The Rise of EV Travel in Northeast India — And the Charging Problem Nobody Talks About
Electric vehicles are no longer a rarity on Indian roads. From busy city commuters to adventure-hungry road trippers, EV owners are taking their Ather scooters, Ola Electric bikes, Tata Nexon EVs, MG ZS EVs, BYD Attо 3s and Hyundai Konas across state highways and tourist destinations. Northeast India — with its stunning national parks, tea gardens, hill stations and river islands — is increasingly popular with EV travellers.
But here is the challenge every EV road tripper in India faces: range anxiety. The fear of running out of charge in the middle of a highway, far from a charging point. In major metros, charging infrastructure is growing fast. But on the highways connecting Guwahati to Shillong, Kaziranga, Majuli or Tezpur, reliable EV charging stations are still few and far between.
That is exactly why we built our EV charging facility at Palaash Bon, Garchuk, Guwahati — to give EV travellers a dependable, comfortable charging stop right on the National Highway.
Our EV Charging Station: What We Offer
We understand that different EV owners have different needs. Whether you are riding an Ather 450X, driving a Tata Nexon EV, or operating an e-rickshaw — we have a charger for you.
⚡ Fast Charger for Ather Bikes & Electric Scooters
Ather Energy’s fast-charging network is expanding across India, but highway gaps remain a pain point for Ather 450X and Ather 450 Plus riders. Our dedicated fast charger for Ather bikes is one of the rare charging options available on this stretch of the National Highway near Guwahati. Stop in, top up your battery to 80% in roughly 50–60 minutes, and be back on the road refreshed and charged.
Compatible with: Ather 450X, Ather 450 Plus, and Ather 450S
⚡ Fast Charger for Electric Cars
Travelling from Guwahati to Shillong, Kaziranga or Tezpur in your EV car? Our DC fast charger for electric cars significantly cuts down your charging time compared to a standard AC charger. Whether you drive a Tata Nexon EV, Tata Tiago EV, MG ZS EV, Hyundai Kona Electric, BYD Atto 3 or any other EV car, our fast charger gets you back on the highway faster.
Long road trips no longer have to mean range anxiety. Plan your charging stop at Palaash Bon and enjoy a hot meal while your car charges.
🔌 Slow Charger for 2-Wheelers, 3-Wheelers & 4-Wheelers
Not every EV needs a fast charge. If you are staying overnight at our guest rooms or spending a couple of hours at our café, our slow AC charger is ideal. It is suitable for electric 2-wheelers, electric 3-wheelers (e-rickshaws, e-autos) and 4-wheelers. A slow overnight charge often gives you a fuller battery than a quick top-up — and it is gentler on your battery cells too.
Suitable for: Any electric 2-wheeler (Ola S1, Hero Vida, TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak, Revolt, etc.), electric 3-wheelers, and all standard EV cars

Whether you want a steaming cup of Assam tea, a strong filter coffee, a light snack or a full home-cooked meal, our café has you covered. We serve fresh, home-style food at ₹200/person — making it one of the most affordable and satisfying meal stops on the National Highway near Guwahati.

Plan Your EV Journey Through Guwahati: Suggested Routes & Charging Stops
Route 1: Guwahati → Kaziranga (via NH-27)
