What chargeMOD does

chargeMOD (legal entity: BPM Power Private Limited) is an India-based EV charging infrastructure provider headquartered in Trivandrum, Kerala. The company designs, manufactures, and operates a portfolio of AC and DC chargers branded Blackbox, spanning 3.3kW to 180kW, supported by a cloud-based Charge Management System (CMS) built on the OCPP 1.6 protocol with OCPI-based roaming interoperability. It targets residential, commercial, fleet, and public deployments, and reports operational scale of 10,000+ chargers across 100+ cities with an explicit target of 30,000+ stations by 2026.

The business model combines hardware sales with multiple recurring software and transaction-based revenue streams. Recurring components include CMS subscription fees for site operators, pay-as-you-go charging for end consumers, wallet-based payments, and inter-network roaming fees earned when chargeMOD users charge on partner CPO networks (and vice versa). Go-to-market is anchored on enterprise partnerships with OEMs (Mercedes-Benz India, Ather Energy, MG Motor), infrastructure players (L&T), the state distribution utility (KSEB), and peer charge-point operators (CHARGE ZONE, Statiq, Bolt, Kazam, Pulse Energy, ElectreeFi). On the software side, the company operates a multi-app suite: the chargeMOD consumer app, WorkLine App for fleet operators, CMOD Connect App, and the Alpha RFID card for offline authentication.

The company serves a heterogeneous customer base including individual EV drivers (claimed at 115,000+), fleet operators, hospitality, healthcare, and educational institutions, alongside OEM partners embedding chargeMOD into their customer ecosystems. It was incubated under the Kerala Start-up Mission and is privately held, having disclosed a single $305,063 pre-seed round from Phoenix Angels in July 2023. It currently operates with 51-100 employees and is pre-revenue scale relative to disclosed funding, with revenue figures not publicly available.
