Segment 01 — EV Charging for Industries and Manufacturing Facilities

India’s industrial sector is rapidly electrifying its fleets—driven by rising diesel costs, stricter emissions norms, and improving EV economics. As facilities transition forklifts, logistics vehicles, and employee transport to electric, the need for reliable, well-designed charging infrastructure becomes critical.

Industrial EV charging is fundamentally different from typical applications. It involves large fleets charging simultaneously, high peak loads that can strain electrical systems, mixed vehicle types with varying requirements, 24/7 operations, and the need for integration with existing energy and fleet systems. Without proper design, this can disrupt core operations.

Campuses are adopting EV charging for staff and students, often integrating solar-powered charging stations—supporting sustainability goals while providing practical and educational value.

Segment 03 — EV Charging for Residential Societies

Residential societies across India are experiencing a rapid rise in EV charging requests from residents, but most existing electrical systems were never designed to support multiple vehicles charging at the same time. Societies that take a proactive approach—by implementing a well-planned, fairly managed, and professionally installed common charging infrastructure—are seeing clear advantages in resident satisfaction, property value, and compliance with emerging regulations. In contrast, delaying action only compounds the problem, making future upgrades more expensive and disruptive as EV adoption continues to grow.

The challenge for residential societies is multi-layered. With several residents wanting dedicated charging points, uncoordinated installations can quickly strain the electrical load. Existing infrastructure—especially common area supply, distribution boards, and metering systems—was originally designed for basic loads like lighting and lifts, not EV charging. There is also a need to ensure fairness, so that only EV users pay for the electricity they consume, without cross-subsidisation by other residents. Safety is another critical factor, particularly in basement or enclosed parking areas where EV charging requires specific standards for ventilation, fire protection, and electrical systems. At the same time, societies must think ahead and design systems that can scale as more residents adopt EVs, avoiding the need for repeated overhauls.

Truven Energy addresses these challenges through a comprehensive and structured approach. The process begins with a detailed assessment of the society’s existing electrical infrastructure, including supply capacity, transformer load, distribution systems, and parking area wiring. Based on this, a complete EV charging master plan is developed, outlining charger placement, electrical requirements, load management strategy, billing systems, and provisions for future expansion—giving both the society committee and residents full visibility before implementation.

A dedicated EV charging distribution network is then installed, separate from the common area supply, ensuring that essential services like lighting and lifts remain unaffected while enabling accurate measurement of EV-related consumption. Each charging point is equipped with smart metering and secure access through RFID cards or mobile apps, allowing precise billing for individual users. To manage multiple vehicles charging simultaneously, a dynamic load management system intelligently distributes available power, preventing overloads and avoiding excess demand charges.
