High-power multi-gun charging at a bus depot

High-power multi-gun charging at an Indian bus depot.

Every charger, and who builds it in India

Six charger types cover almost every site in India, from a home wallbox to a fleet depot unit. Each one below lists its full specification and how many of the 26 Indian manufacturers we work with build that class of equipment.

The useful rule: buy DC where cars pass through, AC where cars park. A 22 kW AC charger at a hotel often returns more than a 60 kW DC unit, at a fifth of the capital cost, because the car was going to sit there for six hours anyway.

We do not publish prices, and that is deliberate. What a charger actually costs you depends on specification, order size and how much electrical work your site needs — so the manufacturer quotes you directly once they understand the project. Tell us what you are building and we make the introduction. Free for buyers.

The catalogue

Illustrations are our own drawings of each form factor, not vendor photographs — so you are comparing the hardware class, not the marketing.

How big they actually are

Every charger below is drawn to the same scale, with a 1.7 metre person for reference. This is the comparison vendor photographs cannot give you, because each manufacturer shoots at a different crop.

EV chargers compared at true relative size A 1.7 metre person, then every charger class drawn to the same scale: a 7.4 kW wallbox at 330mm, a 22 kW pedestal at 1.35m, and DC units from 1.5m to 2m tall and up to 1.4m wide. 1.7 m AC 7.4 kW 0.33 m AC 22 kW 1.35 m DC 30 kW 1.50 m DC 60 kW 1.66 m DC 120 kW 1.90 m DC 240 kW 2.00 m

Footprint matters more than most buyers expect. A 60 kW dual-gun unit needs roughly 25–30 sq m per bay once you allow turning space and cable movement, and a 240 kW system usually arrives as a separate power cabinet plus dispensers, so you are siting two things, not one.

What gets added beyond the hardware

Whatever a manufacturer quotes you for the charger, these four lines sit on top — and they depend entirely on the electrical infrastructure your site already has. Knowing them before you take the call is how you avoid the budget moving after you commit.

Full cost guide
What a 60 kW DC station costs you beyond the equipment, India, 2026
What you are paying for Low High Why it moves
Civil work, canopy, foundation, cabling ₹1.5 L ₹3.0 L Higher if you want weather protection and lighting, which you should.
Transformer or sanctioned load upgrade ₹1.0 L ₹4.0 L The single most common budget shock. Depends entirely on your existing feeder.
DISCOM commercial connection, deposits, liaisoning ₹0.50 L ₹2.0 L Security deposit scales with sanctioned load and is refundable but ties up cash.
Network software, signage, commissioning, first-year AMC ₹0.40 L ₹1.5 L Platform commission on every unit sold is separate and ongoing.
Site works, before equipment ₹3.4 L ₹10.5 L Add the manufacturer's equipment quote to this. Compare the total, never the hardware alone.

Questions about choosing a charger

What is the difference between AC and DC charging, and which should I buy?

Buy DC where cars pass through and AC where cars park. DC fast chargers (30–240 kW) convert power externally and fill a car to 80% in 20–45 minutes, which suits highways, petrol pumps and public stations. AC chargers (7.4–22 kW) rely on the car's onboard charger and take 2–8 hours, which is perfect for homes, hotels, offices and malls where the car sits anyway. A 22 kW AC destination charger at a hotel often makes more business sense than a 60 kW DC unit at a fifth of the capital cost.

How much does it cost to set up an EV charging station in India?

The equipment price comes from the manufacturer, against your actual specification and order size — we do not publish it, because any published band is wrong for most buyers. What we can tell you is everything else, which is the part that surprises people: civil work and canopy (₹1.5–3 lakh), a transformer or sanctioned load upgrade (₹1–4 lakh), the DISCOM commercial connection with deposits (₹50,000–2 lakh), and commissioning with first-year AMC (₹40,000–1.5 lakh). Most first-time buyers budget only for the charger and get caught by the electrical infrastructure.

What is OCPP and why does it matter?

OCPP is the open protocol that lets a charger talk to any management platform, and insisting on OCPP 1.6J or higher is what stops you being locked to one vendor. A non-OCPP charger can only be managed by its manufacturer's software, so if you ever want to switch networks, change pricing logic, or join an aggregator app, you cannot. It costs nothing extra to specify. Ask for it in writing.

How long does it take to get an EV charging station running?

Six to twelve weeks if your electrical infrastructure is already adequate, and three to six months if it is not. The charger itself arrives in two to four weeks. What sets your timeline is the DISCOM: a commercial connection on an existing adequate feeder can be sanctioned in three to four weeks, while a transformer upgrade or new feeder can take three months or more depending on your utility.

What hidden costs should I expect beyond the charger price?

Four things that vendors routinely quote separately or not at all: the transformer or sanctioned load upgrade, the DISCOM security deposit, demand charges on your monthly bill, and platform commission on every unit you sell. Demand charges in particular catch people out — a commercial connection bills you on your peak sanctioned demand whether you use it or not, so an underutilised 120 kW connection bleeds money every month. Always compare landed cost and monthly fixed cost, never just hardware price.
