Govt nudging firms towards EV charging interoperability

Government officials in India's Ministry of Power have been engaging with firms in the electric vehicle (EV) sector to promote interoperability between battery charging standards. While there are currently no regulations or policies in place for fast-charging facilities, making power and land usage rules more favourable and providing specific subsidies for fast-charging infrastructure could encourage their adoption. The government is hesitant to mandate a specific protocol, instead opting for a consultative approach with hopes that private players will drive interoperability. Standardisation is a challenge that requires coordination across multiple aspects, including hardware, software, and payment systems.
