THE HANDBOOK – INDIAN EV CHARGING STATION
The transition to electric mobility is a promising global strategy for decarbonizing the transport sector. India is among a handful of countries that support the global EV30@30 campaign, which targets to have at least 30% new vehicle sales be electric by 2030. An accessible and robust network of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure is an essential pre-requisite to achieving this ambitious transition.
The Government of India has instituted various enabling policies to promote the development of the charging infrastructure network. However, given the novel characteristics of this new infrastructure type, there is a need to customize it to the unique Indian transport ecosystem and build capacity among stakeholders to support its on-ground expansion.
A contextual approach is needed to ensure the efficient and timely implementation of EV charging infrastructure, such that it meets local requirements and is optimally integrated within the electricity supply and transportation networks.
The Handbook for Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Implementation – Version 1 offers a systematic approach that guides implementing authorities and stakeholders on planning, authorization, and execution of EV charging infrastructure. It presents an overview of the technological and regulatory frameworks and governance structures needed to facilitate EV charging, along with a step-by-step approach to build out the implementation roadmap. While the handbook focuses on the present needs of charging infrastructure development, it also touches upon considerations for future planning.
The primary audience for this handbook include public and private sector stakeholders that are responsible for charging infrastructure implementation, such as electricity distribution companies, municipal corporations, urban development authorities, and charge point solutions providers and operators.
The secondary audience is the regulatory authorities in state and central government agencies responsible for creating an enabling governance framework to support implementation.
The handbook is expected to be a living document, and it will be updated on a periodic basis as the characteristics and needs of the dynamic EV market evolve.
