EV Charging Stations from Bengaluru to Chennai

481 charging locations are mapped within 15 km of the 349 km drive from Bengaluru, Karnataka to Chennai, Tamil Nadu. Each charger is listed with its connectors, its rated output where we hold one, and how far along the route it sits.

How many charging stops you need, Bengaluru to Chennai

Stops are the number of times a car must add range to cover 349 km, assuming 70% of rated range is usable between stops (the buffer that highway speeds, load and arrival reserve actually take). Formula: stops = ceil(349 / usable range) − 1.

Frequently asked questions

How many EV charging stations are there between Bengaluru and Chennai?
Zevvy has 481 charging locations mapped within 15 km of the 349 km route. 392 locations have DC fast charging; the rest are AC or not recorded.
Can I drive from Bengaluru to Chennai in an EV?
Yes, on the chargers we have mapped. The longest stretch without a DC fast charger inside the 15 km corridor is 37 km, so a car that can cover that between stops can make the trip. Across the 250-500 km range bands below, that works out at 0 to 1 charging stops.
What charging connectors are available on the Bengaluru to Chennai route?
CCS2 at 353 locations, Type 2 AC at 130 locations, CHAdeMO at 63 locations, IEC 60309 industrial (3-pin) at 13 locations, GB/T DC at 6 locations, CCS1 at 1 location and Type M (Indian 3-pin) at 1 location. Each location is counted once per connector type it offers.
Where is the longest gap without a fast charger on the Bengaluru to Chennai drive?
It is the 37 km stretch after Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited Charging Station, before BPCL Charging Station. Charge to cover at least that distance before entering it.
Which charging networks operate on the Bengaluru to Chennai route?
Statiq (23 locations), Tata Power (21 locations), Shell Recharge (20 locations), JIO BP Pulse (19 locations), Zeon Charging (17 locations) and Chargezone (14 locations), plus 4 smaller operators. The remaining 360 locations have no operator recorded in our dataset.
How many times will I need to charge driving Bengaluru to Chennai?
It depends on the car. On the 70 per cent usable-range assumption used in the tables above, the Citroën ë-C3 (320 km rated) needs 1 stop, while the BMW iX3 (460 km rated) needs 1 stop.
How long does the Bengaluru to Chennai drive take?
The routing engine puts the 349 km drive at 7 hr 55 min of driving time, before any charging. Add the time for the charging stops your car needs from the table above.
