UK-based L-Charge has agreed on a long-term collaboration with Ziptron Gas to enhance the EV charging infrastructure network in India. The two companies have already agreed their first shipment of boosters under the new deal.

The collaboration between the UK-based EV charge point manufacturer and operator L-Charge and the India based Ziptron Gas is a strategic cooperation providing high-end infrastructure solutions for the EV market in India. Under the contract, L-Charge will deliver boosting equipment capable of amplifying the output power of typical 4kW-15kW charge points, currently operated in India, to deliver up to 120kW.

"At present, the charging infrastructure network in India is dominated by ‘slow’ charging solutions,” said L-Charge VP Justin Tarr. “According to the Department of Heavy Industry, there are only around 22 fast charging points out of every 300 positioned in India’s most developed urban areas. Ziptron Gas will start with installing a few boosters that convert the output power of the existing 4kW-15kW chargers into rapid charging solutions. Introducing these boosters will help accelerate the deployment of an ultra-fast, grid-independent charging network in urban and rural areas across India.”
