PART-B OUTCOME

1.0 Brief Description

____________________________________________________
EV charging station, repair workshop and home charging station set up is
undoubtedly a great proposal. Electric vehicle (EV) charging companies are
mushrooming ceaselessly. With the increased awareness about the environment
and the introduction of electric vehicles (including e-cars and e-scooters), electric
vehicle charging stations are on the list of top business opportunities in India for
the decade. Likewise opening a petrol pump or starting a biofuel station has an
endless and everlasting business scope in India as well as across the globe, EV
charge stations are on their trail of capturing the global market in the upcoming
years.

What does an EV charging station do?

First of all, let's clarify the services provided by an EV charge station. You might
have seen electric two-wheelers, cars, and e-rickshaws running on the city roads.
But from where these vehicles get themselves charged? Some people charge their
e-vehicles at home. Like in the case of Tata Nexon EV, the company itself installs
the charging set-up at home without charging any additional fees. But all
establishments don't have a dedicated charging point at the parking lot with
required essential security features. A number of charging stations are required to
provide on-road charging services.

Cost of setting up an EV charge station:

The cost of starting an EV charging station is very low as compared to other

business set-ups. The government of India has declared that no license is required
for setting EV charging infrastructure, provided that it complies with the standards
as laid down by the 'Ministry of Power'. Thus, no separate license is required for
transmitting, distributing, or trading electricity for the purpose of charging batteries
of electric vehicles Thus, the cost of starting EV charge stations includes only set
up cost which consists of the cost of chargers, electricity, software, infrastructure,
advertisement, manpower, and maintenance. On average, the cost of setting an EV
charging point is between Rs. 1,00,000 and Rs. 45,00,000 depending upon the
types of chargers you are going to install.

Types of EV chargers:

There are three types of EV chargers:

• Type 1- It is a single-phase plug which can charge power level of up to 3
kw. It slowly charges the vehicle from a home charging point converting AC
power to DC.
• Type 2- It is a three-phase plug with the capacity to handle power level between
7.4 kw and 43 kw with a 400 volt AC power supply. This type of charger is
compatible with both AC and DC charging systems as well as with vehicles with
CCS plugs.
• Combined Charging System (CCS)- As the name suggests, these charges have
the capability to handle Type 1 AC charging as well as Type 2 DC fast charging.
Combo charges can handle power
input of up to 350 kw.
• Chademo charger- It is a rapid charger with power input of up to 400 kw by 1000
V, 400 A direct current. Chademo is an abbreviation of 'Charge de Move' and is
widely accepted by over 70 countries across the sphere.
• GB/T charger- This type of charger is recommended by government of India.
Bharat DC 001 standard provides power output of 15 kw/ 72-200 V while Bharat
AC 001 provides output of 10 kw/230 V.

Is it profitable to start an EV charging business?

EV home charging and public charging setup business are one of the best business
opportunities in India. Though the customer category still relies and depends upon
the traditional auto industry, EV automobile industry is the next generation
preference. The government has also taken various initiatives to promote the
sale of such vehicles. GST on electric vehicles and their batteries has been reduced
to 5%. Income tax benefits are provided up to Rs. 1,50,000 on the interest rate
paid on their loans. Other than this, state governments provide additional benefits,
like exemption on road tax, registration fees, stamp duty, electricity tax etc.
