Nikol EV Success Story featuring Kazam
As the world pivots towards sustainable energy solutions, electric vehicles (EVs) are at the forefront of this transformation. However, the adoption of EVs in regions like India hinges heavily on accessible and reliable charging infrastructure. Nikol EV, a company founded by Arjun Pawar in 2021, recognized this gap and set out to bridge it. With the help of Kazam’s advanced charging stations, Charging Management Software (CMS), and white-labeled applications, Nikol EV is revolutionizing how EV users interact with charging networks.
Nikol EV: A Journey from Vision to Reality
Arjun Pawar, who also founded EVDunia, an online portal dedicated to EV industry news, realized that infrastructure was a primary concern for potential EV buyers. He states, "The mindset of the EV consumer was clear—”if the infrastructure exists, we’ll buy EVs." This realization led him to establish Nikol EV, aiming to create an efficient and accessible charging network across India.
In 2021, Nikol EV installed its first charging station, marking the beginning of its journey. Over time, as the network expanded, the challenges of managing the charging stations and addressing customer issues became apparent.
Challenges in Charging Infrastructure Management
Initially, Nikol EV faced significant hurdles in understanding and resolving customer issues across its growing network. Without a unified platform to track station activity, the team struggled to manage operations effectively. This was when Pawar connected with Akshay, the co-founder of Kazam, who introduced him to a Kazam’s comprehensive software and hardware solution.

The Nikol EV mobile app, developed with Kazam’s white-labeled solution, offers customers seamless functionality. Users can locate nearby chargers, start charging with a single click, and monitor charging sessions in real-time. "The best thing about the application was the user interface and the accessibility to start charging within a minute," Pawar noted.
Comprehensive Charging Management Software (CMS)
Kazam’s CMS allows Nikol EV to monitor and control operations across all their stations. From tracking session data to resolving customer complaints, the dashboard provided end-to-end visibility. "The CMS clarified consumption and performance at every station," Pawar said.

Nikol EV adopted Kazam’s charging hardware, including fast and slow chargers. These chargers, operational for over 12 hours daily, have demonstrated exceptional reliability with no incidents of overheating or malfunctions. "We’ve installed these chargers in locations with heavy usage, and they’ve exceeded expectations in performance and durability," said Pawar.

Kazam’s white-labeled app has strengthened Nikol EV’s brand presence by offering customers a tailored experience. The app integrates Nikol EV’s branding while maintaining a streamlined user experience. "Our customers appreciate the one-click functionality and ease of use, making charging sessions smooth and hassle-free," Pawar shared.
