Bengaluru, India |
July 30, 2025 : Bolt.Earth, India’s largest
EV charging network, has collaborated with the Guruvayur Devaswom Board to
deploy a dedicated EV charging setup at Kerala’s iconic Guruvayur Temple.
Rather than installing a
generic charging setup, Bolt.Earth designed the deployment to match how people
actually move through Guruvayur, from the types of EVs used for last-mile
mobility to the long dwell times of visiting devotees.
The deployment includes a mix
of standard 3.3 kW EV charging sockets, ideal for e-rickshaws
and two-wheelers serving the temple town, and 7–11 kW AC fast
chargers to support four-wheelers arriving from across Kerala and Tamil
Nadu. This balanced mix ensures that both local and outstation visitors can
reliably charge their vehicles during their visit.
All chargers are seamlessly
integrated with the Bolt.Earth mobile app, available on both Play
Store and App Store.
Guruvayur is one of India’s
busiest temple towns, with daily footfall ranging from 15,000 to 30,000,
peaking at over 50,000 on festival days. Yet despite the growing
number of EV users across Kerala and neighboring states, reliable charging
options at pilgrimage centers remain limited.
“During peak
seasons at Guruvayur, devotees often spend four hours or more on the premises,
especially during festivals like Seeveli. This presents a natural window for EV
Charging," says Raghav
Bharadwaj, CEO, Bolt.Earth . “But like many
high-traffic public spaces, the location lacks reliable infrastructure.
Deployments like this are essential to support the growing number of electric
vehicles and to ensure that progress reaches the places people actually move
through every day,” he adds.
Bolt.Earth’s deployment
addresses this infrastructure gap, ensuring that EV-driving pilgrims can arrive
and depart without range anxiety disrupting their spiritual journey.
This installation joins a
growing national effort to green India’s religious infrastructure, echoing
successful deployments across other high-footfall spiritual corridors like
Uttarakhand’s Char Dham circuit. As EV adoption expands beyond urban centers,
temples like Guruvayur are becoming key nodes in building inclusive, clean
mobility infrastructure.
The deployment also reflects Bolt.Earth’s
operational reliability—with zero hardware failures to date—enabled
by best-in-class support and 24×7 customer service.
As India’s leading EV
infrastructure provider, Bolt.Earth supports homes, businesses, and
fleets—including Tata, Bajaj, Mahindra, American Express, SAP, Brigade Group,
and Sobha Realty—with end-to-end solutions from hardware and installation to
software and maintenance.
