Bolt.Earth Blaze DC 3kW Dual Gun Charger Gets ARAI Certification

On Tuesday, Bolt.Earth announced that its Blaze DC 3kW Dual Gun Charger has received certification from the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI), validating the charger for electric two- and three-wheelers across India. The certification establishes the unit against ARAI safety and performance standards and positions it as the world's first universal fast charger for two- and three-wheelers to achieve this certification benchmark. The charger can provide up to 40 km of driving range in 15 minutes and supports Type 6 and Type 7 connectors, enabling cross-brand operation with vehicles from Ather, Ola, Ultraviolette, and Simple Energy.

The certification also highlights the charger's connectivity and operational capabilities for electric mobility applications. The Blaze DC unit incorporates Wi-Fi and 4G connectivity, supports the OCPP 1.6J protocol, and provides over-the-air update functionality along with remote monitoring. These capabilities are combined with safety measures designed to support reliable charging operation, including short-circuit prevention and emergency shutdown features. The combination of universal connector compatibility, connectivity functions and safety protocols is intended to support everyday electric vehicle users as well as fleet operators and commercial partners requiring a charging solution that can operate across multiple two- and three-wheeler vehicle platforms.

"Blaze DC 3kW Dual Gun is the world's first universal fast charger for 2- and 3-wheelers to clear such a high benchmark of quality and safety, making charging not only universal but certified safe. This ARAI certification reflects our commitment to building intelligent, reliable EV charging infrastructure that everyday users, fleet operators, and commercial partners can trust," said Mohit Yadav, Founder, Bolt.Earth. The certification therefore combines the charger's universal charging capability with formal validation of its safety and performance characteristics. Its Type 6 and Type 7 compatibility, alongside Wi-Fi, 4G, OCPP 1.6J, over-the-air updates and remote monitoring, provides a connected charging platform for compatible electric two- and three-wheeler applications.
