As the world accelerates towards a more sustainable future, the electric vehicle (EV) industry is at the forefront of this transformation. However, challenges such as weak grid infrastructure, dependency on fossil fuels, and inconsistent charging reliability continue to hinder widespread EV adoption.
Harmony Boost redefines EV charging by integrating renewable energy, battery storage, and solar technology into one cohesive system. Unlike traditional chargers that rely solely on grid power, it ensures uninterrupted charging performance even under weak or off-grid conditions, making it a robust solution for the evolving EV ecosystem.
In this exclusive interview, with Mr. Priyank Agarwal, Chief Strategic Officer, Exicom, we delve into the groundbreaking innovation behind Harmony Boost, the latest DC fast-charging product line by Exicom. We uncover how it addresses critical challenges, sets itself apart from conventional chargers, and contributes to a net-zero carbon emissions future. Additionally, we’ll explore the unique benefits of its liquid-cooled battery technology and Exicom’s plans to scale this innovation across India, creating a cleaner and more reliable charging infrastructure.

What is Harmony Boost, and how does it work?
Harmony Boost is our latest DC fast-charging product line innovation. Unlike traditional chargers that depend solely on the grid, Harmony Boost integrates a charger, battery, and solar energy system. It uses renewable energy as the primary source for charging the battery, supplemented by the grid when needed. This setup allows stored energy in the battery to provide a power boost during charging sessions, ensuring users get peak capacity even with a limited grid connection. For example, if the charger has a 240-kilowatt capacity but receives only 100 kilowatts from the grid, the battery bridges the gap to meet user demand.
What challenges does Harmony Boost address for EV users and operators?
It tackles three key challenges:
- Weak grid conditions, ensuring consistent charging performance.
- Off-grid conditions, enabling operation through stored renewable energy.
- Dependency on fossil fuel-powered electricity grids by leveraging solar energy as a cleaner alternative.
How is Harmony Boost unique compared to other EV chargers?
Traditional EV chargers rely entirely on grid electricity, rendering them inoperable during outages or low supply. Harmony Boost’s integrated battery storage ensures uninterrupted charging, independent of grid reliability, making it a more robust and versatile solution.
How does Harmony Boost reduce grid dependency and enhance charging reliability?
Harmony Boost prioritizes solar energy, with its battery storing power for later use. Even with a smaller grid connection, the system ensures users receive the required capacity. The battery bridges the gap, ensuring charging reliability regardless of grid energy availability.
What are the benefits of liquid-cooled batteries in Harmony Boost?
Liquid-cooled batteries maintain an optimal temperature during charging and discharging, reducing heat buildup and extending battery life. This cooling technology enhances efficiency and reliability over the battery’s lifespan and ensures consistent performance, especially in demanding environments.

How does Harmony Boost contribute to achieving net-zero carbon emissions, and what are Exicom’s plans for scaling?
Harmony Boost supports net-zero goals by enabling EV charging entirely off-grid using solar energy to power the battery and, subsequently, the vehicles. This eliminates reliance on coal-powered electricity. Exicom has received excellent feedback since the product’s launch and plans to scale installations across India, with a focus on creating widespread impact this year.
