How it works.
Frequently asked questions.
How much does a home EV charger cost to install in India?
A basic AC wallbox (3.3-7.2 kW) typically costs ₹15,000-50,000 for the unit, plus installation - wiring, a dedicated circuit, and sometimes a panel upgrade - which can add ₹5,000-20,000 depending on your home's electrical setup and distance to the parking spot. Some automakers bundle a charger with the purchase; check your dealer's offer before buying separately.
Do I even need a dedicated home charger?
If you drive modest distances and can plug into a regular home socket overnight, that may be enough and costs nothing extra. A dedicated AC wallbox shines for higher-mileage drivers or those who need to recharge fully overnight, and it can improve the resale appeal of your home or apartment parking spot.
Can I install a home charger in an apartment/society?
It depends on your housing society's rules and your parking allocation - many societies now allow dedicated EV charging points in designated/owned parking spots, but you may need society approval and a separate metered connection. Check with your RWA/builder before committing to a purchase.
