Electric Vehicle Charging Standards in India and Safety Consideration

Electric vehicles (EVs) are very efficient, cheap, and cause less pollution to environment that internal- combustion (IC) engine base vehicles. As EVs are gaining lot of popularity globally so it becomes very important to standardize its infrastructure. This paper summarizes the various charging standards followed by different country regions globally and focuses the standards adopted by India. As of now, every standard identified with charging infrastructure depend on the European ambient conditions. As India being a tropical country, subsequently settling the EV charging standards, vehicle adoption pattern and India's encompassing temperature will become basic contemplations. Therefore, India has followed and modified various other standards to comply with Indian conditions. Moreover, the safety consideration for conductive EV charging utilized in India is also summarized.
