In a move that highlights the growing synergy between underutilized real estate and India’s electric vehicle revolution, ThunderPlus has inaugurated a new public EV charging station in Bachupally, Hyderabad. The facility, launched on February 10, 2026, transforms a previously idle plot of land into a vital piece of clean mobility infrastructure, marking the company’s eighth charging station established through its innovative franchise model.
The station was set up in partnership with Manoj, an IT professional who returned from the US and repurposed his unused land into a revenue-generating asset. Located strategically between Bachupally and Bowrampet in the rapidly developing western corridor of Hyderabad, the site addresses a key gap in public charging access for the area’s expanding residential and commercial zones.
At the heart of the new facility is a 60 kW DC fast charger, equipped to serve a wide range of electric vehicles: two-wheelers, three-wheelers, four-wheelers, and light commercial vehicles. This versatile setup ensures quick turnaround times, making it especially convenient for daily commuters, delivery fleets, and small business operators who rely on EVs for their livelihood.
A standout feature of the Bachupally station is its fully public accessibility—no mobile app, membership, or registration is required. EV owners can simply plug in and charge, lowering barriers to adoption and encouraging more people in the region to transition to electric mobility.
ThunderPlus, a Hyderabad-based EV charging solutions provider, has built its expansion around a franchise-led approach that empowers landowners, entrepreneurs, and professionals like Manoj to participate in the EV ecosystem. Franchise partners provide suitable locations (often idle or underutilized plots), while ThunderPlus handles charger installation, branding, grid connectivity, maintenance, user acquisition through partnerships, and operational support. This model has enabled rapid scaling, with the company already operating over 250 active charging stations across India and ambitious plans to add 100 more franchise-based stations in the next six months.
The Bachupally launch exemplifies how idle land can be converted into sustainable income sources while supporting India’s push toward greener transportation. The Bachupally corridor has witnessed significant residential growth, IT corridor extensions, and commercial development in recent years, driving higher EV penetration among two-wheelers and cars. A reliable, fast-charging public hub here reduces range anxiety and supports fleet operators in logistics and last-mile delivery.As Hyderabad positions itself as a major hub for electric mobility—with increasing adoption of e-scooters, e-rickshaws, and passenger EVs—this new ThunderPlus station strengthens the local charging network. It complements other ThunderPlus locations in areas like Patancheru, Secunderabad, and highway corridors, creating a more connected ecosystem for EV users.
ThunderPlus continues to emphasize practical, high-uptime solutions tailored to India’s diverse vehicle mix and urban-rural blend. By turning “waste to watts” through smart repurposing and franchise partnerships, the company is accelerating accessible EV infrastructure—one location at a time.
For EV owners in the Bachupally-Bowrampet area, this new station offers a convenient, no-fuss charging option right where it’s needed most, paving the way for smoother, cleaner commutes in one of Hyderabad’s fastest-growing neighborhoods.
