Maxson Lewis, Founder & MD, Magenta said, “The attractive purchase incentives provided by the Government will surely make the cost of owning and operating an EV affordable. Keeping with the trend for home EV charging, which generally accounts for 70-80 percent of worldwide charging demands, we are planning to cover around 5,000 installations of home chargers by the end of this year under this scheme. We have successfully deployed the highest number of EV charging points under this scheme.”
Around 100 EV chargers are also installed in different DISCOM offices.

The LEVAC chargers are designed for private use and the AC001 for residential purposes. The private EV charger roughly costs Rs. 2,375 after subsidy and has several features such as auto charging session resume in the event of power failure. It is also equipped with multiple safety protocols to protect against electronic short circuits, over-currents, over-voltage, and ground fault. These chargers are easy to install and take up very little space as they can be placed on the wall or on a stand. These smart chargers can be operated through the ChargeGrid mobile application by all EV users.
