Mobile Charging and Energy Storage Will Drive India’s EV Adoption: Mobec’s Harry Bajaj

April 04, 2026. By Abha Rustagi

At Mobec, we are building decentralised, mobile charging solutions to make EV adoption more practical, scalable, and efficient, said Harry Bajaj, Founder and CEO, Mobec Innovation, in an interview with Abha Rustagi, Associate Editor, Energetica India.

Que: Mobile EV charging is an emerging concept in India. How do you see this model complementing the traditional fixed EV charging infrastructure?

Ans: Mobile EV charging will play a crucial complementary role as India’s EV ecosystem scales rapidly across personal mobility, fleets, and commercial transport. With India targeting 30 percent EV penetration by 2030, the country will require around 1.32 million public charging stations, a nearly 45x increase from the current base of 29,000-30,000 chargers. This translates to installing close to 400,000 chargers annually, as highlighted by Confederation of Indian Industry estimates.

Given this scale, fixed infrastructure alone will take time to expand. Mobile EV charging can effectively bridge this gap by offering flexible, demand-driven solutions that can be deployed quickly across urban areas, highways, and emerging EV markets.

On-demand charging reduces range anxiety and improves accessibility by bringing charging directly to users, while also minimising downtime for fleet operators.

Rather than replacing fixed networks, mobile charging acts as a dynamic layer within the ecosystem, supporting emergency needs, fleet operations, and temporary demand clusters.

At Mobec, we are building decentralised, mobile charging solutions to make EV adoption more practical, scalable, and efficient.


Que: What are the major advantages of decentralised and mobile charging solutions, particularly for fleet operators, urban mobility, and emergency charging requirements?

Ans: Decentralised and mobile charging solutions address some of the most immediate challenges in India’s EV ecosystem today. As of early 2026, nearly 48 percent of public chargers are reported to be non-functional, and the current charger-to-EV ratio of around 1:235 highlights the gap between infrastructure and growing demand, despite the country’s ambitious “30@30” EV target.

In this context, mobile and decentralised charging offer clear advantages. For fleet operators, they enable charging at depots, warehouses, or operational hubs, significantly reducing downtime and improving vehicle utilisation.

In urban environments, where space constraints and grid limitations make it difficult to install fixed chargers, mobile solutions provide a flexible and practical alternative that can be deployed as needed.

They also play a critical role in emergency and roadside assistance, helping EV users facing low battery situations and reducing range anxiety.

Most importantly, these solutions are scalable and demand-driven, allowing charging infrastructure to be deployed and relocated based on real-time needs, making the overall ecosystem more efficient and responsive as EV adoption accelerates.


Que: Mobec has recently launched the MOBEC EV11 wall-mounted AC EV charger. Could you share the key features and technological innovations that make this charger suitable for residential, commercial, and fleet applications?

Ans: The MOBEC EV11 has been designed keeping in mind the evolving needs of today’s EV users, whether it’s residential, commercial, or fleet applications.

At its core, it’s a smart, technology-driven charger. We’ve integrated IoT capabilities, which allow for intelligent charging management and real-time monitoring. This becomes even more powerful with AI-driven optimisation, where users and operators can manage energy usage and charging demand more efficiently.

One of the key features is its OCPP 1.6 compatibility, which means it can seamlessly integrate with charging management systems. This is especially useful for commercial setups and fleet operators who need remote monitoring, diagnostics, and control.
We’ve also focused on security and accessibility. With RFID authentication, usage can be controlled and restricted, which is important in shared spaces like apartments, offices, or fleet depots.

From a hardware perspective, it’s compact, wall-mounted, and IP54-rated for safety. It offers 11 kW output, configurable up to 22 kW, making it flexible enough to cater to different charging needs.

Overall, it’s built to be smart, scalable, and user-friendly.


Que: What safety, smart connectivity, or scalability features have been incorporated into the MOBEC EV11 to ensure reliability and user convenience?

Ans: When we designed the MOBEC EV11, safety and reliability were top priorities for us. It comes with an emergency stop button, so in case of any issue, charging can be stopped immediately. We’ve also built in multiple protection mechanisms to ensure safe charging for both the user and the vehicle. Plus, the IP54-rated design means it’s well-protected against dust and water, so it works reliably across different environments.

At the same time, we wanted to make it smart and easy to use. The EV11 is OCPP 1.6 compatible, which allows remote monitoring and control through charging management systems. Users also get real-time updates through a simple LCD display and LED indicators. From a flexibility standpoint, it offers 11 kW output, which can be scaled up to 22 kW depending on the requirement. And with RFID authentication, access can be controlled easily, which is especially useful in shared spaces like apartments, offices, or fleet setups.


Que: In what ways can portable energy storage systems like the NewGen 10 support off-grid operations, emergency power needs, and sustainable event management?

Ans: Portable energy storage systems like the NewGen 10 are designed to bring flexibility and reliability, especially in off-grid scenarios. It delivers 8 kW AC output with around 7–8 hours of backup, which makes it very useful in locations where grid access isn’t available, like construction sites, remote operations, or field deployments. Since it’s plug-and-play and portable, it can be quickly moved and set up wherever power is needed. Plus, with multiple output options, it can support everything from regular appliances to more heavy-duty equipment.

It also plays a very important role in emergency and event scenarios. With a high-capacity battery, it can provide dependable backup during power outages, and built-in safety features ensure smooth and secure operation even in critical situations. For events, it’s a much cleaner alternative to diesel generators, it can easily power lighting, sound systems, and other equipment while being low-noise and energy-efficient. So overall, it not only ensures reliability but also supports more sustainable and environment-friendly operations.


Que: How important will energy storage and decentralised power solutions be in supporting the growth of EV adoption and grid stability?

Ans: Energy storage and decentralised power solutions are going to be absolutely critical as EV adoption scales in India. We’re already seeing strong policy support through initiatives like PM Surya Ghar Yojana, which are encouraging rooftop solar at a household level. When you combine that with energy storage, it creates a very efficient ecosystem where renewable energy can be stored and then used for EV charging.

As EV adoption grows, the pressure on the grid is naturally going to increase, especially during peak hours. This is where decentralised systems really help, they allow energy to be generated, stored, and used locally, reducing the load on the central grid. It also helps balance supply and demand by storing excess energy and using it when charging demand rises.
At the same time, these solutions make it easier to expand charging infrastructure, whether it’s for fleet depots, commercial setups, or even remote locations with limited grid access.

Overall, energy storage and decentralised power will be key to building a more resilient, scalable, and sustainable EV ecosystem in the long run.
