Explore the detailed financial breakdown for a 60kW dual-gun DC charger with EV Shield. Learn about setup costs, net profits, and break-even timelines.
Setting up a 60kW Dual-Gun DC Fast Charger (CCS2) under the EV Shield FOCO (Franchise Owned, Company Operated) model is one of the most popular configurations for commercial hubs, highway restaurants, and retail destinations across India.
Under the FOCO model, you invest in and own the physical asset, while EV Shield plans, installs, operates, monetizes, and maintains the station on your behalf.
Here is a detailed, financial breakdown covering initial Capital Expenditure (CAPEX), daily Operational Assumptions, Monthly Financials, and ROI / Payback Timelines.
Setting up a commercial-grade 60kW DC dual-gun charging station includes the hardware, electrical power infrastructure, civil works, and initial onboarding.
Item | Description | Estimated Cost (₹ INR) |
60kW Dual-Gun DC Fast Charger | OCPP-compliant 60kW CCS2 dual-gun charger unit | ₹11,50,000 |
DISCOM Electrical Infrastructure | Dedicated transformer setup, HT/LT metering, & panel box | ₹3,50,000 |
Civil & Structural Works | Plinth, protective bollards, weather canopy, earthing pits | ₹1,80,000 |
Electrical Cabling & Protection | Armored copper/aluminum cabling, MCBs, RCDs, isolation switch | ₹1,20,000 |
Branding, Safety & Onboarding | Signage, bay marking, fire extinguishers, EV Shield platform setup | ₹1,00,000 |
GST & Regulatory Contingency | Applicable duties & DISCOM connection security deposits | ₹3,00,000 |
Total Estimated CAPEX | Complete All-In Turnkey Investment | ₹22,00,000 |
Note: Depending on site complexity and specific grid upgrades, turnkey single-charger site setups can range between ₹18 Lakhs and ₹25 Lakhs (standard site indicative average: ~₹22 Lakhs).
Charger Rating: 60 kW (Dual Gun, charging 1 heavy EV at 60kW or 2 cars split at 30kW each).
Average Daily Utilization: 10% (Equates to ~2.4 hours of full 60kW power delivery per day, serving ~4 to 6 vehicles daily).
Monthly Energy Sold: 60 kW x 2.4 hours/day x 30 days = 4,320 kWh/month.
Electricity Cost (DISCOM EV Tariff): ₹6.50 / kWh (Average dedicated commercial EV tariff across major Indian states).
Charging Tariff Charged to Drivers: ₹20.00 / kWh (Market competitive tariff for DC fast charging).
Gross Margin per kWh: ₹20.00 - ₹6.50 = ₹13.50 per kWh.
Under the EV Shield FOCO framework, EV Shield manages software licensing, 24/7 customer care, payment processing, dynamic load control, and technical AMC for a revenue-share / CPO management fee (typically ~15% of revenue) plus fixed site overheads.
Energy Sold x Charging Tariff = 4,320 kWh x ₹20.00/kWh = ₹86,400 / month
Expenses Breakdown
Power Bill (DISCOM Energy Cost): 4,320 kWh x ₹6.50/kWh = ₹28,080 / month
EV Shield CPO Management & Software Fee (15%): 15% x ₹86,400 = ₹12,960 / month
Fixed Site Costs / Maintenance Provision: ₹5,000 / month
Total Monthly OPEX = ₹28,080 + ₹12,960 + ₹5,000 = ₹46,040 / month
Net Monthly Partner Earnings
Net Income = Gross Revenue - Total OPEX = ₹86,400 - ₹46,040 = ₹40,360 / month
Annual Net Profit = ₹40,360 × 12 months = ₹4,84,320 / year
Metric | 10% Utilization (Moderate Site) | 15% Utilization (Prime Highway/Fleet Site) |
Daily Full-Power Hours | 2.4 Hours / Day | 3.6 Hours / Day |
Monthly Energy Sold | 4,320 kWh | 6,480 kWh |
Monthly Gross Revenue | ₹86,400 | ₹1,29,600 |
Monthly Net Profit | ₹40,360 | ₹63,220 |
Annual Net Profit | ₹4,84,320 | ₹7,58,640 |
Annual Return on Capital (ROC) | 22.0% | 34.4% |
Estimated Break-Even Period | ~4.5 Years | ~2.9 Years |
Scalability with EV Growth: As EV adoption increases on highways and urban routes, going from 10% to 15% utilization cuts the break-even timeline from 4.5 years down to under 3 years.
Zero Operational Hassle: The partner avoids handling driver disputes, broken cables, billing system downtime, or grid load monitoring—EV Shield handles it end-to-end.
Subsidy Benefits: State-level capital subsidies (~25% capital subsidy in select states) and PM E-DRIVE upstream incentives can further lower the initial CAPEX and accelerate payback.
