Abstract

The Bharat Charge Alliance (BCA) is an inclusive platform dedicated to creating a safer and more interconnected environment for India’s Light Electric Vehicle (EV) industry. The BCA’s main goal is to create a reliable and interoperable charging network throughout India, involving essential stakeholders like electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers, charging station and component producers, battery and energy suppliers, and charge point operators. This initiative, spearheaded by Kapil Shelke, Founder & CEO of Tork Motors, is driven by the vision of democratizing technology to enhance its accessibility and affordability for consumers. Recognizing the significance of standardization in the charging infrastructure, BCA has partnered with the CHAdeMO Association, renowned for its expertise in developing DC charging technology. By aligning their efforts, BCA and CHAdeMO seek to promote interoperability within the Indian market, ensuring seamless communication between electric vehicles and chargers. Emphasizing the importance of adherence to global protocol and standards, the alliance plans to implement the IS17017-25 and IS17017-2-6 standards, derived from the IEC 61851-25 and IEC 62196-6, respectively, as mandated by the Bureau of Indian Standard. Through the adoption of these standards, BCA aims to facilitate a universal EV charging network accessible to both two-wheeler and three-wheeler users in both business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to- business (B2B) domains. Moreover, the alliance advocates for minimal alterations in vehicles to ensure cost-effective and flexible charging options. This collaboration is a key step towards establishing a robust, consumer-friendly EV charging infrastructure, promoting widespread electric mobility in India.Tomomi HAKOMORI, Public Affairs Director at CHAdeMO Association, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, underscoring the organization’s commitment to enhancing the charging infrastructure in India and fostering the growth of e- mobility within the country. With its wide-reaching network encompassing major automotive OEMs across seven continents, the CHAdeMO Association stands poised to contribute significantly to the advancement of electric mobility on a global scale.
