ThunderPlus, a Hyderabad-based EV charging company, has installed a public EV charging station at AIG Hospital in Gachibowli, Hyderabad. The site has a 60 kW DC fast charger and a 7.4 kW AC charger. According to the company, it is open to doctors, nurses, hospital staff, visitors and the general public, and it describes the station as Hyderabad's first public EV charging facility inside a hospital campus. We could not independently verify that "first" claim. ThunderPlus has not yet shared tariffs, connector details, operating hours or a go-live date. Reports on the installation appeared around 10 October 2026.
What ThunderPlus has installed at AIG Hospital
The charging station sits on the campus of AIG Hospital in Gachibowli, one of Hyderabad's busiest medical and IT corridors. ThunderPlus Director Raj Kumar Medimi said hospitals are among the most frequently visited places in a city, with doctors, medical staff, patients and visitors spending long stretches on campus. The company's pitch is simple: put chargers where people already wait or work, so charging fits into the visit rather than adding a separate trip.

Who can use the station
ThunderPlus says the facility is not limited to hospital users. Staff and visitors are the obvious audience, but the company states that members of the public can also charge there. That matters for EV owners in the Gachibowli and Financial District area, because it adds one more public option in a part of the city with heavy daily traffic.
The station is part of ThunderPlus's wider plan to place chargers at everyday-use locations, including places such as hospitals, workplaces, retail spaces and highways.

ThunderPlus's other Hyderabad charging sites
The AIG Hospital station follows a run of Hyderabad launches by the same operator. Based on reports, here is how the AIG Hospital site compares with its recent city sites.
| Site | Reported power | Reported timing |
| AIG Hospital, Gachibowli | 60 kW DC, 7.4 kW AC | Reported October 2026 |
| Prasads IMAX Mall | 120 kW fast charger | Reported 29 September 2026 |
| Bachupally (franchise) | 60 kW fast charger | Reported February 2026 |
| GMR Filling Station, Patancheru (franchise) | 60 kW DC | Reported January 2026 |
| Necklace Road (with South Central Railway) | 120 kW ultra-fast bays, scalable | Earlier launch |
| Sainikpuri Head Post Office | Not specified | Inaugurated 10 September 2024 |
The pattern is clear. ThunderPlus is spreading chargers across malls, railway premises, post offices, fuel stations and now a hospital, with a mix of company-run and franchise sites.

Evfy's Take: what a hospital charger means in real hours
Most public charging stories focus on speed. A hospital site is really about time spent on campus. Here is our own rough arithmetic, so you can judge the value for yourself. These are Evfy calculations, not ThunderPlus figures.
- 7.4 kW AC over a 2-hour visit: up to about 14.8 kWh added at best. Many cars and scooters cannot accept the full 7.4 kW, so real numbers are often lower.
- 60 kW DC over a 45-minute stop: up to about 45 kWh at a constant 60 kW. In practice, most EVs draw less than the charger's maximum and slow down as the battery fills, so treat this as a ceiling.
What this means in practice:
- A 7.4 kW AC unit suits long stays, such as a staff shift or a hospital visit that runs for hours.
- A 60 kW DC unit suits short, quick top-ups, for example a 30 to 45 minute errand.
- Hospital stays are unpredictable. If you are visiting someone, do not plan around charging time. Treat the charger as a bonus, not a schedule.
The part we will be watching is availability. A charger on a busy hospital campus can get blocked by staff cars parked for a full shift. How ThunderPlus handles that, through time limits or idle fees, is not yet known.
Should you plan a charge stop here?
Pros
- Public access, so you do not need a hospital connection to use it
- Both fast DC and slower AC options on one site
- Useful for staff and long-stay visitors who can charge while on campus
Cons
- No tariff, hours or connector details disclosed yet
- A hospital campus is not a place where you can control how long you will stay
- Possible crowding if staff vehicles occupy the bays
Our suggestion: if you live or work around Gachibowli, note the station but verify details before relying on it. If you are on a tight schedule, keep a backup charger on your route.
