How many EV charging stations are there between Bengaluru and Kochi?

Zevvy has 798 charging locations mapped within 15 km of the 532 km route. 682 locations have DC fast charging; the rest are AC or not recorded.

Can I drive from Bengaluru to Kochi in an EV?

Yes, on the chargers we have mapped. The longest stretch without a DC fast charger inside the 15 km corridor is 31 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 1 to 3 charging stops.

What charging connectors are available on the Bengaluru to Kochi route?

CCS2 at 636 locations, Type 2 AC at 180 locations, CHAdeMO at 80 locations, IEC 60309 industrial (3-pin) at 14 locations, GB/T DC at 11 locations, Type M (Indian 3-pin) at 2 locations and CCS1 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 Kochi drive?

It is the 31 km stretch after ChargeZone x TATA.ev MegaCharger, before Relux 30KW Hotel Himalaya. Charge to cover at least that distance before entering it.

Which charging networks operate on the Bengaluru to Kochi route?

ChargeMod (49 locations), Zeon Charging (43 locations), Tata Power (39 locations), GO EC (32 locations), Statiq (30 locations) and Chargezone (23 locations), plus 8 smaller operators. The remaining 530 locations have no operator recorded in our dataset.

How many times will I need to charge driving Bengaluru to Kochi?

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 2 stops, while the BMW iX3 (460 km rated) needs 1 stop.

How long does the Bengaluru to Kochi drive take?

The routing engine puts the 532 km drive at 11 hr 25 min of driving time, before any charging. Add the time for the charging stops your car needs from the table above.

How many charging stops you need, Bengaluru to Kochi

Stops are the number of times a car must add range to cover 532 km, assuming 70% of rated range is usable between stops (the buffer that highway speeds, load and arrival reserve actually take). Formula: stops = ceil(532 / usable range) − 1.
