Learn how EV Shield's FOCO franchise model delivers 18-24%+ IRR for investors and property owners. Explore our turnkey EV charging infrastructure and CPO roadmap.
The EV Shield Leadership Team discusses EV Shield’s strategic approach to building public, highway, and captive EV charging infrastructure across India. The feature explores EV Shield’s operational network footprint across urban centers and inter-city corridors, the turnkey deployment of high-power DC fast chargers, pan-India expansion plans, proprietary CPMS software integration, and the flagship FOCO (Franchise Owned, Company Operated) growth model.
EV Shield: EV Shield has established itself as an end-to-end Charge Point Operator and high-growth EV infrastructure brand in India. Our operational footprint is built on dependable hardware, high station uptime, and strategic real estate selection:
Charging Stations & Outlets: We have successfully deployed over 200 charging stations across high-demand urban hubs, commercial properties, and highway corridors, delivering more than 500 individual charging points to ensure reliable access for all EV drivers.
Key Network Presence: Our network connects key metropolitan regions and growth hubs including Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, and Coimbatore. On major highway corridors—such as Bengaluru–Chennai, Mumbai–Pune, and Delhi–Jaipur—EV Shield enables long-distance, range-anxiety-free inter-city travel.
Versatile Charger Portfolio: Our hardware lineup spans 7.4 kW AC chargers for overnight residential and workplace charging, 30 kW and 60 kW DC fast chargers for quick urban top-ups at malls and hotels, up to 120 kW and 240 kW DC ultra-fast chargers on heavy-traffic highways and commercial fleet depots.
EV Shield: A unified, dependable pan-India network is at the core of EV Shield’s mission. Our nationwide rollout is structured in strategic phases:
Phase 1 (Consolidation): Densifying coverage across prime highway corridors, key industrial belts, port transport zones, and commercial real estate hubs with high-capacity fast-charging stations.
Phase 2 (Pan-India Rollout): Rapidly expanding our footprint across Maharashtra, Gujarat, Delhi-NCR, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Telangana by securing strategic land leases, commercial property partnerships, and local grid connectivity approvals.
Our expansion follows a proven “Hub-and-Spoke” model: we first build high-visibility charging hubs in tier-1 metropolises (Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad) and then connect them with continuous ultra-fast highway charging corridors.
EV Shield: Capital deployment at EV Shield is strictly targeted toward maximum station utilization, network reliability, and technology enhancement:
Network Expansion (60%): Deploying 300+ new charging hubs and 1,000+ additional high-power charging outlets across inter-city corridors and tier-1/tier-2 urban markets.
Proprietary Technology & Software (20%): Enhancing our user-facing EV Shield App (available on iOS & Android) and our backend CPMS (Charging Point Management System) with real-time analytics, dynamic load management, and automated partner settlement features.
Ultra-Fast Hardware Deployment (15%): Scaling up 120 kW to 240 kW DC ultra-fast chargers equipped with CCS2 standard connectors to accommodate both passenger electric cars and heavy commercial e-fleets.
Strategic Ecosystem Alliances (5%): Building alliances with commercial real estate developers, fleet operators, state DISCOM authorities, and top-tier talent.
EV Shield: Our FOCO (Franchise Owned, Company Operated) model is designed to make EV charging station ownership simple, hands-free, and profitable:
The FOCO Framework: The franchisee/investor owns the charging hardware asset and funds the capital expenditure (CapEx) for equipment, civil site works, and power sanction approvals. EV Shield acts as the complete Charge Point Operator (OpEx & CPO)—handling site design, installation, 24/7 remote CPMS monitoring, maintenance, customer care, and payment processing.
Commercial Returns: Property owners and investors with a minimum of 1,000 sq. ft. of accessible space (at hotels, malls, dhabas, or fuel stations) can expect an attractive Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 18% to 25%+, with an estimated break-even timeline of 3.5 to 5 years depending on location utilization and local tariffs.
End-to-End CPO Support: EV Shield provides complete turnkey management—including initial site feasibility studies, grid transformer setup, vendor coordination, 24/7 driver assistance, automated revenue settlements, and digital marketing to drive local EV traffic directly to the bay.
EV Shield: EV Shield stands apart from traditional CPOs through operational accountability, rapid execution capability, and complete technological ownership:
Demonstrated Uptime & Operational Excellence: Network uptime consistently exceeding 98%, backed by proactive remote diagnostics and dedicated field service teams (AMC).
Transparent Business & Software Stack: Proprietary CPMS platform providing live utilization dashboards, transparent energy-dispensed tracking, and automated partner payout settlements.
Equitable Location Strategy: Balancing high-yield commercial sites (malls, hotels, office parks) with crucial transit corridors to ensure long-term station viability.
End-to-End Accountability: A single point of contact covering feasibility, power sanctioning, civil execution, hardware integration, and lifelong network operation.
EV Shield: While public and highway fast-charging infrastructure remains our core business pillar to alleviate long-distance range anxiety, EV Shield offers a full-stack charging ecosystem:
Commercial & Highway Public Charging: High-power DC fast-charging destinations for public EV users.
Workplace & Residential Solutions: End-to-end AC smart-charging setups (7.4 kW to 22 kW) with load balancing and multi-tenant billing software for residential RWAs, corporate office parks, and housing complexes.
Fleet & Captive Hubs: Customized high-speed charging hubs equipped with dynamic load management for e-commerce logistics, delivery fleets, and corporate cab aggregators.
EV Shield: Strategic collaboration accelerates infrastructure growth. EV Shield works with partners across the mobility value chain:
Charger Hardware Manufacturers & OCPI Standards: Deep technical integrations with leading hardware OEMs, adhering to OCPI (Open Charge Point Interface) protocols for seamless roaming and cross-network compatibility.
Automakers (OEMs): Strategic alignment with electric vehicle manufacturers to provide seamless charging access, integrated mapping, and tailored charging perks for new EV buyers.
Fleet Operators & Logistics Hubs: Custom fleet charging solutions with centralized software monitoring for e-commerce logistics, last-mile delivery vehicles, and e-cab fleets.
Commercial Real Estate & State Authorities: Partnerships with hotel chains, shopping malls, multiplexes, highway amenity hubs, land owners, and municipal bodies to secure top-tier charging locations nationwide.
EV Shield: EV Shield’s vision is focused on three primary growth pillars:
Network Scale & Leadership: Expand our active operating footprint across 15+ Indian states and 50+ key highway corridors, establishing EV Shield as a top 3 CPO by operational charging points.
Superior Driver & Host Experience: Maintain station uptime above 98%, deliver frictionless app-based booking and digital wallet payments, and enhance host visibility through our operator dashboard.
Sustainable Commercial Growth: Build a profitable, self-sustaining CPO network while expanding revenue through ancillary services—including on-station digital advertising, automated fleet management, and grid-balancing technologies.
