Mercedes-Benz Research and Development India And Evnnovator Set To Transform EV Industry In India

Mercedes-Benz Research and Development India (MBRDI) is nurturing Evnnovator, a startup, to provide a comprehensive EV charging experience to the end-users. Built by an ex-MBRDI employee, Evnnovator offers all three options of finding, charging, and paying at the charging station to its users through its mobile app -FICH.

Reinforcing its commitment to nurturing an innovation mindset, MBRDI supported the idea of the employee turned entrepreneur to research the EV industry. Subsequently, this employee founded Evnnovator, a start-up that aims to transform the EV industry by providing an end-to-end EV charging experience to the end-users. 

Commenting on the development, Manu Saale, Managing Director and CEO, MBRDI, said, “Adequate charging infrastructure is one of the prerequisites for the adoption of EVs. Therefore, charging stations and their availability is essential for these vehicles' sustainable operation.” 

Evnnovator is a multi-brand venture that any EV customer can use to locate charging stations in cities or highways. The company’s solution FICH (Find Charger) app will allow an end-user to find the closest compatible and available EV charging stations by collecting data from multiple charge point operators. 

Starting in October 2022, this app will be accessible on iOS and Android devices. Evnnovator will also be supported by a technology-focused EV charging infrastructure company—Charge Zone.
