Electric vehicles (EVs) are no longer niche—they’re everywhere. But EV charging isn’t just about plugging in your car. It’s about creating solutions that work for different people, places, and purposes.

Whether you're a homeowner, a society manager, a commercial developer, or a fleet operator, EV charging can be tailored to your needs.

Let’s explore the top 5 use cases and answer the question: How can EV charging solutions be the right fit for me?

I’m a Homeowner. Can I Install an EV Charger at Home?

Yes, and it’s the easiest way to charge your EV.

Home charging is ideal for daily use. You can install a 3.3kW or 7.4kW AC charger in your parking space and charge overnight.

Why it fits:

  • Convenient and cost-effective
  • No dependency on public stations
  • Works with most single-phase connections

Smart Tip: Use a smart charger to schedule charging during off-peak hours and monitor energy usage via mobile app.

I Manage a Housing Society. Can We Offer EV Charging to Residents?

Absolutely. Shared charging is becoming a must-have amenity.

Societies can install chargers in common parking areas. Residents can access them using RFID cards or mobile apps, and pay based on usage.


Why it fits:

  • Supports multiple users
  • Enables secure access and billing

Smart Tip: Choose chargers with energy metering and CMS integration to simplify management and reporting.

I Own or Operate a Commercial Property. Is EV Charging a Good Investment?

Yes, it adds value and attracts footfall.

Malls, office buildings, and business parks are ideal for EV charging. Visitors and employees can top up their vehicles while they shop or work.


Why it fits:

  • Enhances property value
  • Encourages green commuting
  • Can be monetized through pay-per-use models

Smart Tip: Install 7.4/22kW AC chargers for faster turnaround and integrate with a CMS for real-time monitoring and analytics.

I’m a Charge Point Operator (CPO). What Do I Need to Build a Public Charging Network?

You need scalable, smart infrastructure.

CPOs deploy chargers across various locations which include residential areas like societies, commercial complexes like malls, convenience stores etc. These stations must support both AC and DC fast charging and offer app-based access.


Why it fits:

  • Serves long-distance and urban commuters
  • Enables real-time availability and remote diagnostics
  • Supports secure payments and session tracking

Smart Tip: Use OCPP-compliant chargers and a robust CMS to manage multiple locations efficiently.

Do I Need EV Chargers On-Site as a Fleet Operator?

Yes, it’s essential for operational efficiency and uptime.

Fleet operators rely on EV chargers to keep vehicles ready for dispatch, reduce downtime, and manage energy costs effectively. Whether you're running logistics, employee transport, or last-mile delivery, on-site charging hubs across key locations are a strategic asset.


Why It Fits:

  • Supports Fleet Availability and Scheduling
  • Vehicles can be charged during idle hours, ensuring they’re ready for the next route or shift.
  • Reduces Dependency on Public Charging

Public infrastructure may be inconsistent or costly. On-site chargers offer control, reliability, and cost savings.

  • Enables Smart Energy Management

Integrated charging systems allow for load balancing, scheduled charging, and real-time monitoring—optimizing energy use across your fleet.

  • Improves Driver Experience and Operational Predictability

Drivers don’t need to hunt for public chargers, and fleet managers can plan routes and shifts with confidence.


Smart Tip:

Set up charging hubs at high-utilization points like depots or parking zones. Integrate chargers with your fleet management system to track energy usage, schedule charging, and receive alerts—all in real time.

What Should I Look for in an EV Charging Solution?

  • Scalability: Choose chargers that grow with your needs
  • Smart Features: App control, RFID, energy metering
  • Safety & Compliance: BIS-certified, surge protection
  • Connectivity: WiFi, 4G, BLE, OCPP support
  • User Experience: Easy access, secure billing, real-time updates
