What challenges are driving India’s electric mobility initiatives?

Today, India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world, but its increasing dependency on oil imports, rising
environmental concerns and growing need for sustainable mobility solutions are posing serious economic and social
challenges for the country.

The following are the key assessments required for
identifying strategic locations for charging stations:
Assessment of demographic aspects and consumer

behaviour
One of the key assessments is that of demographic

aspects. It is the demography of a city that reflects the
acceptance of end users/customers for transitioning to
electric mobility.
The following assessments need to be undertaken to

determine the demographic aspects of a city.
ၔၔ Literacy
► levels of residents and
daily commuters
ၔၔ Economic
► levels to understand the market
for different types of electric vehicles

Assessment of existing transportation system
To understand the availability of dominant mode
of transport in a city, the entire available transport
system needs to be studied. Such an assessment may
help in preparing a transition plan for a city to shift
to electric powertrains. The following assessments
might be required to be done to achieve the intended
objective of reducing vehicular emissions.

Infrastructure assessment for public chargers
Assessment for deployment of public chargers for
private fleet and individual private electric vehicle
owners is essential to boost the transition to electric

Facilitation
Electric mobility initiatives in India, initially, were led by the Ministry of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises (MoHIPE)
who launched National Electric Mobility Mission Plan (NEMMP) in 2013 and Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of
(Hybrid &) Electric Vehicles in India (FAME India) in 2015. Over the years, identifying cross sectoral complex linkages of
electric mobility and achieving a multi-stakeholder development NITI-Aayog was mandated to anchor and coordinate the

Electric mobility proliferation will be a private sector-led development. However, policy and regulatory bodies and city/state governments need to act as facilitators to reduce
the risks of private sector. To increase the uptake of electric mobility market in India, various policy and regulatory initiatives have already been taken. The section below
highlights the policy level recommendations and key regulations instrumental for the uptake of electric mobility in India.

The landmark clarification from the MoP that operations of charging infrastructure is not resale of electricity and hence, beyond the purview of EA 200312 , has paved the
way for participation of private players. Further, CEA has amended regulations to incorporate charging stations. Other than central level regulations supply code, metering
regulations and EA 2003 clearly outlines the procedural requirements for deployment of charging infrastructure. The following table lists the various regulations applicable to

1.1.2. Policy roadmap for electric mobility in California
California has been a trendsetter in the US in environmental reforms. The Government of California has set a target for
5 million zero emission vehicles (ZEVs) on the roads by 2030 and 250,000 electric vehicle charging stations by 2025.
Towards that aim, California is constantly pushing for green mobility through various policy reforms, some of the key
policies are 22:

1.1.4. Role of utilities

Till 2014, California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) prohibited the utility ownership of electric vehicle service
equipment (EVSE), with an exception for charging infrastructure for utilities’ own fleet or vehicles. CPUC acknowledged
certain benefits of utility ownership of the charging infrastructure, but mentioned that the benefits were speculative and
did not outweigh the competitive limitation that may result from utility EVSE ownership. CPUC mentioned to revisit the
prohibition if the utilities provided an evidence of any underserved markets or market failure which may have occurred
due to the prohibition.
In a proceeding consisting of various parties of the power and transport sector, unanimous comments in the favor of
utility ownership of EVSE were received by the CPUC, post which CPUC endorsed an expanded role for utility activity in
developing and supporting EV charging infrastructure. However, CPUC declined to define the extent of involvement of
the utility and decided to evaluate the utility proposals on case-specific basis 25 .
In response to removal of the prohibition, the three investor‐ owned electric utilities (IOUs) of California namely, Southern
California Edison (SCE), San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) and Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) developed
proposals for their individual EVSE deployment pilot programs for CPUC’s approval. The CPUC-approved pilot programs
of the three utilities are as follows:

Time-of-use tariffs apply for EV charging under the SCE distribution circle. The tariff has been defined under three
different rate options:
1. Rate plan 1 (EV load: 0 - 20 kW): TOU tariff design with two separate rate schedules:
ၔၔ Rate schedule 1: does not incorporate demand charges but has higher energy charges than rate schedule 2.
ၔၔ Rate schedule 2: incorporates demand charges and has lower energy charges than rate schedule 1.
2. Rate plan 2 (EV load: 20 - 500 kW): TOU tariff design incorporating demand charges
3. Rate plan 3 (EV load: exceeding 500 kW): TOU tariff design incorporating demand charges

Tariffs under each rate plan have been defined as per the following format:

Japan
1.4.1. Power market in Japan
The electricity sector in Japan was gradually fully liberalized following the 2011 occurred, Great East Japan
Earthquake and the accident at Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO)’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plants.
Japan, before the Fukushima meltdown, relied on nuclear power for 25% of its electricity generation. However, the
country’s entire nuclear power capacity (42GW in total), was gradually shut down in the aftermath of the Fukushima
Daiichi nuclear accident and came to a complete halt in 2013 , .
Since the Fukushima accident, Japan’s energy security remains at a risk. Japan’s dominant reliance on fossil fuel imports
(coal, gas and oil) for 82% of its electricity generation has contributed to a reversal in its trade balance from the 30
years of trade surplus to a deficit that reached US$116 billion in 2014. Seven years after the incident, its challenges are
delineated by sluggish economic growth, a shrinking population and declining electricity demand, down 11.5% from its
2010 peak61 62

In 2017, Japan boosts an EVSE (quick charging points) to EV (electric vehicles) ratio of 0.039. The country's quick
charging points have already crossed the 5,000 mark and are at 5,990 public quick-charge stations. Non-residential slow
charger points are at 17,260 which is just 1% of Japan’s two million slow charger target. In 2016, Japan’s electric car
charging points crossed the number of petrol stations in the country. Japanese car manufacturer, Nissan, reported that
the number of charging points including domestic chargers surged past 40,000 compared to 35,000 petrol stations64.

1.4.3. Policy roadmap for Electric Mobility in Japan
Policy framework has been extensively developed and evolved over the years to support and achieve the target set
by the government. The “Roadmap for EVs and PHVs toward the dissemination of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid
vehicles” set an aim to capture 50% to 70% of next-generation vehicles to total new car sales by 2030. The Government
of Japan established its support as a facilitator in the development process supplying both R&D support and artificially
creating niche markets, and easing the way for targeted technologies by means of legislation and standards67 68, .

Subsidies
Central government, since early 2000, has allocated heavy subsidies for the proliferation of PEVs. The total amount of
the subsidies allocated for a PEV can be upto 60% of the total value of the PEV. Due to the allotted subsidies, a consumer
paid less than half the actual price of the PEV, e.g., a Geely Zhidou costed 49,800 CNY after a subsidy of 109,000 CNY93

To give a further boost to EV demand in India, there is a need for the policy level initiatives to focus on financial and non-
financial incentives. These incentives need to be supported at central, state and city levels. The early adopters will be
primarily from urban areas with major sales coming from the metro cities because of large population and high-incomes.
Hence, city level policies will play an important role in the development of EV ecosystem in India.
To meet this objective, each state has started preparing its policy document for EV. This policy document shall define
clear guidelines, targets and roadmap to all the stakeholders. The policy should incentivize stakeholders (manufacturers,
user, service providers, etc.) across value chains to attract investments in different states.
Some of the key incentives that can be considered by the central and various state governments (if not taken into
consideration) have been covered in the following section:

Fiscal measures
1 GST All All Central • The GST rate for EV may be brought down from 12%.
and state • If the above is not feasible, then state government
may exempt SGST.
2 Road tax All All Central • The road tax should be fully exempted in EV for the
and state first few years.
• The above amendment in Motor Vehicle Act can act
as an enabler.
3 Financing All All Central • Setting up manufacturing units, charging stations
interest rate and RBI and EV purchase can be considered under priority

4 Income tax All Institution Central • The EV buyer can avail accelerated depreciation of
benefits corporates 40% similar to the solar sector
• The EV charging stations can be promoted with solar
or energy storage solutions to avail such benefits.

5 Power tariff All All State Following tariff changes might be adopted by India:
• Relaxing the additional fixed/demand charges

coming from EVs for all connection categories. This
could be time bound for the first five years and on
evaluation, it can be extended further.
• For (not-for-profit) home and office/work charging,
allowing an option to move to three-phase
connection with TOD tariff or continue with the
same tariff category.

• For (profit) commercial EV charging or EV leasing as
a service (with some minimum number of chargers
or kW load), allowing new separate meter under
new EV tariff category. This tariff category to be
kept competitive like Delhi order of fixed 5 and
5.5 INR/kWh for LT and HT connections. Keeping
this tariff tied to average cost of supply (ACoS) of
Discoms and allowing maximum loading of 10%-15%
for AT&C losses could be a good way for all states to
support.
• Also allowing such businesses to mark up their
charging services prices (including electricity) at
market rates
• Allowing such businesses to opt for an easy
open access (if meeting minimum kW load
requirements).
6 Toll All All State • This can be exempted for EV buyers till year

10 2W/3W 2W/3W Commercial Central • Motor Vehicle Act may be amended to allow 2W
taxi and state and 3W as fleet/taxi business and allow corporate
ownership.
11 Green All All Central • The green plates can be given to EV buyers. Some
plates EVs (cars, buses) with green plates could be given
access to dedicated lanes and parking areas.
In addition to the policy level initiatives, regulatory level push is also critical to address the barriers faced by stakeholders
at each step of the e-mobility value chain. The next section identifies current regulations regarding e-mobility space
in India.

EVSE classification
Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) is an equipment or a combination of equipment providing dedicated
functions to supply electric energy from a fixed electrical installation or supply network to an EV for the purpose of
charging. There are different ways to classify an EVSE depending on power supply (AC or DC), power rating levels,
speed of charging and communication and connector type. The sections below give a brief about each of
these classifications.

In case of an AC EVSE, the vehicle has an on-board charger that converts AC into the DC first. An AC EVSE comes in
different power ratings ranging from 3.3 kW to 43 kW. A DC EVSE is able to supply higher power rating ranging from 10
kW to 240+ kW.

3.1.3. By EVSE power rating – levels 1, 2, 3
AC and DC chargers come with different power ratings and accordingly are classified into Level-1, Level-2, and Level-3.
These level definitions are different for AC and DC chargers as shown in table below:
Table 34: Power ratings of chargers136
AC chargers DC chargers
Level 1 120V single phase AC up to 1.9 kW (up to 16A) 200-450V DC up to 36 kW (up to 80A)

Global EVSE related Standards

Standardization have been a key consideration for increasing uptake of electric vehicles in global markets. Various
standardization bodies have identified key global standards regarding overall safety for charging station, EVSE
safety, AC/ DC charging connector, EV- EVSE communication protocols and Vehicle to Grid (V2G). Brief description

5.3.1. EVs adoption and mix
EVs adoption is likely to be higher in public/fleet vehicles, including in buses, three-wheeler autos and fleet cars. Fleet
vehicles’ higher kilometers run per year and daily certainty in travelled distances, makes EV economics better viable
over other personal vehicle segments (including personal two-wheelers and four-wheeler cars). Nearly 2030 all-India
estimates on EV mix and adoption across different vehicle segments are shared below:

assumptions are aggressive with early, faster and higher adoption rate, which seems unlikely, given the current level of
EV supply chain and policy readiness in India. Hence Scenario-2, a medium optimistic scenario is modelled and results
shared in below analysis. This modelled Scenario-2 gives 33% EV mix of total stock in 2030 with 9.18 lakhs EVs on road
then. Morgan Stanley research assumed this number at all-India level to be 15%206 , which supports higher mix at fast
growing Tier-2 Nagpur.

model over years, while personal vehicles are likely to see an increased use of range extension batteries, both driven by
establishment of successful operational and economical battery swapping models in India. Of the total EV stock on road
in 2030, it is assumed that 64% EVs shall have integrated LIBs, 8% swapping only and 29% with range extension

Swapping batteries: these batteries can be swapped at a swapping station by replacing a discharged battery with a charged one. The vehicles therefore do not need to be fast-charged or

have very large batteries. Here, the battery can be separated from the vehicle and will not be owned by the vehicle owner. Instead it will be owned by an energy operator (provider of charged
battery as a service), who will buy the batteries, charge them and lease it to the vehicle owners at convenient charge-cum-swap centre.
Range extension batteries: a normal integrated LIB gets charged every night. But since the battery is small, the range will not be large. Since most personal vehicles drive small distance

in India in a day, this small range may be acceptable on 90% to 95% of the days. But for the remaining 5% to 10%, this could cause a problem. Instead of using fast-charger and face with

Key assessments required for

developing the implementation plan
For an effective roll-out of electric mobility program in a city, several assessments need to be done to determine the
ease of deployment and prepare a transition plan. As per several stakeholder interactions and secondary research
done during the study, a list of such assessments was made that could help an implementing agency develop a plan
before the roll-out of electric mobility deployment programs.

Electric mobility is expected to be a city-led development wherein various city-level stakeholders will collaborate
to reduce risks (such as land availability) through viable and sustainable business models. An ideal city-level
implementation plan shall be based on a phase-wise approach of procurement factoring in techno-commercial
considerations specific to the city.
Implementation plan needs to factor in the following critical areas:
1. Route planning and electric load analysis at feeder level for identifying strategic locations.
2. Assessment of transport infrastructure.
3. Viability analysis to structure pilots and explore options for PPP models.
Accordingly, there is a need to develop a detailed DPR and a detailed implementation plan factoring in phase-wise
adoption targets, CAPEX requirements and infrastructure augmentation assessments for both transport and power.
This shall also include learnings from use cases such as pilot programs run in other parts of the country and globally.

1. The mandate of framing new standards has been given to Secretary, DST who will through support of BIS will frame IS
standards.
2. As discussed the IEC standards needs to be tweaked for Indian conditions such as ambient temperature range of 0 to 50 deg.
Cel.
3. The directive to frame new standards similar to GB/T, CHAdeMO, CCS has come from NITI Aayog with rationale of having
Indian specific standards to meet domestic market and planning to have everything "Make in India"
4. For public heavy vehicles such as intra-city electric buses, India is looking to "Opportunity Charging" as well as swapping
5. Committees are being formed to take global perspectives so that the standards developed will form a level playing field for all
the OEMs
6. It was also discussed that DHI specifications for Bharat Chargers as well as AIS standards developed by ARAI are not
traceable and hence will be eventually dropped.
7. Ather, an electric 2 wheeler manufacturing start-up has developed an AC & DC combo connector for 2 wheelers which they
can open for adoption by India

1. Government is planning to prepare new IS standards
2. Though govt. was interested in CCS but still is not ready to adopt it
3. Most of the OEMs comply with CCS while a few such as Honda, Mitsubishi, Peugeot support both CCS and CHAdeMO
standards
4. GB/T is followed by Chinese manufacturers
5. Bharat Charger Standards are not for 2 wheeler & 3 wheelers though being a standard below 100VDC
6. A slow charger for car could be a fast charger for 2 & 3 wheelers is a misnomer as a 2 & 3 wheeler will not have circuitry
capable to handle the rated power of a charger. It will only absorb as per the load connected to charger i.e. the vehicle itself
with its own circuit characteristics.
7. There is no global standards for chargers below 120 VDC
8. Currently most 2 Wheeler and 3 Wheeler manufacturers use lead acid batteries which cannot be fast charged due to
constraints in chemistry
9. Even in conditions of high ambient temperature BMS will not allow the charger to charger EV at faster rate which was also the
case with OLA's Nagpur pilot. So, how fast an EV will charger shall also depend on thermal management of battery
10. In India CharIn is looking for CCS standards below 100VDC for 2 Wheelers and 3 Wheelers

such as electric vehicles and storage solutions.
2. Exicom has supplied over 600MWh of Li-ion batteries mostly for telecom infrastructure
3. Exicom intends to establish 1GWh of Li-ion battery assembly unit
4. As per recent meetings, it has been confirmed that India is looking forward to bring in a 4th Standard for EVSE. Other three
being CCS, CHAdeMO and GB/T
5. It has been mentioned that the instruction has come from NITI Aayog for developing a new IS standard for EVSE.
6. Exicom is ready to adapt to any standard and currently is complying to Bharat Charger Specs and in process of development
of CCS chargers
7. It was also informed that Exicom is a member of standardization committee for EVSEs
8. The EESL tender has witnessed 14 participants and Exicom was allotted to supply 125 chargers to be installed at govt.
buildings in Delhi-NCR
9. Other manufacturers don’t have products ready as most of them being MNC’s don’t have chargers of ratings below 100 VDC.
10. Delta, RRT, BHEL Mastech were a few competitors in the tender
11. Due to discussions of a new standard for EVSE, industry has lost clarity of which way to move forward and align their
supply chains
12. Most of the components used in EVSEs of Exicom are domestically manufactured and use advanced circuit components such
as IGBTs while its competitors are still relying on MOSFET
13. Certain components such as connectors needs to be imported as they comply to certain standards such as GB/T for DC-001
which is a Chinese standard and not manufactured in India

Participants EY:
► • Mr.
► Kaustuv Mohapatra
• Mr.
► Tanmay Nag
• Mr.
► Raghav Bhasin
P-Manifold:
• Mr.
► Rahul Bagdia
Points from BSES’s meeting with Ministry of Power -
1. Upon the role of discom in charging infrastructure, BSES suggested to MoP that prior permission to establish charging station
involving technical feasibility should be taken from discoms.
2. MoP is considering an initial one year charging infrastructure deployment through PSUs -
a. 10 cities (population > 4 Million) – 1200 charging stations
b. 1 charging station at every 3-4 km
c. INR 240 Cr investment
3. MoP is considering to put an upper cap on the price which discom will levy from the charging station.
Points from EY’s discussion with BSES -
1. DERC has extended ToD for all consumers except single phase domestic consumers -
2. ToD slabs are applicable in the following slots-
a. Peak time :13:00 to 17:00 & 22:00 to 1:00 – 20% surcharge

b. Off Peak : 3:00 to 9:00 – 20% rebate
• V2G without ancillary services has no benefit to the consumer
3. Because of solar uptake, smart bidirectional meters have been installed even though they are in miniscule percentage
3
0
4. BSES has requested CEA to include the parameters of communication link in their report, this will help BSES to identify the
increasing load.
5. Earlier BSES used to depreciate a capex over 12 years, and it used to take close to 12 years for asset recovery. But now, assets
are getting redundant in 4 years and BSES/DISCOMs don’t have a long time frame. Network needs to be
upgraded regularly.
6. Following questions were posed -
a. EV usage is random and dynamic, so will early network recovery be possible?
b. Regulator should permit to socialize the cost if DISCOMs have to recover sooner. Due to this non-EV users will see impact in
their tariffs

c. The load will be at 6% load factor in terms of energy demand but to cater to that there’ll be an addition of 26-27% to network
upgrade. Now, how the differential will be recovered?
7. There can be no fixed charges for EVs and single point delivery system.
8. Losses in residential are observed to be higher compared to industries because of distribution and localization.
9. DERC Public charging tariff for EV is incentivized at INR 5.5/KWh. Personal home charging is as per the home tariff.
10. BSES has recommended to update supply codes as per EVs
Q&A-
1. What significant patterns in load growth have been observed in the past few years?
1.1. AC has significant impact but it is covered below 4%
1.2. Solar penetration is reducing load. BSES has done 600 installations, 21 MW and another 20 MW is in pipeline.
2. Any benchmarks on power infrastructure investments in NEP or other govt. documents to act as guideline to plan EV related
grid expansion?
2.1. Not aware of such guidelines on BSES, but Govt. is quantifying in Uday scheme certain specific investments to be made.
Input distribution franchise will need to invest based on CAPEX.
3. What changes envisaged in providing new connections for charging to following types of customers – meter, tariff, connected
load, supply point, DT limits etc.
3.1. Smart Meter and V2G:
3.1.1. Development of ancillary services is crucial and will provide advantage to the consumer.
3.1.2. Because of solar uptake, smart bidirectional meters have been installed even though they are in miniscule percentage.
3.2. Compatibility of currently procured smart meters with EVs?
3.2.1. EESL’s initial tender was for 2G meters which they revised to 3G with dual (2G & 3G) compatibility. Success of the meters
is yet to be determined
3.2.2. Problems are arising with the integration to the cloud platform
3.2.3. Smart Meters have two ledgers export and import which need to be enabled for V2G.
3.3.Charging network companies are pricing their analytical platforms exorbitantly equal to the electricity rate which should
be capped. DISCOMs need real time Overloading/under loading data which network providers cannot provide, they are more
customer centric.
3.4. If charging mandate is declared as service then BSES is ready to tie up in long term contract with land owner and will
provide operation and technical support. Chargers will be procured from empaneled vendors.
3.4.1. Revenue sharing will depend on the footfall
3.4.2. Income from this source will be considered as Non-tariff income.
3.4.3. Priority 1: Charging station assets to be capitalized. Comments by stakeholders is that it is not a level playing field.
3.4.4. Priority 2: If it is owing to the conventional business then 60 % profit will be passed on ARR and 40 % can be retained.
3.4.5. Priority 3: Land owner takes connection from DISCOMs and DISCOMs performs O&M. 40 % profit will be passed on ARR
and 60 % can be retained.
3.4.6. If charging station is not considered as services then BSES will be interested in 100% capitalization.
4. Whether need felt for separate feeders for EV charging – what different characteristics and SLAs?
4.1. No need is felt. Will be managed on a case to case basis
5. What POV on tariff structure for HHs for self-charging at homes – ToD (kVAh vs. kWh), smart meter, etc.
5.1. There should be a shift from ToD to ToU. This will enable decision making with respect to local grid. ToU enablers are CMS
(central monitoring system) and Smart meters.

1. Bharat Charger Standards are not mature considering non-standard connector such as IEC 60309 which has not been used
anywhere in the world and is not designed for the intended purpose
2. Standards of Bharat Charger prescribe a locking mechanism that is not provided by IEC 60309 connector
3. No. of output charging point should not be fixed such as has been fixed to be three in case of AC001
4. Connector for 3.3 KW output of DC001 is yet not defined
5. DHI notification of 13 March 2018 suggests multiple standards
6. Either India should follow one global standard or derive from one from them
7. If the Indian market continues with the multiple standards, in next 10 years there will be inter-operability issues. This
situation will be similar to what cellphone users faced for incompatible chargers during late 90s. The automobile OEMs would
have to play important role in setting up charging stations to facilitate the sale of their EVs.
8. IEC 62196 Type 2 is a better solution as connector for 3 wheelers and 4 wheelers
9. CCS Combo Type 2 should be adopted for fast charging of 4 wheelers and CHAdeMO for heavy vehicles
10. ACME is looking to manufacture both AC&DC chargers
11. 50% domestic content requirement should be adequate
12. ISO 15118 is an international standard defining a vehicle to grid (V2G) communication interface for bi-directional charging/
discharging of electric vehicles which should be adopted by India.

a. Global review of the electric mobility study
b. Key initiatives by Govt. of India to develop the sector
c. mpact assessment of electric mobility
d. Business models developed by the EY team
2. DERC has mandate to decide the tariff for EV charging.
3. Points on Standards:
a. Developing new standards for EV charging is not necessary
b. The decision to choose a standard should be with the installer of the charger.
c. Govt. should take a neutral stand on the standards and let market forces decide.
4. Main issue with charging infrastructure is the availability of the land
5. Initial deployment of charging infrastructure should not be considered as a profit motive but rather to build market and get
customers used to the e-mobility.
6. DERC initially focused on E-rickshaws as they were presently operating in Delhi in around 1-1.5 Lakhs in number. DERC suggested
that initially chargers should be placed in locations where currently E-rickshaws are available. DERC gave the following statistics -
a. Each e-rickshaw uses 7 units/day
b. For 1.5 Lakh rickshaws it is ~ 1 million units
c. This load is present and is not straining the system
d. Total loss estimated to discoms through e-rickshaw’s electricity theft is around 200 cr.

7. DERC has observed that public sector authorities are reluctant to give land for chargers without financial motives.
8. E-mobility can learn from telecom, dish TV or cab aggregator models as they initially offered heavy discounts and low tariffs to
create a market demand.
9. Member planning DERC stated that he would prefer to have a portable charger in the car than to go a few Kms for charging. At
the end of day people will shift to EVs if they’ll get easy access mobility and better accessibility.
10. Traffic conditions should be taken into the performance and range of a battery as EVs will operate in urban areas.
11. Discoms will gain by reducing commercial losses.
12. Separate charger for separate vehicle category should be defined
13. There should a uniform tariff structure across the country
14. In Delhi all meters are ToD enabled just needs to be programmed
15. Blended tariff is at 5-5.5INR
16. Taxes should be put on petrol/diesel vehicles rather than imposing heavy taxes on HEV

• Mr.
► Tanmay Nag
1. Power grid is currently working in the following locations on charging infrastructure projects:
a. Hyderabad – Deploying chargers on the metro corridor with L&T and Hyderabad metro rail corporation (HMRC)
• PGXCIL will own and operate the stations
• PGCIL has adopted a lease model and HMRC may give land free for 2 years
b. Chennai
c. Delhi
d. Kochi
e. Gurgaon – Project is in collaboration with IOCL and DMRC following a revenue sharing model
f. Mumbai-Pune corridor
g. Bhubaneshwar-Puri corridor
2. PGCIL has categorized real estate for charging infrastructure projects as per the following three categories:
a. Barren Land – type of land without basic construction and amenities. The lease expense for such a land shall be: 30 /₹ sq. feet
b. Built up land – areas such as parking with basic construction but little or no basic amenities like electricity, water etc. The lease
expense for such a land shall be: 70-80 /₹ sq. feet
c. Super built-up land – Area like metro parking where there is easy access to electricity and other amenities. The lease expense
for such a land shall be:100-130 /₹ sq. feet
d. Basements - As per the CEA safety regulations, basements are not preferred to install EV chargers. This is primarily due to
the water clogging conditions.
3. It is necessary to implement differential tariff for following reasons-
a. Personal EV owners are expected to most likely charge their vehicles at night.
b. ‘Time of use’ regime for EV charging can help balancing the load curve during peak and off peak hours.
c. A low differential pricing in low footfall areas will enable the traffic density to shift from high pricing in high footfall areas.

4. EV charging is ideally suited for maximizing capacity utilization from renewable (solar) energy plants. Peak load from such plants
can be utilized effectively through EV charging.
5. BOOT model is not expected to be viable due to high electric infrastructure costs.
6. Vehicle to Grid:
a. V2G implementation without government incentives will be difficult. This is primarily because EV users will need to install a
separate ₹ 30,000-40,000/- costing meter to enable V2G.
b. One thought is to sell V2G enabling devices along with the vehicle itself.
7. Standards:
a. It is better to adopt international standards as it promotes interoperability.
b. Moreover, most of our car makers in India are international players supporting international standards.
c. CEA has almost mandated CCS standards.
8. Collaboration:
a. PGCIL is actively exploring collaboration opportunities. They are in discussions with various STUs, Oil & Gas players, Discoms,
Railways, Airport authorities, Municipalities etc. to build charging infrastructure.
b. PGCIL is only working with public sector entities and has not been approached for any public private partnership.
c. With Smart E, PGCIL has suggested to buy batteries with almost 50: 50 cost split.
9. Public EV charging stations should be adopted to deal with real world parking issues, like that observed in CNG stations.
10. Revenue sharing between various business entities will depend upon the locations of deployment. Factors like land will be a major
determinant.
11. The current EV charging market is observed to be about interest rather than business value.
12. Tariff charged to user should be a factor of parking, service, lease and electricity costs.
13. Electrical infrastructure is a major cost component of the charging infrastructure, with component such as –
a. 11 kV or 33 kV line
b. Transformer
c. Small substation etc.
14. Metro authorities use two kinds of electrical connections –
a. Primary line (25kV) – Used for train operation
b. Auxiliary line – This will be used for EV charging
15. MoP should consider amendment in the Electricity act regarding EV operations. Act should specify EV charging is not trading and
should allow EV charging without a license.
16. Points on Model:
a. It will be difficult to differentiate between an EV load and other loads, unless to install a separate meter for EV.
b. PGCIL was skeptical on the validity of preferential tariff and its implementation.
c. Government should consider tax free lease for EV charging. When no subsidy is considered for electric mobility then tax
should be waived off to reduce costs.
d. Consider3

g. Model should include shared manpower costs.
h. Since model’s accounted capex is low we should take into account other additional costs such as fire extinguisher costs,
lights, water supply etc.
17. i. Site construction costs should be accounted into the model like shed, tiles, roof etc.

c. Overview of electric mobility landscape in India
2. Discussion was based on the adoption and feasibility of charging infrastructure in Lucknow
3. It was deliberated that different charging solutions needs to be developed for different kinds of vehicles
4. MVVNL recommended that charging infrastructure needs to be established around the city to cater to the issue of range
anxiety
5. It was deliberated that private vehicle will mostly charge at home, hence such a pattern needs to be studied and will be
important for the discom
6. Land was identified as a challenge for the uptake of charging infrastructure and it was recommended that new ecosystems
needs to be developed for electric mobility. MVVNL recommended that substation land is an ideal location to install chargers.
7. It was further deliberated that swapping as a solution would emerge soon and is ideal for light vehicles such as e-rickshaws
and 2-wheelers

1. EY team presented the following to UPNEDA -
a. Overview of the scope of the study being conducted with BEE
b. Parameters being assessed in Lucknow city level assessment
c. Overview of electric mobility landscape in India
2. It was deliberated that to solve the chicken and egg issue of chargers and vehicles, available and accessible charging stations
shall be adopted before electric vehicles.
3. Alliances on the supply side to ensure supply of appropriate EVs and charging infrastructure facilities, a city level
collaborative effort on the facilitation side and awareness creation about electric mobility on the demand side are the three
necessary factors to enable the ecosystem.
4. To set up charging stations, availability of accessible land is a major hurdle, which can only be solved by a collaborative
approach of the city level stakeholders such as the urban, transport and power utilities.
5. Further, city level administrations should facilitate by conducting assessments such as location, feasibility and technology
assessments to address needs, gaps and develop a structured roadmap to deploy electric mobility. Please find attached a
presentation on city level perspective highlighting the assessments.
6. It was deliberated that every Indian state will have different mobility and infrastructure requirements and hence considering
no size fits all approach, customised policies at a state level is more appropriate than at a national level.
7. Authorities should look beyond the present higher upfront costs of an EV and should focus on entire life cycle/operational
feasibility3

1 of an EV compared to an ICE vehicle.
8. The total cost of ownership of an EV is very low by the virtue of its lower maintenance and cheap electricity for charging.
Hence, with a lifecycle approach, an EV is feasible, sustainable and efficient compared to an ICE vehicle. This can be proven
with an observation of rapid uptake of EVs in fleet businesses.
