Log9 mobility is going to launch India’s first WhatsApp payment based charging. Log9 mobility is a deep-tech and advanced battery tech startup based in Bengaluru.
In India, the latter provides a platform for more than 550 fast charging stations. In order to increase the use of fast charging options for EV users, the partnership’s partners hope to offer a one-stop shop for payments at charging stations.
The WhatsApp payment option will initially be available to drivers of electric three-wheelers and will later expand to two-wheelers and four-wheelers EVs, as well.
Kartik Hajela, COO & Co-founder, Log9 Mobility, said, “I am certain that the partnership with Pulse Energy will be instrumental in offering impeccable charging experience to EV users, eventually leading to the much-needed expansion of the charging infrastructure and EV mobility in India.”
Devang Mistry, CTO & Co-Founder, Pulse Energy said, “When we looked at software providers in the charging market today, we found everyone was selling inexpensive, white-labelled apps to CPOs who were willing to pay. We took a different approach and looked at what EV users want and what challenges they face due to multiple charging apps. Our approach so far has yielded a higher charger utilisation for CPOs, and satisfied EV drivers.”
Pulse Energy had partnered with WhatsApp@Meta and WATI to bring forward this payment gateway for EV users.
Ravi Garg, Director, Business Messaging, WhatsApp India said, “We are delighted to partner with Pulse Energy and Log9 Mobility to enable users to charge their EVs seamlessly using the WhatsApp Business platform and its inbuilt payment solution. It is a proud moment for us at WhatsApp to play a meaningful role in empowering consumers in the evolving EV ecosystem in the country.”
