A new app and card for every network
Drivers juggle a separate app, account and RFID card for each operator, sometimes with a yearly card fee, before they can plug in.
Built in Nepal, for Nepal's EV roads
One platform for every charge in Nepal.
Saadhan Charge connects drivers, chargers and charge point operators. Drivers find a free charger, start it with a QR scan and follow the charge live on their lock screen. Operators run their whole network, on any OCPP charger, with pricing as flexible as their business.

The problem
EV charging in Nepal is growing faster than the software behind it.
Stations are opening along every highway, but drivers and operators still work around tools that weren't made for how Nepal charges.
One flat rate, all day
Operators pay NEA peak and off-peak rates, but most systems can only charge drivers one fixed price per kWh.
Electricity bills checked by hand
Matching each station's NEA bill against what drivers paid means spreadsheets, office visits and guesswork.
Stuck charger, someone drives there
Restarting a charger, unlocking a cable or stopping a session often needs a person on site or a laptop at the office.
For drivers
Plug in, scan, and get back to your day.
Everything a driver needs, from finding a free connector to the receipt, in one app for Android and iPhone.
Find a free charger, before you get there
See every station on a map or list with how many connectors are free right now. Filter by connector and power, sort by distance, and check photos, opening hours, amenities, prices and directions.
Start with a QR scan
Scan the code on the charger or tap a free connector. The charge is paid from the driver's wallet, so there's no cash and no queue at the counter.
Live on the lock screen
Battery %, kWh, cost and power on the iPhone lock screen and Dynamic Island, and in an ongoing notification on Android. No need to keep the app open.
Stop at the % you choose
Set a target such as 80%. The app shows the estimated energy, cost and time to get there, and stops the charge for you.
Know when it matters
Push notifications when charging starts, finishes or is interrupted, when a balance runs low, and when a top-up lands. Each one can be switched off.
Every wallet in one place
Balances for each operator's card side by side, plus the Super Card that works across the whole network. Full history with the transaction number of every charge.
English and नेपाली
The whole app in both languages, with Devanagari digits and lakh grouping: रू. १,२३,४५६.५०. Phones and tablets, light and dark.
Live Activity
The charge, right where you look.
Leave the car charging and walk to the tea shop. The lock screen keeps the numbers in view, and the final kWh and cost stay there for half an hour after the charge stops.
For charge point operators
Your network, your rules. We bring the software.
A complete charging station management system (CSMS) on the open OCPP 1.6J standard. Use the web dashboard at the office, or the same app as your drivers when you're on the move.
Remote control from your phone
Start and stop sessions, reset a charger, unlock a stuck cable, clear the charger's cache or take a connector out of service, all without driving to the site.
Staff roles per station
Give each station its own team. Viewers and operators watch and start or stop charges. Station managers run chargers, sessions and analytics, but only at their station.
NEA bill reconciliation
Save each station's NEA meter (office, SC number, consumer ID) once. The platform fetches the electricity bills from NEA for you, ready to set against what drivers paid.
Cards, wallets and customers
Issue RFID cards with expiry dates and notes, add or deduct credit, and see every transaction. Search customers and their sessions in seconds.
Analytics that catch problems
Revenue, energy and sessions per station, charger and connector. Automatic anomaly detection flags odd sessions, and full OCPP logs show what each charger said, and when.
Stations drivers trust
Photos, amenities, opening hours for each day and up to five contacts per station. Everything appears in the driver app the moment you save it.
Exports and settlements
Export sessions for your accountant. Super Card settlements show exactly what is owed to each operator, so there are no end-of-month surprises.
Reach your drivers
Offers and announcements as push notifications and banners on the driver app's home screen, sent with the Saadhan Charge team to the drivers you choose.
A counter screen for every station
On a tablet or iPad, the app becomes a station console: chargers on one side and live sessions on the other, with a sidebar that stays out of the way. Many operators use one at the front desk.
Pricing engine
Price it the way you pay for it.
Your electricity costs change through the day, and your prices can too. Build a plan once, assign it to any connector, and the driver sees the right rate before they start.
Different rates for different hours, to follow NEA's peak and off-peak tariff or to fill quiet hours.
Rs. 1200:00 – 06:00
Rs. 1606:00 – 17:00
Rs. 2017:00 – 22:00
Rs. 1222:00 – 24:00
0006121824
Example rates per kWh. You set your own.
One price per kWh, simple to explain on a sign. Make it the default and every new connector picks it up.
Rs. 16per kWh, all day
Build the price from parts, such as an energy rate plus a service charge, and drivers see the breakdown before they start.
EnergyRs. 14.00
ServiceRs. 2.00
For fleets, partners and special deals: a plan that fits one customer group or one station, on the connectors you choose.
Fleet rateAssigned to DC-01 and DC-02 at EV Park
- Schedule it. Start and end dates, so festival offers switch on and off by themselves.
- Never without a price. A fallback plan takes over when a plan expires.
- Per connector. Charge more for 120 kW DC than for 7 kW AC at the same station.
- Transparent. Drivers see the rate and an estimated cost before they plug in.
Interoperability
One card. Every station on the network.
The Super Card lets drivers charge at any operator on Saadhan Charge from a single balance. Each operator is paid for the energy used on their chargers, and the settlement report shows who is owed what, automatically.
- Drivers top up once, not once per network
- Operators get traffic from every Saadhan driver
- Settlements calculated for you, by operator and period
- Operator cards still work exactly as before
Open by design
Bring any charger. Keep your freedom.
Saadhan Charge speaks OCPP 1.6J, the open protocol used by most charger makers. You're never locked into one hardware brand, and adding a charger is a matter of pointing it at our server.

FAQ
Questions operators ask us.
Which chargers work with Saadhan Charge?
Any charger that supports OCPP 1.6J, which covers most AC and DC chargers sold in Nepal. You set the charger's OCPP server address to ours and it appears in your dashboard with its connectors.
Do I have to change my existing RFID cards?
No. You can keep issuing your own cards with their own balances. Drivers who carry a Super Card can also charge at your stations, and you're settled for that energy.
How does the NEA bill feature work?
Enter the station's NEA office, SC number and consumer ID once. When you ask for a bill, the platform fetches it from NEA in the background and lists it on the station page, so you can compare your electricity cost with your charging revenue.
Can my station staff use it without seeing the whole business?
Yes. Staff are added to one station as a viewer, operator or station manager. They see and control only that station, and never your other sites or company-wide revenue.
Can I set different prices for day and night?
Yes. Time-of-day plans let you set a rate for each part of the day. You can also combine an energy rate with a service charge, schedule a plan for a date range, and pick which connectors use it.
What do drivers need?
The free Saadhan Charge app for Android or iPhone and a mobile number. They sign up with an SMS code, top up a card, and scan the QR code on your charger to start.
