Petrol pumps & highway restaurants
EV charging for highway travellers, with no app to install
People on the highway stop with you for a meal or for fuel, and they will not download a new app for every charger on the way. At your petrol pump or restaurant they scan a QR code, pay by UPI on WhatsApp and start charging.
- No app to download
- Just WhatsApp and UPI
- Money straight to your bank
Why no app
Nobody installs an app for a lunch stop
A highway traveller is with you for an hour or two. They pull in for lunch, dinner or fuel, and then they are back on the road. In that time they want to plug the car in and go and eat, not sit in the car park setting up one more charging app.
Most charging today asks for exactly that: a separate app for each network, a sign-up, and often a wallet to load before the charger will start. On a long route that can mean a different app at every stop. Savekar removes that step completely. The traveller uses the two things already on their phone, WhatsApp and UPI.
It is a short stop
Charging has to start in moments, because the traveller did not come to your site to charge. They came to eat or refuel.
They already have WhatsApp and UPI
Nothing new to install, no account to create and no wallet to load before the first session.
More drivers actually charge
When starting is this easy, a driver who has never heard of you can still plug in and pay.
The usual way
An app for every charger
- A different app at every charging stop on the route
- Download it and sign up before you can start
- Often a wallet to load with money first
- A lot to ask of someone who only stopped for lunch

Four steps, all inside WhatsApp
This is everything a traveller does at your charger. There is no attendant involved and nothing for your staff to explain.

It opens a WhatsApp chat. There is no app to download and no wallet to load.
- 02
Pay by UPI
The driver pays with the UPI app already on their phone.
- 03
Charging starts
The charger starts on its own once the payment is done.
- 04
Bill on WhatsApp
The driver gets the bill in the same chat when the session ends.
For you, the owner
What Savekar does for your charging business
The traveller sees a QR code and a WhatsApp chat. Behind that, Savekar runs the chargers, takes the payments and tells you when something needs attention, so charging becomes a second income from land you already have.
The money comes to you
Payments settle directly to your bank account. You keep 100% of the charging revenue, and Savekar takes no cut of a session.
Run it from your phone
See which chargers are free, in use or stopped, and change your price, from one dashboard or straight from WhatsApp.
Know when a charger stops
You find out a charger is down before a customer has to ring and tell you, so a fault does not quietly cost you a day of sessions.
Drivers can find you
Your station is shared with partner roaming networks, so drivers using those apps see it on their map while planning a stop.
Any OCPP 1.6J charger
AC or DC, any brand. You are never tied to one hardware vendor, and you can add more chargers as demand grows.
No attendant needed
Scan, pay and charge is self-service for the driver, day or night. Your staff stay on the forecourt or in the kitchen.
Built for the two places travellers already stop
The setup is the same in both cases. What changes is why the traveller stopped, and what they do while the car charges.
Petrol pumps
Travellers already stop with you for fuel. Let the ones driving an EV charge just as easily, and keep serving customers as they switch.
- Fast DC chargers for cars passing through
- Self-service payment, so attendants stay on the forecourt
- One screen showing every charger across all your outlets
Highway restaurants & dhabas
Travellers already stop with you for lunch or dinner. Their car can charge in your parking while they eat.
- Drivers charge while they eat
- They pay for charging on WhatsApp, separately from the food bill
- Your charger appears where EV drivers search for a stop

Compare plansQuestions owners ask us
Do drivers need to download an app to charge at my site?
No. A traveller stopping for a meal or fuel will not install a separate app for one charger, so we do not ask them to. They scan the QR code on the charger, WhatsApp opens, they pay by UPI and the charger starts.
How do I get paid?
Every payment goes directly to your own bank account. You keep 100% of the charging revenue, and Savekar takes no per-session cut.
Which chargers can I use?
Any charger that supports OCPP 1.6J, AC or DC, from any brand. You can pick one from our charger catalogue or connect chargers you already have.
Do I need staff to run the charger?
No one has to take payments or start sessions. Charging is self-service for the driver, and you watch every charger from your phone.
How will EV drivers find my petrol pump or restaurant?
Your station is shared with partner roaming networks, so drivers who use those apps see it on their map and can start a session there.
