India’s electric vehicle charging ecosystem is extremely fragmented. The need for multiple apps and access cards makes it inconvenient for EV users to charge at public charging stations. Charging providers are hesitant to invest in public charging as utilisation remains low. Interoperability to that effect is both a means and an end in India's ambitious mobility transition. It helps aggregate stations for EV users and demand for charging providers. Aggregating both demand and supply induces network effects, benefiting the entire EV ecosystem.

This webinar will discuss how interoperability could be used to advance India’s EV charging ecosystem. We will share insights from the CEEW-eDRV joint project on interoperability and invite inputs from EV leaders on some of the key questions surrounding interoperability.
