chargeNET

chargeNET is an electric vehicle charging network and technology company founded in 2015 in Colombo, Sri Lanka, formed to address the shortage of reliable charging infrastructure as EV adoption began to grow in the country. It designs, manufactures and operates charging equipment engineered locally by a Sri Lankan team, aiming to make EV charging accessible for individual drivers as well as businesses and property owners across the island.

The company operates a network of chargers positioned in cities and along inter-city routes, managed through a cloud platform with remote monitoring and OCPP-based interoperability. Corporate and government partners can license the platform to run branded charging stations at their own properties, while a mobile app lets drivers locate stations, start sessions and pay. Customers include property managers, fleet operators, hospitality businesses and government agencies in Sri Lanka, with the company also pursuing expansion into other markets.
