BESCOM EV Mitra App Now Multilingual with WhatsApp Payments
Bengaluru, India – In a significant move to boost electric vehicle (EV) adoption in Karnataka, the Bangalore Electricity Supply Company Limited (BESCOM) has launched an upgraded version of its EV Mitra app. The revamped app offers a more intuitive and user-friendly interface, along with several new features designed to enhance the overall experience for EV owners.
One of the key enhancements in the updated EV Mitra app is the introduction of multilingual support. The app is now available in 11 languages, including Kannada, Hindi, and English, making it accessible to a wider range of users across the state. This feature is especially beneficial for those who may not be proficient in English, as it allows them to easily navigate the app and access information in their preferred language.
In addition to multilingual support, the EV Mitra app has also been equipped with a WhatsApp support bot. This innovative feature enables users to initiate charging and process payments directly through WhatsApp, eliminating the need to open the app or use additional platforms. This streamlined process aims to make the EV charging experience even more convenient and hassle-free.
Government Supports EV Adoption with BESCOM’s App Upgrade
The upgraded app provides comprehensive details on EV charging stations, including their locations, availability, and amenities. This information empowers users to plan their journeys efficiently and locate charging stations that meet their specific needs. In case of any technical issues during charging, users can now receive a refund directly through the app.
Energy Minister KJ George emphasized that the multilingual interface of the EV Mitra app reflects the government’s commitment to making green travel more accessible and affordable for everyone. Mahantesh Bilagi, managing director of BESCOM, reiterated the company’s dedication to enhancing user experience as it continues to develop EV-charging infrastructure in Karnataka.
