EV charging stations in Davangere

EV charging in Davangere

Davangere sits about 260 km from Bengaluru on NH-48 — the first point where an electric car heading north genuinely needs to charge. Find a working station below.

Davangere has the clearest charging picture of any city on this corridor, because the local RTO has published it. Sixteen charging facilities exist across the district in association with BESCOM — ten in Davangere city, three in Channagiri taluk and three in Jagalur town — and every one is at a public-sector oil company fuel pump: eleven IOCL, four HPCL and one BPCL, rated 60 kW and 120 kW. There is also a BESCOM-run car and two-wheeler station next to the BESCOM office on Hadadi Road. Independent operators are present but sparse — Statiq lists sites at Rastha Resto Bar and Mahanth Motors, and ChargeZone has district coverage — so the oil-company forecourts carry most of the capacity.

Charging stations by city in the region

Davangere sits within Delhi NCR. If you drive across the region, these neighbouring city pages carry their own station lists: EV charging stations in Satara, EV charging stations in Kolhapur, EV charging stations in Belagavi, EV charging stations in Hubballi, EV charging stations in Tumakuru.

Where to find chargers in Davangere

IOCL forecourts are the highest-probability stop, simply because eleven of the sixteen district facilities are IOCL sites. In the city, the BESCOM station on Hadadi Road is a dependable alternative, and there are a handful of independent listings including Statiq sites. The NH-48 approach at Bada Cross, where a vehicular underpass marks the city entrance at chainage km 255.770, is the natural highway access point. If you are continuing without entering the city, check the highway forecourts before committing to that plan.

Use the search box above to jump straight to any of these areas — Hadadi Road, Harihara, Anagodu, Lokikere and more are listed, and you can also search any address or pincode in Davangere. 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.

Charging an electric scooter or bike in Davangere

Two-wheelers are the largest EV segment in Davangere, and they charge differently from cars. An electric scooter draws far less power, so a standard 5A or 15A domestic socket is usually enough for an overnight charge — which is why most scooter owners rarely use public chargers at all. Where public charging matters is for riders who cannot charge where they park, and for delivery riders who need to top up mid-shift.

For those riders, three options exist in Davangere: AC points on the map above (many work for scooters with the right connector), Ather Grid fast-charging points aimed at two-wheelers, and battery swapping from networks such as Battery Smart, Bounce and Sun Mobility, which replace a drained pack in about two minutes rather than charging it. Swapping has grown fastest among gig riders precisely because downtime costs them income. If you ride for a living, see our guide to electric scooters for delivery riders and consider a model with a removable battery.

What charging costs in Davangere

Public charging is priced per unit of electricity. Expect roughly ₹15–25 per kWh at DC fast chargers and ₹8–15 at AC points, and note that advertised rates are usually exclusive of 18% GST — so a charger quoting ₹18/kWh actually bills around ₹21.24. Charging at home on a domestic tariff of ₹6–10 per unit is dramatically cheaper, which is why owners with home charging treat public networks as a top-up rather than a primary supply.

Driving out of Davangere: highway corridors

Davangere sits at around chainage km 256–260 on NH-48, roughly 260 km from Bengaluru — close to the practical limit of a single charge for most Indian electric cars driven at highway speed, and the reason this is the most important northbound stop on the Karnataka stretch. Northbound to Hubballi is around 145 km; southbound, Chitradurga and then Tumakuru lead to Bengaluru. If you are driving Bengaluru to Pune or Kolhapur, plan Davangere as your first real charging stop rather than hoping to stretch to Hubballi.

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 Davangere

The district has 697 electric cars and 11,802 electric two-wheelers on the road, with car registrations rising from 17 in 2022 to 292 in 2025 and 204 in the first half of 2026 alone. Davangere was a first-round Smart Cities Mission selection with an area-based development footprint of 785 acres, and its economy runs on agriculture-based food processing, education and its role as central Karnataka's main trading centre. Karnataka's EV road-tax exemption ended in April 2026, with cars now paying 5 to 10 per cent of cost depending on price band.

Whether public charging is a convenience or a necessity depends largely on your parking. If you can charge at home overnight, public charging becomes a top-up and road-trip tool. 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.

Checking whether a charger actually works

Across India a meaningful share of listed public chargers are non-functional at any given time, and Davangere 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 Davangere.

Thinking of setting up a charging station in Davangere?

Charger demand in Davangere 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.
