ZEVpoint, established in 2019 by Gurvardaan Singh and Akash Jain, is a Chandigarh-based EV charger startup. The company offers a variety of EV chargers and installs charging stations at various locations.
It all started with a trip to Canada in 2019. Akash Jain, co-founder of Zevpoint, got behind the wheel of a Tesla, offering a glimpse into a future powered by electricity. Back in Chandigarh, India, a different reality awaited.
Gurvardaan Singh and Akash Jain, Founder and co-founder respectively, settled with the thought that electric vehicles, while not a silver bullet, offered a promising first step. But a crucial piece of the puzzle was missing - the infrastructure to support them. Even developed nations grappled with a lack of charging stations. It was in this gap that Zevpoint found its calling.
Initially, the idea of building their electric vehicles was explored. However, the immense capital required to succeed in the EV industry proved to be a hurdle. The EV charging space, on the other hand, presented a more feasible path. Here was an opportunity to contribute not just to cleaner air, but to a more sustainable future.
The first few years were marked by the global pandemic, a temporary setback that provided valuable time for observation. As normalcy returned, the EV Charger startup Zevpoint shifted into high gear, leveraging readily available technology to set up charging stations and test the market.
Product and Pricing:
Zevpoint offers a comprehensive range of EV chargers to cater to diverse needs.
While talking to Startup Pedia, Zevpoint co-founder Gurvardaan explains, "Zevpoint is consumer-centric and our chargers prioritise user-friendliness while addressing concerns raised by customers."

"At Zevpoint, affordability is key. Our chargers start at just 18,999 for a 3 kW portable model," Gurvardaan shared with Startup Pedia.
"This is a significant difference from car manufacturers, who typically price basic 7 kW chargers between ₹50,000 and above.", he added.
Chandigarh-based startup caters to everyone in the EV world.
Individuals can grab portable chargers for on-the-go power, while hotels, offices, and even auto repair shops can install charging stations with flexible purchase, rental, and revenue-sharing options.
In fact, their growth is driven by their charging stations installed at Companies, Hotels, and Public Places like malls, shopping complexes, etc.
In late 2022, they expanded to offer residential charging solutions available for purchase on Amazon and their website. Despite challenges with non-standardized two-wheeler charging ports, Zevpoint remains determined to find a solution.
Zevpoint now aims to reach 20,000-30,000 customers and install 10,000 EV charging stations within the next 3 years.
