Is it the end of road for 25kW and 30kW chargers?
When the industry is moving to 60 and 120kW chargers as standard in India
It will be surprising to many that roughly one third of India’s fast charging infrastructure, 3850 chargers, are rated 30kW and below. It has been a few years since the launch of mainstream cars that are rated to charge at 60kW and above.
We’ve documented in our previous report how the industry has graduated from 25-30kW to 60kW and to now 120kW chargers.
What happens to the existing infrastructure that is already installed? Are there any takers for that? How can the CPOs repurpose this hardware? We delve into some of these questions today.
When will CPOs face these issues?
Existing sites at high utilization are prime to upgrade hardware. When queuing starts happening regularly at your chargers, it is already too late to do so. CPOs can enhance customer experience by installing higher capacity chargers or supplement the existing low capacity chargers with higher ones.
If you are a CPO and are unable to identify any of these patterns, you can reach out to us and we will help you with it.
