EV charging in Coimbatore
Coimbatore is an industrial city with lots of EV interest, and the gateway to the Nilgiris, the Isha Yoga Centre and the Kerala border. Hill roads up to Ooty are hard on range, so a full battery before you climb matters.
Where a charge helps in Coimbatore
Isha Yoga Centre (Adiyogi)
Visits at the Velliangiri foothills usually last several hours.

How booking works
- Say Hi on WhatsApp and send your EV registration number once — we check it against RTO records.
- Share your location. You'll see verified spots within 30 km of Coimbatore, nearest first, with each host's rating.
- Request a spot. The host has 5 minutes to accept. If they can't, we suggest up to 3 other spots nearby and ask them all at once.
- Pay by UPI after a host accepts, then get the exact address, gate notes and your start OTP. The timer starts when the host enters your code.
