Discover EV Shield’s turnkey EV charging franchise in South India. 30–400kW DC fast chargers, OCPP 2.0.1 CSMS, and complete KSEB, BESCOM & TNPDCL approvals.
The electric mobility transition across South India is accelerating at an unprecedented pace. From the bustling IT corridors of Bengaluru and Hyderabad to the vast logistics networks connecting Chennai, Coimbatore, and Kochi, EV adoption is driving a massive surge in demand for reliable, high-capacity charging infrastructure.
To meet this demand, EV Shield is building South India's Universal EV Charging Network—a unified ecosystem designed to eliminate fragmentation, ensure high network uptime, and empower landowners, franchise partners, and charge point operators (CPOs) to run profitable EV charging businesses.
One of the biggest hurdles facing EV owners today is platform fragmentation. Drivers are forced to download dozens of apps, register multiple digital wallets, and deal with inconsistent charge point management systems (CSMS).
EV Shield solves this through universal interoperability:
Open Protocols: By utilizing OCPP 2.0.1 (Open Charge Point Protocol) natively alongside OCPI 2.2 (Open Charge Point Interface), EV Shield bridges disparate CPO networks onto a single user-facing platform.
Universal Access: Drivers can discover, reserve, charge, and pay at any EV Shield hub or partner network across South India through one unified EV Shield Driver App.
Fleet & CPO Management: Franchise partners gain access to an enterprise-grade CSMS delivering real-time telemetry, automated dynamic pricing, load management, and remote diagnostic tools.
To support long-distance highway travel and rapid urban turnarounds, EV Shield deploys modular DC Fast Chargers ranging from 30 kW up to 400 kW peak output.
Under 30-Minute Charging: Drivers can charge their electric vehicles up to 80% capacity in under 30 minutes at any EV Shield hub.
99.5% Network Uptime SLA: Maintained through active 24/7 remote health monitoring, automated predictive maintenance alerts, and localized field service support.
Dual-Gun CCS2 Integration: Equipped with smart load-balancing to charge two vehicles simultaneously without overloading local transformer connections.
Setting up a commercial EV charging station requires strict regulatory compliance with local State Electricity Boards (DISCOMs) and statutory bodies. EV Shield delivers turnkey installations that comply fully with local grid mandates:
Sanctioning Authorities: BESCOM (Bengaluru), MESCOM (Coastal), CESC (Mysuru), HESCOM (Hubballi/Dharwad), and GESCOM (Kalaburagi/Ballari).
Tariff Structure: Public chargers require a dedicated LT-6(a) EV tariff connection governed by the Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission (KERC). Input tariffs typically range around ₹5.50–₹6.50 per unit, allowing CPOs to retail power at competitive ₹15–₹20 per kWh rates for DC fast charging.
Approval Timelines: End-to-end turnaround takes 30–55 working days, including Seva Sindhu portal applications, feasibility studies, deposit work, CEIG (Chief Electrical Inspectorate) inspection, and bi-directional meter installation.
Fully compliant with KSEB (Kerala State Electricity Board) electrical standards, including dedicated transformer setups, proper earthing, and specialized commercial installation protocols for urban and transit hubs.
Turnkey grid synchronization adhering to TNPDCL commercial tariff classifications, safety clearances, and high-voltage feeder connectivity across industrial hubs and state highways.
Streamlined Discom sanctioning through TGSPDCL for rapid deployment across Hyderabad's IT corridors, outer ring roads, and regional transit hubs.
PM E-DRIVE Scheme: Fully eligible for central subsidies under the Ministry of Heavy Industries.
BIS Certification: Hardware manufactured and tested according to IS 17017 standards by the Bureau of Indian Standards.
Landowners, commercial property managers, and entrepreneurs can turn vacant land or parking spaces into reliable revenue streams through the EV Shield Franchise Model.
