EV charging stations in Bengaluru

EV charging in Bengaluru

Bengaluru is India's EV-charging capital, with thousands of public stations across the city. Find the nearest fast or standard charger below.

Bengaluru has more public charging points than any other Indian city, and the reason is structural rather than accidental: Karnataka was the first state to publish a dedicated EV policy, BESCOM built out public charging early, and the city's technology workforce adopted electric vehicles ahead of the national curve. The result is unusual depth across operator types — BESCOM's own network, Tata Power, Statiq, ChargeZone, Relux and Zeon, plus a dense layer of workplace and apartment charging that does not appear on public maps at all. Bengaluru is also where India's battery-swap networks for two-wheelers are most mature, driven by the city's enormous delivery-rider population.

Where to find chargers in Bengaluru

Charger density follows the tech corridors. Whitefield and the Outer Ring Road belt through Marathahalli and Bellandur carry the highest concentration, tied to office campuses and the malls serving them. Koramangala, Indiranagar and HSR Layout are well covered by a mix of retail, restaurant and co-working locations — convenient because these are places people already stop for an hour. Electronic City has strong coverage on the southern side, and central areas around MG Road and Jayanagar have steadily filled in. Hebbal and Yeshwanthpur serve the northern side and the airport road.

Use the search box above to jump straight to any of these areas — Whitefield, Koramangala, Indiranagar, Electronic City and more are listed, and you can also search any address or pincode in Bengaluru. Each station shows its operator, connector types, maximum power, last reported status and a directions link, so you can confirm a charger suits your vehicle before driving to it.

Driving out of Bengaluru: highway corridors

Bengaluru–Chennai along NH-48 is one of India's better-equipped intercity EV routes, and Bengaluru–Mysuru on the expressway is now comfortably drivable in most EVs with fast chargers at the main stops. Bengaluru–Hyderabad has improved substantially. The routes towards Coorg, Chikmagalur and the Western Ghats hill stations remain the ones to plan carefully, since charger density drops quickly once you leave the main highways and gradients consume more energy than flat running.

For any intercity drive, plan the whole corridor rather than searching city by city. The EV route planner maps your route, lists every charger along it in travel order with the gap between each one, and flags any stretch longer than your vehicle's real-world range — which is the number that actually decides whether a trip is comfortable.

Owning an EV in Bengaluru

Karnataka's early EV policy and Bengaluru's traffic profile combine to make the city unusually favourable for electric vehicles. Average speeds are low and journeys are stop-start, which is precisely the condition where electric drivetrains are most efficient and petrol vehicles least — many Bengaluru owners report real-world efficiency better than the city average elsewhere in India. The city's delivery and cab fleets have electrified faster than anywhere else in the country, which in turn drives demand for both fast charging and battery swapping, and explains why utilisation at well-placed Bengaluru chargers is among the highest nationally.

Whether public charging is a convenience or a necessity depends largely on your parking. If you can charge at home overnight on a domestic tariff of roughly ₹6–9 per unit, public charging at ₹15–25 per unit becomes a top-up and road-trip tool rather than your main supply. If you park on the street or in a shared lot, weight charger availability near home and work heavily when choosing a vehicle, and consider a two-wheeler with a removable battery if that fits your use. You can model both cases on the EV vs petrol cost calculator.

Checking whether a charger actually works

Across India a meaningful share of listed public chargers are non-functional at any given time, and Bengaluru is no exception — broken connectors, offline payment systems, blocked bays and unpowered units are all common. Every station on this map shows its last reported status, and EV owners can report what they find on arrival, so you see community evidence rather than only a database entry. If you use a charger here, taking a moment to report it working or not working makes the map more reliable for the next driver in Bengaluru.

Thinking of setting up a charging station in Bengaluru?

Charger demand in Bengaluru is growing faster than supply in several pockets, which is why a growing number of enquiries we receive are from site owners rather than drivers. If you have land, a shop, a fuel station or a parking facility in the city, our guide to setting up an EV charging station covers the investment, approvals, subsidies and site selection, and the ROI calculator models the payback for your specific numbers.
