Energy figures are approximate (charger power × time) and depend on your car's onboard charger and battery level. Prices include the NearPlug booking fee.
For hosts
Homes, wedding halls, shops, farmhouses and dhabas across India already have what EV drivers need: a safe socket and a place to park.
The same industrial socket used for geysers and ACs. Have an AC wallbox? You earn more per session.
Your share goes to your own UPI ID through our payment partner after each session — NearPlug never holds it.
Accept or decline each request. Reply BUSY to pause bookings and AVAILABLE to resume, any time.
Every driver’s vehicle is RC-verified, and power starts only after they give you their one-time code.
Safety & trust
Charging at a stranger's home should feel as safe as a cab ride. These rules are built into every booking.
The session only starts when the host enters the 4-digit code you give them after plugging in. No arrival, no charge — and five wrong codes lock the booking for review.
If a host doesn't accept in 90 seconds, your booking moves to the next nearest spot at the same price.
Your payment waits with our payment partner. The host is paid after the session; if nobody accepts, you get it all back.
Grid tripped mid-session? Tap “Report Power Cut” in the chat and pay only for the minutes you charged.
Your arrival window stretches with the drive, so a longer trip never counts as a no-show.
EVs are checked against RTO records, every spot is reviewed before going live, and hosts who miss bookings are flagged.
