Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India] Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], July 31: Bolt.earth, India’s largest EV charging network, has collaborated with the Guruvayur Devaswom Board to set up a dedicated EV charging setup at the iconic Guruvayur temple in Kerala. Instead of setting up a generic charging setup, Bolt.earth has designed it in a way that it adapts to the actual movement of people in Guruvayur, whether it is EVs used for last-mile mobility or longer stays of visiting devotees.
The setup includes standard 3.3 kW EV charging sockets, ideal for e-rickshaws and two-wheelers serving the temple town, and 7-11 kW AC fast chargers to support four-wheelers coming from Kerala and Tamil Nadu. This balanced mix ensures that both local and external visitors can charge their vehicles reliably during their visit. All the chargers are seamlessly integrated with the Bolt.earth mobile app, which is available on both the Play Store and the App Store. Guruvayur is one of the busiest temple towns in India, with a footfall of 15,000 to 30,000 people per day, and over 50,000 during festival days. Despite the growing number of electric vehicle users in Kerala and neighbouring states, reliable charging options at pilgrimage sites are limited.
“During peak seasons in Guruvayur, devotees often spend four hours or more on the premises, especially during festivals like Seeveli. This provides a natural opportunity for charging electric vehicles,” says Raghav Bharadwaj, CEO, Bolt.earth. “But like many busy public places, this location lacks reliable infrastructure. Such deployments are essential to support the growing number of electric vehicles and ensure that the progress reaches places where people actually visit every day.”
Bolt.earth’s installation fills this infrastructure gap, ensuring that pilgrims driving electric vehicles can commute without disruptions in their spiritual journey. The installation ties into a growing national effort to green India’s religious infrastructure, reminiscent of successful installations in other high-frequency spiritual corridors such as the Char Dham Circuit in Uttarakhand. As the use of electric vehicles expands beyond urban centres, temples such as Guruvayur are becoming key hubs in building inclusive, clean mobility infrastructure.
The installation also demonstrates Bolt.earth’s operational reliability – with zero hardware failures to date – enabled by best-in-class support and 24×7 customer service. As India’s leading electric vehicle infrastructure provider, Bolt.earth supports homes, businesses and fleets – including Tata, Bajaj, Mahindra, American Express, SAP, Brigade Group and Sobha Realty – with end-to-end solutions ranging from hardware and installation to software and maintenance.
