Nearly 45% homes in India need electrical upgrades for safe EV charging: Report

New Delhi: Around 45 per cent of homes in the country need electrical upgrades for safe EV charging, a report said on Tuesday.

The report titled 'The Net-Zero Transition Starts at Home: Enabling EV-Ready Residences in India' is based on a data set of more than 80,000 residential EV charger installations spanning tier-1, tier-2 and tier-3 cities, covering independent homes, apartment complexes, informal settlements and shared rental housing.

"Nearly 45 per cent of Indian homes need electrical upgrades to safely charge their EVs," said the report launched by Kazam in partnership with the Alliance for an Energy Efficient Economy (AEEE) in the national capital.

The report said each home must meet a common minimum threshold for safe, reliable and usable EV charging.
