1. Issues like climate change, global warming and pollution are driving adaption of new green and clean initiatives across the various sectors worldwide. Transport sector contributes more than 20% of the global CO2 emission. Electric Vehicle is one of the solution to reduce vehicular emission at the place of operation. 2. Aside me there are 2 vehicles, one is Internal Combustion Engine based Vehicle and other one is Electric Vehicle. The Internal combustion engine based vehicle gets its energy from petrol or diesel, whereas the Electric Vehicle gets its required force from electric motor & energy from the battery system. 3. The Electric Vehicles are now facing the problem of range anxiety issue and availability charging infrastructure issue. The range anxiety issue can be solved by customized design of the battery capacity based on the user requirement and charging infrastructure issue can be solved by widespread development of Public charging Infrastructure. 4. For successful penetration of Electric Vehicles, EV Charging Stations play an important role. Chargers are generally two types, slow and fast. Slow chargers typically take 7-8 hours in charging and are installed in houses/offices. Fast chargers take 45-90 minutes in charging and are installed in public places to serve consumers. 5. POWERGRID is establishing fast EV Charging stations across the country to facilitate charging of EVs for green and clean future of the country. (Show inside of EV Charger) 6. POWERGRID’s Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure are unmanned in nature which works with a smartphone based mobile application POWERev, which is freely downloadable on your android and iOS based smartphone. 7. POWERev App autodetects your current location and accordingly display the nearest EV charging stations on a map with navigation facility. Available, unavailable and busy chargers are displayed with colour coding. 8. Connect the charger gun with appropriate socket of the EV, scan QR code of charger, enter the required number of units to charge which would accordingly display the corresponding price and you may modify the estimated kWh based on your decision on price or kWh to be charged. 9. On clicking quick charge, the gun will be locked with the charger, charging will start. 10. POWERev App continuously displays the charging status in real time with details like battery state of charge, kWh consumed, corresponding amount in rupees and the elapsed time. 11. Charging can be stopped from App or it will be auto-stopped on full charge. In case of any emergency, charging can be stopped from the emergency button present on the charger. 12. Pay the bill from App itself to unlock the charger. All the payment methods such as credit card/debit card/internet banking/ UPI/ Wallets etc. are supported to pay the bill. Hope to see you soon at POWERGRID’s EV Charging Station.
