Guide
EV Charging 101
If you own a property or are thinking about investing in EV charging, this guide covers the basics in plain language: the kinds of chargers, the plugs, how long charging takes, and what matters most when choosing a site.
How EV charging works
An electric vehicle stores energy in its battery, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). A charger delivers power, measured in kilowatts (kW). The more kW a charger delivers, the faster the battery fills, up to the limit the vehicle can accept.
There are two kinds of charging. With AC charging, the charger supplies alternating current and the car's built-in converter turns it into battery power. That converter is small, so AC charging is slower. With DC fast charging, the conversion happens inside a large charger, which sends power straight to the battery. That is much faster, and also much more expensive to install.
The three common types of charger
| Type | Typical power | Adds roughly | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slow AC US: Level 1 · India: home socket | 1.4–3.3 kW | 8–20 km of range per hour | Homes, overnight parking, two-wheelers |
| AC charger US: Level 2 · India: AC Type 2 | 7–22 kW | 40–100 km per hour | Offices, hotels, malls, apartments, fleet depots |
| DC fast charger | 30–350 kW | A 20–80% charge in about 20–60 minutes | Highways, fuel stations, fleet hubs, busy city sites |
Range figures are approximate and depend on the vehicle. Many cars accept AC power at 7–11 kW, even if the charger can supply more.
Connectors: which plug fits which car
| United States | India | |
|---|---|---|
| AC charging | J1772, and increasingly NACS (SAE J3400) | Type 2 |
| DC fast charging | CCS1, with NACS (SAE J3400) now being adopted by most carmakers | CCS2 for cars; some older cars use other plugs |
| Two- and three-wheelers | Not common | Light EV connectors approved by BIS, plus battery swapping |
For a public site, choose equipment with the connectors most local vehicles use. A good supplier will also support the open charging protocol OCPP, so you can change software providers later without replacing hardware.
How long does charging take?
A simple estimate: energy needed divided by charging power.
Car with a 60 kWh battery, charging from 20% to 80% = 36 kWh needed
On a 7.2 kW AC charger: 36 ÷ 7.2 ≈ 5 hours
On a 60 kW DC charger: about 40 minutes, allowing for slowdown near full
Fast charging slows down as the battery fills, which is why most fast-charging sessions stop around 80%.
What matters most for a site owner
- How long people stay. Match the charger to the visit. Shoppers stay one to three hours, which suits AC. Highway travellers want to leave in under an hour, which needs DC.
- Available power. The electricity connection is often the biggest cost and the longest wait. Check your supply capacity early, before choosing equipment.
- Who will charge. Private cars, taxis, delivery fleets, buses and two-wheelers have very different needs and charging habits.
- Visibility and access. Good lighting, clear signs, safe parking and 24-hour access increase use.
- Funding. Government and utility programs can reduce your costs significantly, but each has its own rules, deadlines and paperwork.
Before you buy a chargerAsk for the electricity supply study first. Many projects choose expensive fast chargers, then discover the power upgrade costs more than the equipment.
Not sure what suits your property? We can review your site and tell you what makes sense, at no cost for the first conversation.
India
What makes a good EV charging site in India
India's EV market is growing quickly, and the government has made it much easier to set up public charging. But a charger in the wrong place stays idle. Here is what we look for when we assess a site in India.
1. Start with the vehicles, not the charger
Most electric vehicles on Indian roads are two-wheelers and three-wheelers (e-scooters and e-autos), followed by cars, taxis, delivery fleets and electric buses. Each group charges differently:
- Two- and three-wheelers need low-power chargers or battery-swapping points near markets, auto stands and residential areas.
- Private cars charge mostly at home and work, and use fast chargers on highways and in city centres.
- Taxi and delivery fleets need reliable, fast, affordable charging close to where drivers wait or rest.
- Electric buses charge at depots, where the guidelines call for chargers of at least 240 kW.
2. Choose places where people already stop
The best sites are places where vehicles are parked anyway, for a length of time that matches the charger.
| Location | Typical stay | Good fit |
|---|---|---|
| Highway fuel stations, dhabas and food plazas | 20–45 minutes | DC fast chargers |
| Malls, cinemas, hospitals | 1–3 hours | AC chargers, some DC |
| Offices and IT parks | 6–9 hours | AC chargers |
| Residential societies and apartments | Overnight | AC chargers with separate metering |
| Metro stations, bus depots, municipal parking | Varies | Mixed, often eligible for subsidy |
3. Check the power supply early
The electricity connection from the DISCOM is usually the deciding factor. Before anything else, find out:
- The existing sanctioned load and how much spare capacity there is
- Whether a transformer or HT connection is needed for fast chargers
- The cost and timeline for any upgrade
The Ministry of Power's 2024 guidelines help here. Charging stations can take a separate metered connection with a dedicated EV tariff, sub-metering behind an existing connection is allowed, and DISCOMs face regulator-set penalties for delays in providing connections. Each state also has a State Nodal Agency to coordinate with DISCOMs.
4. Understand the rules that work in your favour
- No licence needed. Setting up and operating a charging station is de-licensed.
- Capped electricity tariff. The supply tariff for charging stations is capped at the average cost of supply, with time-of-day pricing: 0.7 times that rate during solar hours and 1.3 times during non-solar hours. Daytime charging is cheaper.
- Service-charge ceilings. The guidelines set ceiling service charges for public stations until 31 March 2028 (for example ₹11–13 per unit for DC fast charging). Check whether these apply to your site.
- Solar is allowed. Rooftop or on-site solar can lower your running costs.
5. Know the land options
If you do not own suitable land, government and public land can be made available on a revenue-sharing basis. Under the guidelines, the land-owning agency receives ₹1 per kWh of electricity sold, paid quarterly. Private land owners can use a similar model through bidding.
6. Fit into the national coverage plan
The guidelines aim for at least one public charging station in every 1 km × 1 km grid in cities by 2030, stations about every 20 km on both sides of highways and major roads, and fast chargers for long-range and heavy vehicles about every 100 km. Sites that fill gaps in this plan are more likely to find support and steady users.
7. Use the PM E-DRIVE subsidy where you can
The PM E-DRIVE scheme sets aside about ₹2,000 crore for public charging. Under the operational guidelines issued in September 2025:
- Government premises such as offices, hospitals and educational institutions can receive up to 100% support for upstream infrastructure and chargers, if they offer free public access.
- Other public locations such as metro stations, bus depots, municipal parking, toll plazas and state transport hubs can receive up to 80% for upstream infrastructure and 70% for equipment.
- BHEL is the implementing agency and will also run a national app for finding, booking and paying for chargers.
Eligibility, application windows and allocations change, so confirm the current rules before planning around a subsidy.
A quick site checklist
- Which vehicles pass or park here every day?
- How long do they usually stay?
- How much spare electrical capacity is there, and what would an upgrade cost?
- Is the site visible, well lit, safe and open 24 hours?
- Are there toilets, food or shade nearby while people wait?
- Is there a nearby charger already, and is it busy or idle?
- Does the site qualify for PM E-DRIVE or state incentives?
