Real Condition of EV Charging Stations
Electric Vehicles are becoming common these days. Now, you can spot these green-plated vehicles cruising on city roads as well as highways. There are 2W, like scooters, bikes, and mopeds; 3W, like autos, cargo trucks, and passenger vehicles; and classic 4W, like sedan and SUV cars. The dropping prices and growing sales of EVs in Indian States all point to the fact that the market is growing for EVs, and large EV adoption is not just a dream anymore but our living reality. However, the one thing that presents a challenge to this reality is the condition of the charging infrastructure.
EVs, unlike traditional petrol, diesel, or CNG-based ICE vehicles, run on electric batteries. These batteries are charged with the aid of AC or DC EV chargers, and the place from where the car is charged is called a Charging Station. The Charging Stations can be found in obvious places like a dedicated Public Charging Station or a Private Charging Station. They can also be found in places like your own home, office, parking place, mall parking, or near a cinema.
The idea is to provide so many charging stations to the user that they don’t face any problems related to charging, such as range anxiety or sudden shutdown of the vehicle. However, in practice, this ideal scenario does not come to pass because of various problems in the charging station, such as defective chargers, broken charging guns, lack of electricity, internal errors, and various other issues. Thus, it becomes very crucial to determine the working conditions of chargers in order to ensure a smooth driving experience with EVs.
EV Chargers in Gurugram
In order to obviate the problems faced by many EV users at a charging station, 1C has conducted an in-depth survey of all the working chargers in Gurgaon. In the process, we discovered that out of 140 listed chargers, a few EV chargers were defective, due to which they could not be used for charging.

Total Charger Covered In Gurugram (Actual Data) | 77 |

In some scenarios, the chargers were working, but there was no electricity at the station due to which the users could not charge their EVs. And even though the EV chargers were not in working condition, their dedicated EV Charging App failed to show the same.
Due to this error, many EV owners in Gurugram faced the situation where they arrived at a charging station with a low EV battery only to find that charging would not be possible at that station. Such experience can create frustration, lack of trust, range anxiety, and reluctance towards EVs and the supporting infrastructure.
