EV charging Infra in 10 years: How does India’s EV future look like

How about we charge your 1000kW EV in 20 to 30 mins? Is it too much? Well, how about we juice up your EV to travel an extra 1000 km in just 10 minutes of charging? And if you don’t want to stop at all, we can charge your vehicle while you are on the way to your destination. Seems like a dream right? Well, the future of electric vehicle charging in India is going to look something like this only. 

The year 2025 has started with the strong launches and showcase of many electric vehicles, from the everyday

Solar EV charging Solutions

One of the biggest USP of

electric vehicles

Further, it is interesting to note that India has also achieved a historic milestone by surpassing 100 GW of installed solar power capacity, marking a 3450 % increase from the past decade. Although this success is observed throughout various sectors and industries, in the

EV market

The charging cost of these solar stations will be significantly lower than that of conventional stations; however, their charging power may also vary. 

Megawatt Charging 

Megawatt charging technology has the potential to transform India’s transport and logistics sector by making electric heavy-duty vehicles more practical and efficient. Currently, long charging times limit the viability of electric trucks, buses, and cargo vessels for interstate travel. With megawatt charging, these vehicles can be recharged in minutes instead of hours, keeping them on the road longer and reducing downtime. This will make freight transport faster and more cost-effective, lowering logistics expenses and, in turn, reducing the cost of goods in the market. As India’s economy grows, a reliable and sustainable transport network is essential, and megawatt charging can be a key enabler of this shift.

To move in this direction, India has begun investing in advanced charging technology. The launch of a high-tech development facility in Visakhapatnam, in collaboration with Austrian researchers, demonstrates the country’s commitment to building its own high-power charging solutions. Meanwhile, global advancements, such as Comemso’s progress in handling megawatt-scale charging safely and efficiently, highlight the growing feasibility of this technology. By embracing megawatt charging, India can reduce reliance on fossil fuels, lower emissions, and create a cleaner, more efficient transport ecosystem for the future.

CATL fast charging

The CATL’s Shenxing PLUS battery in India, if introduced, could be a game-changer for the country’s electric vehicle (EV) market. With a range exceeding 1,000 kilometres and the ability to add 600 kilometres of charge in just 10 minutes, this technology addresses two of the biggest concerns for Indian EV buyers i.e. range anxiety and long charging times. It goes needless to say, resolving these issues will make long-distance travel seamless, allowing EVs to be practical not just for daily commutes but also for intercity and interstate journeys. 

Although Shenxing PLUS is not yet available in India, its future entry seems likely as CATL expands its global footprint. If Indian automakers integrate this battery technology, it could make EVs more appealing to a wider audience, especially in regions where long travel distances and limited charging stations are concerns. Additionally, if CATL’s superfast charging network model is implemented in India, it could complement the country’s growing charging infrastructure, further accelerating the shift toward electric mobility. With the right industry partnerships, Shenxing PLUS could help India achieve its clean energy goals faster while making EVs more practical, efficient, and accessible for millions. Although the company’s tech is an augmented technology in existing Indian OEMs like Revolt, its complete potential is yet not unlocked. 

However, China already controls a significant share of the global battery supply chain, and wider adoption of CATL’s technology in India could slow down domestic innovation and manufacturing capabilities. India has been pushing for battery indigenization through initiatives like the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme to promote local battery manufacturing. While integrating CATL’s advanced technology could benefit the Indian market in the short term, over-reliance on Chinese imports might limit the growth of homegrown alternatives.

Dash Dynamics 

The concept of electric vehicle (EV) charging roads, where vehicles can wirelessly charge as they drive, is gaining global attention as a transformative solution for sustainable transportation. Norway recently inaugurated the world's first wireless charging road in Trondheim, enabling electric buses to operate continuously without stopping for charging, thereby reducing carbon emissions. This pilot project utilizes specialized copper coils embedded beneath the road surface, allowing vehicles equipped with compatible technology to change dynamically. 

In India, the adoption of such innovative infrastructure could significantly enhance the EV ecosystem. By integrating wireless charging into major highways and urban roads, EVs could maintain optimal battery levels without the need for frequent stops, addressing range anxiety—a common barrier to EV adoption. This would make long-distance travel more feasible for electric vehicles, promoting wider acceptance among consumers and contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

Although this application seems like a distant future, believe me, it’s not that far! Indian companies are actively exploring this technology. Dash Dynamic, for instance, has developed a wireless charging solution that charges EVs 30% faster than conventional plug-in chargers. Their system employs magnetic resonance-based technology, enabling efficient energy transfer without physical connectors. Such advancements indicate a promising future for wireless charging infrastructure in India. However, this dynamic EV charging road is the greater application of the company’s current offering. 

As of now, the company features a wireless charging setup with 2 step installation. At first, the electric vehicle will be equipped with a receiver and power converter, after which the vehicle has to be parked upon the transmitter pad connected to a wall unit. This setup will allow your vehicle to get charged wirelessly. 

Implementing EV charging roads in India would require substantial investment and collaboration between government agencies, private enterprises, and technology providers. Challenges such as infrastructure costs, technological standardization, and vehicle compatibility need to be addressed. However, the potential benefits—including seamless charging experiences, extended driving ranges, and decreased reliance on extensive charging station networks—make it a compelling avenue for India's sustainable transportation strategy.

As global examples like Norway's wireless charging road demonstrate the feasibility and advantages of this technology, India has the opportunity to leapfrog into the next generation of EV infrastructure. By embracing wireless charging roads, the country can accelerate its transition to electric mobility, reduce environmental impact, and enhance energy efficiency in the transportation sector.
