2. Electricity is not only environment
friendly but also saves cost in
comparison to other available fuels.
Thus, electric vehicles (EV) can
help improve fuel economy, lower
fuel costs, and reduce emissions.

4. ChargingOptions
Type of Charging and Connectors
There are three categories or types of charging: Trickle Charge, AC Charge and DC Charge.
• Trickle Charge: This is slowest method of charging EV at home, using a standard (three-prong) 220V plug. It is only recommended in
urgent cases, with caution and consultation with electricity providers.
• AC Charge: Having a wall box installed lets user charge 3-4 times faster using AC Household Charging than trickle charge.
• DC Charge: The fastest way to charge EV is at a public DC Fast charging station with power from 50kW and above. With this method
one can top up their battery from 20 to 80% in approx. 40 minutes. There are also some ultra-fast charging stations that already provide
more than 150kW.

22. ChallengesofOwninganEVinIndia
Lack of EV charging infra
• One of the most common challenges associated with owning an electric vehicle is range anxiety. Even though EV sales
are seeing an uptick off late, they are being used for intra-city travelling. However, the long-haul travel issue will soon
need to be addressed to increase the utilization limits of fleets and allow people to travel across city limits.
Lack of Standardization
• Currently, in India, all standards are being adopted and this creates a problem with supply of EV charging stations. Most
cars support the CCS/CCS Type 2 charging connector standard; yet some brands follow GBT or Bharat AC/DC 001
standards.
• If the government decides on implementing one standard, then auto OEMs and Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment
(EVSE) providers can focus on the production of just one type of product. This results in faster manufacturing, reduced
lead times and the creation of a standardized charging network system that is compatible with all EVs.
Power infra upgrades
• Most residential users need to determine their sanctioned load, spare capacity, and the power intake requirements of
the EV charger. If there is a mismatch, then they will need to apply for increased load. This costs money.
Lack of service options
• EV has lesser moving parts when compared to an ICE vehicle, but the technology is something our informal service
network has no knowledge. Even though most Auto OEMs have extensive service and dealer networks across India,
their EV Service network is yet to reach a substantial level.
