New EV Charging Standard for Bikes and Scooters

October 26, 2023

GS Paper III Indian Economy

Context:

  • The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has approved an indigenously  EV charging standard ISI7017 (Part 2 / Sec 7): 2023.

What is ISI7017 (Part 2 / Sec 7): 2023?

  • It is developed through collaboration among NITI Aayog, the Department of Science and Technology, electric two-wheeler maker Ather Energy.
  • The indigenously developed EV charging standard is the first in the world that combines alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) for light electric vehicles (LEVs). 
  • Although the new approved standard fixes the problem of different standards for AC and DC charging by creating a combined standard, it does not mandate EV makers to use a uniform standard which can help in faster adoption of EVs.
Global EV Charging Standard

  • China:  GB/T is used as the national standard for charging.
  • Europe:  Combined Charging System (CCS) is the predominant charging connector standard, and is also a European Union (EU) requirement for EV charging networks. 
  • Japan: The predominant charging standard is called CHAdeMO.

Why is a national EV charging standard needed for India?

  • In India, EV makers are not mandated to follow a specific standard for charging connectors. 
    • For Example: Electric two-wheeler makers such as Ola Electric, Ather Energy, and Ultraviolette Automotive, all use different charging standards for their EVs.
  • Thus, too many charging standards for EVs makes it difficult for public charging stations to cater to each individual type.
