In a groundbreaking development for India’s sustainable mobility ecosystem, ThunderPlus and Trinity Cleantech have jointly unveiled the world’s first ethanol-based mobile DC fast charger. The innovation marks a major leap in the integration of renewable energy and clean transportation, setting new benchmarks for eco-friendly EV infrastructure.
This pioneering solution leverages ethanol—a renewable and low-emission fuel—to power DC fast charging units that can be easily transported and deployed across diverse terrains and urban environments. Designed and developed in India, this charger aims to bridge the infrastructure gap in the nation’s rapidly expanding electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem, particularly in remote and underserved regions.
The ethanol-based mobile DC quick charger not only provides on-the-go rapid charging capabilities but also contributes to India’s net-zero and clean fuel goals by reducing dependency on traditional fossil fuels. With mobility at its core, the system enables decentralised charging operations, supporting both passenger and commercial EVs without requiring grid connectivity.
A key highlight of the charger is its ability to deliver high-efficiency power conversion, ensuring fast charging with minimal energy loss. The ethanol engine generates electricity to power the DC charger, offering a sustainable and flexible solution that aligns with India’s Ethanol Blending program and clean fuel transition strategy.
Industry experts have lauded this innovation as a “game changer” for India’s EV sector. The ethanol-based charging model represents a convergence of green energy, mobility innovation, and local manufacturing, accelerating the nation’s path toward an independent and sustainable energy future.
ThunderPlus and Trinity Cleantech plan to scale the deployment of these mobile chargers across India over the next year, focusing on EV fleets, public transportation networks, and highway corridors. The companies are also exploring international collaborations to bring this technology to global markets seeking cleaner charging alternatives.
By combining cutting-edge clean energy solutions with scalable design, ThunderPlus and Trinity Cleantech are reinforcing India’s leadership in EV innovation—transforming how vehicles are powered, charged, and sustained.
