Our Story
Bolt.Earth was founded in 2017 by Mohit Yadav and Jyotiranjan Harichandan with the aim of making EV charging more accessible to everyone.
Bolt.Earth is India’s largest EV charging network, with over 37,000+ charging points across more than 1,700+ cities, serving 246,000+ active EV users. Operating as a peer-to-peer, distributed charging network, Bolt.Earth supports 2, 3, and 4-wheeler EVs, offering both standard and fast charging options.
We’re truly making the charging infrastructure for EVs smart, safe, and connected.

2024: A Year of Milestones
2024 marked a pivotal year of growth and leadership transformation at Bolt.Earth. Raghav Bharadwaj stepped in as our new CEO, guiding us into the next phase of our journey. Meanwhile, our Co-founders, Mohit Yadav and Jyotiranjan Harichandan, took on new roles as CTO and Head of Strategic Partnerships, respectively, to further strengthen our ecosystem.
Alongside these leadership changes, we secured $5 million in Series A+ funding, led by Version One Ventures and backed by Union Square Ventures and Prime Venture Partners.
This funding fueled our expansion, and by year-end, our network had grown to 36,000+ chargers, dispensing 3,400+ MWh of energy across 1,600+ cities, serving over 210,000 users. This growth secured us a 63% market share in the number of public charging stations deployed across India.
The industry took notice. Recognized as India’s largest charging network by JMK Research and Analytics and the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), we cemented our position at the forefront of the EV revolution.
Our focus on innovation didn’t stop with network growth. We launched the Blaze AC fast charger for 4-wheelers and the Blaze DC fast charger for 2-wheelers, delivering up to 100 km of range in just 15 minutes of charging.

2023
Making headway towards a future-proof EV Ecosystem
This year, we started off with changing our name from BOLT to Bolt.Earth. 2023 proved to be a year of further expansion and progress for us. We extended our charging network to over 30,000 chargers across India and dispensing 1000MWh of energy, enhancing accessibility for EV owners and eradicating range anxiety issues.
2022
Expanding EV Infrastructure Nationwide
In 2022, we installed over 20,000 charging points in more than 500 cities, creating a robust network within India to cater to the increasing demand for electric vehicles. Alongside this infrastructure growth, we dispensed an impressive 500 megawatt-hours (MWh) of energy, providing efficient and accessible charging solutions to EV owners.
These accomplishments were complemented by the rapid growth of our user base, surpassing 100K+ app users and solidifying our position as a leader in the EV sector.

2021
Bolt.Earth Empowering the E-mobility Transition
This year was a game changer for us. We introduced the Re 1 campaign, an initiative designed to incentivize individuals and businesses to embrace EV charging at home and in public areas. This helped in building substantial growth for EV charging across the country. As part of this campaign, we also deployed the Bolt.Earth OS in over 10,000 EVs, equipping more users with smarter features for their EVs. This strategic move played a pivotal role in accelerating EV adoption in the country.
2020
Bolt.Earth Becomes India's Largest Charging Network
We proudly launched our first EV equipped with the groundbreaking Bolt.Earth OS, a testament to our commitment to building a solid EV software stack. This marked a crucial milestone in our mission to revolutionize E-mobility in India. Furthermore, we emerged as the largest charging network across the nation, establishing a solid foundation to support the growing adoption of electric vehicles.
2019
Establishing E-Mobility across India
In 2019, Bolt.Earth made significant progress in the global EV market, collaborating closely with partners in China and other South-east Asian countries. We laid the groundwork for our multi-support OS by integrating controllers and speedometers.
The year saw the introduction of the monochrome and segmented blue display speedometers. By the end of 2019, we successfully launched the monochrome speedometer with Batt:RE and established important partnerships with Sun mobility and mirakle5. These achievements solidified our position as a leading player in the EV industry.

2018
The Beginnings of the Bolt.Earth Charging Network
2018 was the year when we successfully built a smart, reliable, and accessible charging network. We were able to create well-considered offerings that allowed us to position our technology towards individuals.
We also managed to reduce the entry point to our technology, providing individuals with convenient residential charging. To do this, we grew the business and scaled our manufacturing and distribution operations. This year, we went on to launch India’s first peer-to-peer EV charging network.
We released the Bolt.Earth mobile app that enables owners to generate a passive income from their charging solution. This gave people the power to simply scan-pay-charge and generate a passive income.

2017
Bolt.Earth (formerly REVOS) Is Founded
Bolt.Earth started its march towards a cleaner, greener future in 2017.
We recognized how badly India needed cost-effective infrastructure to adopt EVs. Our goal was to create an infrastructure that can grow organically to bring a positive change.
We began creating connected devices with the Internet of Things (IoT), and our initial offering grew widely popular. This allowed us to establish partnerships and from there we changed our brand name from REVOS to Bolt.Earth.
