AC 22 kW destination charger

Massively underrated. Where cars sit for hours, 22 kW AC gives you most of the customer satisfaction of DC at a fifth of the capex.

20 Indian manufacturers build this

11 and 22 kW units for hotels, offices, malls and anywhere cars park for hours. We introduce you to the ones that fit your site, and they quote you directly — specification, order size and site works move the number too much for a list price to mean anything.

Is this the right charger for you?

The most underrated charger in India. Where cars park for three hours or more — hotels, malls, offices, society parking — a 22 kW AC unit gives guests most of the satisfaction of DC at roughly a fifth of the capital cost, and it needs no cooling, no heavy civil work and far less maintenance.

Vehicles

Any Type 2 car; charges at whatever the car’s onboard charger allows.

What installation needs

A three-phase connection and about 22 kW of headroom on your sanctioned load.

Before you sign anything

  • Confirm your current sanctioned load from your latest electricity bill
  • Ask whether the quote includes the transformer upgrade, or excludes it
  • Get OCPP 1.6J or higher stated in writing, so you are not locked to one vendor's software
  • Check ARAI or equivalent certification and exactly what the warranty covers
  • Ask for the monthly fixed cost — demand charges and platform commission, not just capex

The rest of the project cost

The AC 22 kW destination charger is one line. These are the others, and they are where first-time buyers get caught out.

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.

AC 22 kW destination charger questions

Who manufactures a AC 22 kW destination charger in India?

20 Indian manufacturers build this class of charger, including Exicom Tele-Systems, Delta Electronics India, Servotech Power Systems, Amara Raja and others. Pricing varies by specification, order quantity and how much site work your location needs, so the manufacturer quotes you directly rather than from a list price. Tell us about your site and we make the introduction.

What does a AC 22 kW destination charger need to be installed?

A three-phase connection and about 22 kW of headroom on your sanctioned load. A three-phase connection is required.

Which cars work with a AC 22 kW destination charger?

Any Type 2 car; charges at whatever the car’s onboard charger allows. The connector is Type 2, which is the standard in India.

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.

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.
