ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE IN INDIA

 CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE IN INDIA


A widespread, accessible public charging infrastructure network is needed to support a robust Indian EV market. And a healthy ratio between the number of EVs to charging stations is important to encourage early adopters and relieve drivers of range anxiety.

 A technical committee (part of the state-level EV Steering Committee) recently met in Hyderabad to discuss including provisions to the existing building codes and government regulations to set up charging infrastructure in buildings in Telangana. Administrative Staff College of India (ASCI) and NRDC presented on how to regulate the EV policy and make it easier for the charging service providers and manufacturers to operate. There are a number of considerations when it comes to location and siting, the more specific position within a location, for EV charging stations. These include economics and utilization, maintenance, charger type, and interoperability.

Electric mobility (e-mobility) sector in India is categorized by the availability of Electric Vehicles (EVs) on the supply side and adoption trends on the demand side. Adequate charging infrastructure is the key prerequisite that will define the adoption trends of EVs in India. EVs carry limited onboard energy in the battery packs which need charging from time to time depending upon the battery pack, size, & Capacity
Charging systems are therefore essential for the sustainable operation of EVs. The charging requirement depends not only on the kind of vehicle (two-wheeler, three-wheeler, four-wheeler, and bus) but also on the utility purpose i.e. passenger or commercial. The Government of India has set a target to electrify 70% of all commercial vehicles, 30% of private cars, 40% of buses, and 80% of two-wheeler and three-wheeler sales by 2030. 

The Government of India has been supporting the EV industry through schemes such as FAME1 and FAME2 with a major focus on charging infrastructure. The industry players too have been quite optimistic and shown an active interest in the overall EV Charging ecosystem. While EVs are being worked upon by major OEMs, an ecosystem for the development of chargers, charging stations, and other services are steadily being built.
