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

Zevvy has 683 charging locations mapped within 15 km of the 721 km route. 624 locations have DC fast charging; the rest are AC or not recorded.

Can I drive from Chennai 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 16 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 2 to 4 charging stops.

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

CCS2 at 590 locations, Type 2 AC at 105 locations, CHAdeMO at 57 locations, GB/T DC at 4 locations, IEC 60309 industrial (3-pin) 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 Chennai to Kochi drive?

It is the 16 km stretch after Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited Charging Station, before Zeon Charging Station. Charge to cover at least that distance before entering it.

Which charging networks operate on the Chennai to Kochi route?

ChargeMod (49 locations), Zeon Charging (33 locations), GO EC (32 locations), Tata Power (18 locations), Chargezone (13 locations) and Relux Electric (9 locations), plus 4 smaller operators. The remaining 517 locations have no operator recorded in our dataset.

How many charging stops you need, Chennai to Kochi

Stops are the number of times a car must add range to cover 721 km, assuming 70% of rated range is usable between stops (the buffer that highway speeds, load and arrival reserve actually take). Formula: stops = ceil(721 / usable range) − 1.
