India to Require 25,000 Additional EV Fast Chargers in Next Three Years
India is expected to need at least 25,000 additional direct current (DC) fast chargers over the next three years to support rapid growth in electric vehicle sales, including passenger cars, buses, and trucks. This projection, shared by Exicom Tele-Systems CEO Anant Nahata, considers an annual growth rate of 60-80% in electric car sales and government plans to add 10,000-15,000 electric buses. Currently, India has over 29,000 EV charging stations, with around 8,000 fast chargers, though utilization rates remain low at about 5-20%.
