Why Blaze DC Is the Right Choice for Apartments and Enterprises
Raghav Bharadwaj

India’s electric vehicle (EV) revolution is no longer confined to highways and dealerships; it’s coming home to high-rises and heading to corporate campuses.
With over 1.75 million EVs sold in FY24 and projections targeting 5 million electric two-wheelers annually by 2027, the demand for fast, reliable, and interoperable charging infrastructure is on the rise across residential and commercial spaces.
As India’s urban landscapes evolve, residential and commercial spaces are taking the driver’s seat in steering the transition toward sustainable mobility. Today, residents look for the convenience of EV charging at home, and employees expect their workplaces to support their climate-first choices. Moreover, facility managers and developers are under pressure to meet their sustainability (ESG) goals without compromising daily operations.
So what’s the real challenge? As we’ve explored in earlier blogs, most existing charging solutions are slow, brand-specific, or simply not built for India’s unique and evolving EV landscape.
But that gap ends here. With Blaze DC in the market, built for speed, interoperability, and scalability, it’s a strategic asset for future-ready properties.
In this blog, we explore five reasons why Blaze DC is the right choice for apartments and enterprises. This will help you enhance property value, future-proof infrastructure, and elevate the resident experience.
1. Universal fast charging built for India’s EVs
Blaze DC is India’s first universally compatible fast charger engineered to cater to two- and three-wheelers. It supports both Type 6 and LECCS Type 7 connectors, making it compatible with over 80% of fast-charging-enabled EVs in India. This includes Ola, Ather, Hero MotoCorp, Ultraviolette, and Simple Energy.
The best part is there are three variants, 3kW, 6kW, or 12kW, to choose from to match your infrastructure needs or according to the footfall demand in your properties. Whether it's gated community parking or a sprawling enterprise campus, Blaze DC is engineered to cut queues and keep up with charging uptime.
- For apartments: Residents get shared QR access, faster sessions, and no brand limitations.
- For enterprises: Fleet and employee vehicles charge on demand, even during peak hours, reducing idle time and increasing utilization of chargers.
Given that Blaze DC is brand-neutral and interoperable, you don’t need separate chargers for different EVs.
The speed we are talking about isn’t just convenience; it’s a necessity. It’s about turnover and trust, especially for apartments, where your residents can charge quickly, and for enterprises, your employees and fleet vehicles are always ready to charge and go.
- The 6kW and 3kW variants offer 80 km and 40 km range, respectively, in just 15 minutes.
- The 12kW variant delivers up to 120 km range in 15 minutes; that’s 1% charge in 1 minute.

2. Integrates seamlessly with apartment and office infrastructure
Blaze DC is designed for India’s urban density. It’s compact, modular, and grid-friendly, which fits into every property's needs. If space is a constraint, like in an IT park, you can easily wall-mount the Blaze DC, and if you’re looking to install these chargers in a gated community, you can choose the pedestal-style installation with minimal disruption.
For apartments, you get:
- Shared access with QR authentication
- Smart billing system
- Minimal crowding at basement or open parking
For enterprises, Blaze DC can have:
- Centralized monitoring via Bolt.Earth’s CMS
- Integration with employee ID systems
Here is a quick case study for you to see how we helped streamline an overcrowded charging station at one of Bengaluru’s top gated communities and supported the RWA to optimize charger utilization among residents.
Case study: Optimized an overcrowded charging point at Purva Westend, Bengaluru, with Blaze DC
Challenge:
With more residents adopting electric vehicles, Purva Westend in Bengaluru needed a solution that would streamline the EV charging infrastructure, make it less crowded, and provide smart, future-ready charging that aligned with their commitment to sustainability and resident convenience.
What changed?
We installed three chargers with varied capacities and formats. Namely, Blaze DC fast charger (deployed in April 2025), Blaze AC fast charger (in June 2023), and Lite, an EV charging socket (in February 2025).
With seamless integration into the property’s electrical setup and smart monitoring through the Bolt.Earth platform, residents and guests now enjoy accessible, hassle-free charging that reflects the community’s sustainable values.
Tech highlights:
- Smart access and monitoring via Bolt.Earth platform

3. Turn charging into a revenue stream
For decades, EV charging has been perceived as a sunk cost, an amenity offered out of necessity, not profitability. Blaze DC challenges that assumption head-on.
With Bolt.Earth’s Charger Management System (CMS), at its core, Blaze DC transforms charging infrastructure into a revenue-generating machine.
As an operator, you can:
- Set custom per-kWh pricing
- Monitor usage in real time via the CMS
- Open chargers to the public during off-peak hours to maximize utilization.
Here’s a simple ROI calculation: Imagine a 6kW Blaze DC charger deployed in a residential complex or commercial hub. With eight sessions per day, averaging 12 kWh each, the charger dispenses 96 kWh daily.
If you set a rate of ₹22 per kWh, you can earn ₹2,112 in daily revenue. With margins ranging between ₹8 and ₹10 per kWh, you can expect gross earnings of ₹768 to ₹960 per day, totaling ₹23,000 to ₹29,000 per month.
These figures aren’t hypothetical. They align with Ecogears’ financial projections, which show that fast chargers in India can yield a 30% to 40% margin per session, even before utilization scales.
What’s more, you ask? Well, Blaze DC’s pricing and access controls allow you to experiment with monetization models. For example, subscription-based charging for residents, pay-per-use for visitors, and bundled packages for delivery fleets.
This flexibility makes Blaze DC not just a charger but a business model in itself. For apartments, RWAs, and enterprises, the shift from cost center to profit center is finally achievable, don’t you agree?
4. Safety meets smart monitoring
When it comes to shared environments like gated communities, office parks, or retail zones, we all agree that safety is non-negotiable.
Thus, Blaze DC is designed to meet that need for safety with enterprise-grade protections that activate automatically, without requiring manual intervention. Blaze DC chargers come with:
- Short-circuit and over-voltage protection
- Earth fault and current leakage detection
- An emergency stop button and IP54 weatherproofing
These features ensure that your chargers remain resilient in any weather and withstand the unpredictability of India’s grid and density.
But that’s not all. Blaze DC isn’t just about safety; it’s also designed to be smart. The integration with Bolt.Earth’s CMS enables you to monitor charger status across multiple locations. Predictive maintenance alerts flag potential issues before they escalate, and you also get remote diagnostics and over-the-air (OTA) updates. This reduces service calls, minimizes downtime, and enhances user experience, whether it’s your resident or an employee topping up between shifts.
5. Futureproof for a greener tomorrow
India’s EV market is projected to grow by 40% in 2025, with the country needing over 3.9 million charging stations by 2030. Yet, cities like Nagpur still have just one public charger for every 515 EVs, a ratio that underscores the infrastructure gap.
The urgency to scale up to match the momentum is real. Government mandates, ESG goals, and shifting consumer expectations are attempts to make EV infrastructure not just desirable but indispensable.
Blaze DC is engineered to make fast charging inclusive and easier. Its universal and interoperable personality supports both BIS-approved Type 6 and Type 7 connectors, meaning it’s compatible with over 90% of fast-charging-enabled two- and three-wheelers in India. Moreover, its modular design allows for easy upgrades. Compliance with Bharat Charge Alliance standards further guarantees interoperability across OEMs and platforms, making Blaze DC a future-ready investment.
As Raghav Bharadwaj, CEO of Bolt.Earth, aptly puts it, “Blaze DC is built by Indian engineers, for Indian infrastructure. It’s not just a charger; it’s a catalyst for everyday EV adoption.”
Did you know? Average Blaze DC charger uptime exceeds 99.5%, based on internal benchmarks. And properties report a 60% reduction in EV complaints post-deployment.
