EV Charging Station
About This Business
Set up an electric vehicle (EV) charging station as India transitions to electric mobility under PM E-DRIVE and aggressive EV adoption targets from major automakers like Tata, Mahindra, and Ola Electric. PM E-DRIVE funds public chargers through state agencies and PSU fuel outlets rather than direct grants to private operators, and demand is surging across cities and highways. Ideal for locations near highways, malls, commercial complexes, residential societies, and metro stations. Investment ranges from 5 to 20 lakh rupees depending on the number of chargers and capacity. Revenue per session combined with high utilisation in metros means payback periods of 2 to 4 years are realistic. Partnerships with state electricity boards or oil marketing companies can simplify regulatory approvals and grid connections.
