Q: How competitive is the EV charging industry, and what differentiates your company from others? What is your view on the current state of EV adoption and charging infrastructure?
The EV charging industry in India is rapidly evolving, and with all the numbers of EVs cumulatively, we have not even scratched the surface about 4% of the total base. To be able to provide charging assistance to these vehicles is a critical infrastructure need to ensure a stable ecosystem and eliminate the range anxiety. Therefore, various models and frameworks are being adopted by multiple established and new age start-ups. There is huge room to grow, however, as an industry, we must look at providing solutions that are first time right, as this is experience-led adoption and no one has the liberty to make mistakes. Challenges such as high infrastructure costs, charging infrastructure availability, and grid limitations remain significant besides accessibility, land acquisition issues, and downtime for maintenance, especially in certain urban and tier 2 and 3 towns. Our solutions are painstakingly designed and tested under stringent conditions to ensure energy delivery at the time it’s needed.
The Mobec Differentiator:
Unlike traditional charging stations, Mobec offers mobile and ultra-fast EV charging that brings power to users instead of making them search for a station. Our portable DC chargers (5-60 kW) work for all types of EVs, from two-wheelers to fleets, making charging easy and convenient anytime, anywhere.
Q: How do you see the demand for EV charging evolving in the next decade? What are the biggest market challenges, and how is your company addressing them?
While our govt has taken an ambitious target of 30% EVs by 2030, and we have a long haul with the demand for EV charging infra is all set to grow rapidly over the next decade as more people and businesses switch to electric vehicles. Government support, rising fuel costs, and the need for cleaner transport will drive this shift. However, challenges like limited charging infrastructure, range anxiety, and stable power grid and strain still exist. As an organisation, we have tasked ourselves with solutions that are infra friendly, less cost intensive, and remove the need for blocking premium real estate designated for only EV charging. As an organisation, Mobec is solving these issues with:
*Mobile Charging Solutions – Our MAC 30, Smart 5, and Van (30/60 kW) provide fast, on-the-go charging for all EVs.
*Energy Storage (ESS & BESS) – Our New Generation GEN Set (7 kW & 30 kW) ensures backup power, reducing grid load.
*Convenient Charging via App – Users can schedule charging anywhere, anytime.
* Battery Recycling & Reuse – We recover materials and refurbish old batteries to cut waste and costs.
With flexible and sustainable solutions, Mobec is making EV charging easier, faster, and more accessible for India’s clean energy future.
Q: What new technologies is your company investing in for EV charging? What role does fast charging play in your overall strategy?
At Mobec Innovations, we are revolutionizing the EV charging ecosystem by investing in cutting-edge Mobile-Charging as a Service (M-CAAS) solutions. Our focus is on portable DC fast charging, ensuring that EV users are never stranded due to battery concerns. Fast charging plays a pivotal role in our strategy. Our Mobec Mini Replacement Generator offers rapid, on-the-go charging, eliminating the need for fixed infrastructure and enabling on-demand power delivery. By bridging the gap between convenience and sustainability, we are driving the next wave of seamless EV adoption across urban and remote locations.
Q: How is your company ensuring that EV charging remains environmentally sustainable?
Charging infrastructure for EVs can only be environment friendly once the entire ecosystem is closed looped with renewable sources of energy like hydro, solar or wind. To neutralise range anxiety, that prevails with existing and potential EV buyers, we need assured power for which we are still dependent upon the grid that has dependence of fossil fuels.
The industry take is taking cognisance of this and solutions are being worked out to ensure more eco-friendly solutions. Mobec is aligned to this need and working along with industry peers to look for sustainable solutions. Incidentally, with the establishment of a battery recycling plant recently, Mobec has initiated a contribution back to the EV ecosystem by providing nearly 99% pure recycled critical minerals, thereby taking footsteps towards environmentally friendly solutions.
Q: What are your company’s expansion plans—are you focusing on urban, highway, or rural networks?
As an organisation, our current focus is to provide customised B2B charging solutions, and we are currently engaging with Real Estate and Auto players to evaluate and adopt mobile EV charging solutions. In one of the cases, we are in advanced stages, and are currently seeing the initial adoption coming from urban pockets
Q: How does your company collaborate with governments, municipalities, and businesses?
Mobec is actively forging strategic partnerships to accelerate its mission of revolutionizing EV charging and battery solutions. One such collaboration is with GSI (Gopal Sagar Infra), where Mobec will be deploying EV charging points and portable charging solutions across multiple real estate projects in Noida, enhancing accessibility for urban EV users.
In the automotive sector Mobec is pioneering a new-generation GEN Set for its Service on Wheels (SOWs)project, currently in the R&D phase under a signed NDA. This initiative aims to provide on-the-go charging and maintenance solutions, addressing a critical need in the EV ecosystem.
Additionally, Mobec is driving sustainability through a Pan-India collaboration with small-scale OEMs for battery recycling and refurbishment. These ongoing projects focus on extending battery life cycles, reducing waste, and promoting a circular economy in the EV industry. Through these partnerships, Mobec is strengthening its position as an innovator in EV infrastructure and sustainable energy solutions.
Q: What is your approach to public-private partnerships in building EV charging infrastructure?
Public-private partnerships (PPPs) are the best way to develop EV charging infrastructure. A public-focused approach ensures that policies are created for the benefit of everyone, making EV adoption more accessible and fairer. We have seen successful public partnerships in sectors like education, healthcare, banking, electricity distribution etc. These areas work well because policies focus on public welfare. The same approach can help in expanding EV charging networks. With the government providing support and private companies bringing efficiency, PPPs can speed up the development of charging stations while keeping them affordable and widely available.
Q: How do government incentives and policies impact your business? What policy changes do you think are necessary to accelerate EV adoption?
Government incentives and policies play a vital role in shaping the EV industry, directly impacting businesses like Mobec Innovation. Supportive measures such as the FAME (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles) scheme, subsidies on EV purchases, and tax benefits encourage both manufacturers and consumers to transition to electric mobility. Additionally, policies promoting domestic battery production and the removal of import duties on key materials like lithium-ion battery scrap, cobalt, and zinc are helping reduce costs and strengthen the EV ecosystem.
To further accelerate EV adoption, we believe policy changes may consider expanding charging infrastructure, especially for mobile and fast-charging solutions. Incentives for mobile charging services, battery-swapping technology, and renewable-powered charging stations can enhance accessibility and convenience for EV users. Additionally, streamlined regulations for setting up charging networks and integrating smart grid technology will ensure efficient energy use. At Mobec, we see these policy improvements as key to building a sustainable and widespread EV ecosystem, driving India toward a cleaner, more efficient and sustainable mobility future.
