The Adani Electricity Mumbai Ltd has launched the ‘Share Charge’
initiative, simplifying electric vehicle charging in residential
complexes in the city, an official spokesperson said here on Tuesday.
The innovative technology eliminates the complexities of
individual EV charging and offers a streamlined, cost-effective,
sustainable solution, said the company.
Adani Electricity is
rapidly rolling out 8,500 such chargers and installing them in 4,000
housing societies in suburban Mumbai with several key benefits to
customers who are now taking to electric vehicles in a big way.
Most
importantly, the Share Charge will do away with the need for separate
chargers or complex wiring with one centralised, ARAI-certified charging
station that maximises space but minimises installation hassles.
Customers
can easily schedule their charging sessions, monitor usage and pay
directly through a user-friendly mobile app. Share Charge promotes
responsible energy use while offering the most competitive charging
rates leading to sustainability and money savings.

Electricity official explained that the Share Charge solution is unique,
affordable and solves many challenges faced by housing complexes while
planning their infrastructure for residents.
“We are committed to
making the transition to electric vehicles seamless for housing
societies and Share Charge is a testament to this, delivering a
stress-free, cost-saving solution encouraging the widespread adoption of
EVs,” explained the official.
Residents of several housing
societies like Borivali’s Dheeraj Savera Tower’s Secretary M. Gouthaman
and Andheri’s Runwal Elegante Society’s resident Amit Mulchandani lauded
this initiative.
The Share Charge takes around seven hours for
four-wheelers and four hours for two-wheelers, and one charger serves
multiple vehicles on alternate days. This is considered the most
affordable charging solution.
Since Adani Electricity already
sources 35 per cent of its power from renewable sources and targets 60
per cent by 2027, the Share Charge offers a direct way for housing
societies to contribute to a greener future.
