In a major boost to India’s electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure, Bolt.Earth has introduced Blaze DC, the country’s first universal DC fast charger for electric two- and three-wheelers. This innovation aims to close a critical gap in India's EV ecosystem by offering high-speed, widely compatible charging solutions.
The Blaze DC charger is designed and manufactured in India. It is compact, grid-compatible, and most importantly, interoperable, supporting both Type 6 and LECCS Type 7 connectors. These connectors enable compatibility with top EV brands like Ather, Ola, Ultraviolette, Hero MotoCorp, Matter Motors, and Simple Energy.
Unlike traditional charging stations that are often brand-specific and slow, Blaze DC provides a universal plug-and-play solution suited to Indian power conditions and vehicle types.
Blaze DC’s standout feature is its 12kW power output, which delivers up to 120 kilometers of range in just 15 minutes of charging. This makes it one of the fastest and most efficient public charging options currently available for two- and three-wheelers.
Additional features include:
Modular design for easy servicing
Remote diagnostics to monitor performance
Real-time error detection to reduce downtime
These innovations ensure reliable performance and minimal maintenance, addressing common pain points in EV charging.
India’s two-wheeler EV segment accounts for more than 80% of the country’s EV fleet. However, the public fast-charging infrastructure remains limited, costly, and often brand-exclusive.
Blaze DC addresses this bottleneck with a cost-effective, universal, and rapid-charging solution. Bolt.Earth aims to support 90% of fast-charging-capable EVs in India within the next year, making the charger highly impactful for everyday commuters, delivery riders, and small business owners.
India’s EV market is witnessing rapid growth, especially in the two-wheeler segment, which is expected to cross 5 million units in annual sales by 2027. By launching Blaze DC, Bolt.Earth supports this surge with reliable public charging options that cater to:
Individual users needing quick top-ups
Gig economy workers who rely on fast, affordable charging
Fleet operators seeking efficient turnaround times
Blaze DC also opens up new earning opportunities through Bolt.Earth’s Charger Management System (CMS). Local business owners and entrepreneurs can install Blaze DC units and generate revenue by offering public charging services.
