Kazam at 100,000+: Building Smarter, Sustainable, and Global EV Charging Solutions

With 100,000+ charge points now live, how will Kazam ensure sustained uptime and user trust, especially in tier-2/3 cities where servicing and power stability can be tricky?

Sustainability is integrated throughout our operational framework. Working with bus depots, CPOs, and OEMs has taught us that demand-side flexibility is crucial for effective energy management.

We implement dynamic load balancing systems that help reduce energy costs while optimizing grid stability.

Our solutions include Time-of-Day (ToD) scheduling consultancy, helping depots and fleet operators structure their charging to minimize costs during peak tariff periods.

For comprehensive fleet management, we offer integrated routing and scheduling systems that automatically coordinate vehicle deployment with optimal charging windows.

Our in-house hardware incorporates safety features for voltage fluctuation protection and renewable energy integration capabilities, supporting both rooftop solar and grid-connected renewable sources.

We’ve also developed Kazam Buzz, a peer-to-peer energy trading platform that’s already facilitating active trading of surplus solar energy, enabling users to monetize excess generation while supporting grid stability and addressing the duck curve challenge.


How is Kazam leveraging the massive charging data—from peak loads to fleet vs. personal use— to drive predictive maintenance, dynamic pricing, and energy optimization?

Our extensive charging network generates rich data streams that we analyze to optimize operations across multiple dimensions.

We track usage patterns, peak demand periods, and differentiate between fleet and individual user behaviors to inform our strategies.

This data enables predictive maintenance algorithms that identify potential equipment issues before they cause downtime, reducing service disruptions and operational costs.

For pricing optimization, we use real-time demand analytics to implement dynamic tariff structures that balance grid load while maintaining affordability.

Our energy optimization systems analyze consumption patterns to help both individual users and fleet operators schedule charging during off- peak hours, reducing costs and grid strain.


Beyond CO₂ offset numbers, how is Kazam embedding sustainability into daily operations— like renewable integration, grid-friendly scheduling, or energy-efficient hardware?

As we moved on to work with OEMs setting up charging operations, CPOs using our software, and building charging solutions with bus depots, we understood that demand side flexibility was an important part of managing energy demand for utilities.

Through this we are able to reduce energy costs for bus depots by not only managing their energy with dynamic load balancing, but by identifying ToD and non -ToD hours and consulting depots on how to structure their charging schedule to reflet lower operating costs with not only energy, but overall operations as well, through offerings like routing and scheduling of EV fleets where the routes of travel and scheduling of charging would be taken care of automatically.

Our hardware also being built in-house has levels of safety incorporated into it to account for voltage fluctuations, and has the ability to incorporate solar either from rooftop solar, or from the grid supply.

We have developed solutions for CPOs, OEMs, Bus depots and more to integrate renewable energy into their operations.

We have also recently developed a peer to peer energy trading platform for users to sell their surplus solar energy to their neighbours called Kazam buzz, which is currently operational and piloting in Lucknow.


As EV adoption accelerates, what role do you see Kazam playing in enabling V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) or energy trading models within India’s evolving UEI framework?

We’re already implementing grid resilience technologies through our depot partnerships, focusing on demand-side flexibility that benefits both grid stability and customer economics.

Our systems help facilities optimize their charging schedules using ToD pricing structures, significantly reducing electricity costs while supporting grid balancing.

Kazam Buzz represents our entry into energy trading, addressing India’s duck curve challenge by facilitating peer-to-peer solar energy transactions.

With approximately 10GW of rooftop solar capacity already installed across India, our platform has the potential to significantly increase renewable energy utilization in the national grid mix.

As the UEI framework evolves, we’re positioned to expand these capabilities toward full V2G implementation, leveraging our existing infrastructure and data analytics capabilities to enable bi-directional energy flows that benefit both EV owners and grid operators.


Given your recent international ambitions, how will the learnings from India’s 100,000+ charge points shape your global strategy—especially in Southeast Asia and other emerging EV markets?

As a leading player in EV infrastructure in the global south, Kazam has developed deep technological expertise in accelerating EV transitions within developing economies. India’s rapid EV adoption – with over 5 million electric two-wheelers and extensive charging infrastructure – demonstrates the potential for emerging markets to achieve transformative growth when supported by the right technology solutions.

Southeast Asian markets like Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam are experiencing their own EV momentum, and we’re positioned to support their unique transition pathways through our comprehensive software platform. Beyond basic charging statistics, our solution focuses on intelligent energy management, helping operators optimize grid integration and reduce operational costs across diverse market conditions.

Our Operations & Maintenance module is particularly valuable – it helps CPOs maintain strict SLAs with charger OEMs while providing strategic consultation on infrastructure scaling and deployment. This combination of energy optimization and operational excellence, proven across India’s varied economic and geographic landscape, positions us to help emerging economies worldwide accelerate their EV transitions by addressing the specific challenges of developing market infrastructure efficiently and cost-effectively.
