adoption smoother for businesses and daily commuters alike.
Speaking at the launch, Raghav Bharadwaj, CEO of Bolt.Earth, said, “At Bolt.Earth, we’ve always believed that true EV adoption in India cannot happen without solving for the everyday commuter—be it auto-rickshaw drivers, food delivery executives, or small business owners who rely on two- and three-wheelers. Blaze DC is a solution built for them, by Indian engineers, with Indian infrastructure in mind. This is not just a product launch; it’s the beginning of a more inclusive, accessible, and faster EV ecosystem.”
The event also featured a live demo of Blaze DC in action, showcasing its ease of use and seamless integration with the Bolt.Earth Charging App, which already supports over 37,000 charging points across 1,700+ cities and serves more than 224,000 active EV users.
With the launch of Blaze DC, small business owners, gig economy workers, and daily commuters can benefit from quick and affordable charging at public stations. It also opens up new revenue streams for micro-entrepreneurs looking to host chargers via Bolt.Earth’s CMS and installation services.
Mr. Bharadwaj adds, “This launch reaffirms Bolt.Earth’s position as a vertically integrated EV ecosystem provider, offering everything from charging hardware and smart software platforms to maintenance, installation support, and real-time charger discovery APIs. We will soon deploy Blaze DC across major locations, including Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Kerala and Pune.”
As India’s leading EV charging solutions provider, Bolt.Earth offers end-to-end infrastructure for homes, businesses, fleets, and top brands like Tata, Bajaj, Mahindra, American Express, SAP, Brigade Group, Sobha Realty—from hardware and installation to software and support.
