Volvo Car India and ChargeZone have inaugurated an ultra-fast electric vehicle (EV) charging station on the Mumbai–Nashik Highway near Igatpuri, Maharashtra. Located at Food Hills, the facility features a 360kW star charge power unit and two dynamic load-balancing dispensers designed to optimize power distribution and reduce waiting times for EV users.
The station offers dedicated charging bays for Volvo EVs, while also allowing access for other electric vehicle users. It includes app-based navigation and payment functionality. The dynamic load-balancing setup distributes available power between dispensers based on demand, enabling faster and more efficient real-world charging compared to fixed-output units.
Jyoti Malhotra, Managing Director of Volvo Car India, said the station is the first step toward establishing a wide charging network across India through the partnership. “The new 360kW station on the Mumbai–Nashik Highway is the first step in delivering a world-class charging experience across India,” she said.
Kartikey Hariyani, Founder and CEO of ChargeZone, described the installation as a key move toward making long-distance EV travel faster and more predictable. “As EV adoption accelerates, our priority is to ensure that long-distance travel becomes fast, seamless, and predictable,” he said.
The station is the first co-branded charging point under the 2025 Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two companies. Additional stations are planned for 2026, though exact locations and timelines have not yet been disclosed. ChargeZone currently operates over 13,500 charging points across more than 1,200 locations in India and the UAE.
