The study discusses the introduction of interoperability and electric vehicle (EV) roaming as means to strengthen India’s public charging space. Part of a collaboration with eDRV, the study identifies focus areas for interoperability in EV charging. Further, the three levers necessary for introducing EV roaming are examined. The lack of a charging infrastructure is a key barrier hampering India’s e-mobility ambitions. The study discusses how interoperability and electric vehicle (EV) roaming can boost user demand and aggregate charger supply, thereby catalysing the entire EV ecosystem. As a public policy consultation exercise, the report consolidates inputs from a diverse group of stakeholders to suggest a blueprint for establishing roaming in India.
