Everything for the drive

Built for EV drivers in India

From a quick top-up in the city to a long highway run, ChargeNear keeps the details that matter in one place.

Chargers near you

Stations around your location on a live map, sorted by distance, with filters for fast DC, CCS2, Type 2, two-wheelers and 24/7.

Honest station details

Connectors, power, hours, ratings and directions. Your vehicle's compatibility and a 20→80% time estimate for every connector.

Trip planner

Real driving routes with charging stops chosen for your car's range — fastest, fewest stops or most comfortable.

ChargeNear AI

Ask in plain words: “Can I reach Mysuru?” or “Which nearby charger is cheapest?” Answers come from real data.

Trip reminders

Set a departure time on a saved trip and get a heads-up with the distance, stops and the battery your plan starts with.

Your garage

Pick from popular Indian EVs — Nexon, Punch, Curvv.ev, ZS EV, XUV400, BE 6, Ather, Ola, iQube — or add your own specs.

Road trips, planned

Chennai to Bengaluru, on one charge stop

ChargeNear follows the real road, looks for chargers along it, and plans where to stop and for how long — keeping the reserve you want on arrival.

Chennai 0 km Bengaluru
Battery 80% → 25% Charge to 73% · 26 min Arrive 19% (reserve 15%)
Stop at ChargeZone x TATA.ev MegaCharger (km 174) · 7 h 15 min total. Price isn't listed by the operator, so the plan says “Not listed”.

ChargeNear AI

Ask like you'd ask a friend

The copilot uses your vehicle, battery and location, and looks up real stations and routes before it answers. If something isn't listed, it tells you instead of guessing.

Find a fast charger within 5 km

I couldn't find a fast charger within 5 km. The closest is 7.8 km away: Saravana Stores – Padi (Relux Electric), with a 60 kW CCS2 connector. The price isn't listed, and Open Charge Map doesn't show live availability, so you may want to call ahead.

Trip reminders

A nudge before you leave

Save a trip, set when you're leaving and how early you'd like a heads-up. On your phone the reminder arrives even when the app is closed, and tapping it opens the trip.

  • 15 min to 2 h heads-up
  • Uses your saved plan: distance, stops and starting battery
  • Syncs with your trips when you sign in
Notification: Leave in 15 min for Vellore — 138 km, about 3 h 5 min with no charging stops

Real data only

What we show — and what we don't

Charging data in India is patchy. ChargeNear is upfront about it.

We show

  • Real stations from Google Maps and Open Charge Map, with the source on every listing
  • Real road routes for trips, with drive time and distance
  • Prices, hours, ratings and live status only where the operator or map lists them
  • Estimates labelled as estimates — charge times and arrival battery

We don't

  • Invent prices — unlisted shows as “Not listed”, never ₹0
  • Pretend a charger is free when there's no live status
  • Fake bookings or payments
  • Keep a history of where you've been — your location is only used to find stations and routes around you

Coming later

  • Reserve a connector
  • Start and pay for a charging session
  • Charging history and spending
  • Alerts for new chargers along your saved routes

On the web too

Questions

Where does the station data come from?

From Google Maps and Open Charge Map, two public sources, merged and de-duplicated. Every listing says where it came from, and you can open the source to check or correct it.

Why do some stations say “Price not listed”?

Many operators don't publish prices to these maps. Rather than guess, ChargeNear says so — and trip costs show “Not listed” instead of a misleading ₹0.

Can I see if a charger is free right now?

Only where Google reports live status for that station. Open Charge Map listings have no live status, so they show as “Status unknown”. Calling ahead is still a good idea.

Can I book or pay for charging in the app?

Not yet. Reserving connectors and paying for sessions need operator integrations, which are planned for a later phase. Until then those buttons are switched off.

Does ChargeNear track my location?

No. Your location is used only to find stations and routes around you: it's sent with that search to the map providers, and the last place you used is remembered on your device. ChargeNear doesn't keep a location history.

Which vehicles are supported?

Popular cars and two-wheelers sold in India are built in, and you can add any vehicle by entering its battery, range, connectors and charging power.
