![]() ![]() (Think iPhone vs Android charging cables). In a case like GTO's, terminating the connection as a 15 Amp socket makes sense as a lot of test-drive cars will come with a (slower) portable charger that stays in the boot, and connects to a 15 Amp plug-point.įor regular charging, a wall-mounted charger could also be installed, but it's a bit of a gamble as to which standard most EVs would use. Though any electrical engineer should be able to do the basic math and tell you what gauge wire to use. So there's really not much you can add right now in addition to the channels or cables.įor more info on the recommended cabling, you could try searching the Bharat EV charging standards ( example). If your intent is just future-proofing provisions, this is enough.Įvery EV manufacturer has their own wall-mounted charger that they'll give free with the car, and it will need to be hard-wired in. ![]() You may never know, someday, inductive charging may become standard with all cars as well. I am sure other carmakers launching EVs will have tie ups to help customers install chargers at home. Both MG and Hyundai offer a wall mounted charger with their cars and Allianz and Fortum will help you set up the chargers at home. These guys would be the best to contact for any specific information you would need. Hyundai has partnered with Allianz Worldwide and MG has partnered with Fortum to wall-mounted chargers at home. I would suggest just leaving pipes / ducts to install the cabling later. There would be no point spending so much now for the cabling to all four parking spots if there is no immediate plans to get an electric car in the near future. Of course, it would depend on the distance. He paid 28k for cabling from the meter to the parking slot. Do check out this post by BHPian sheldon.dz. It could depend on the charger being used as well and be specific to an electric car. I dont think there are certain specifications. Will install faster chargers once we start testing more EVs or I buy one. For the other faster charging options, am just making a provision for the wiring and keeping. Right now, I'm putting just the 15A socket with a waterproof lock & cover on 3 sides of the compound. I charged the Kona & ZS EV media cars this way. This is the cheapest and should do for a lot of people (at least as a temporary fix) as overnight parking = best charging time. For a 15 amps socket, 2.5 sq mm 3 core cable if distance is within 30 meters, 4 sq mm if distance is more than that. Install 4 inch PVC conduit and keep handholes at every 5m. 16 sq mm (armored cable) if distance is over 30 meters from meter. Cable used is 10 sq mm three-core if the distance is under 30 meters. RCCB is put after the meter and a 40A MCB just before the charger. Single phase is okay, but 3 phase is much preferred. Just simplifying and putting all the advice taken from BHPians here! My EV charger work starts today But I want as clean an installation as possible when I do it.Īny guidance with photograhs from anyone who has already set up a charging point at home in India would be really helpful. I know I can always run cables externally on the walls. No information about the wires to be used, any distance specifications from the mains etc.Īs of now I have asked the engineer to just have large diameter pipes/ducts running through the concrete that can accommodate really thick cables directly from the mains to each parking slot. I am unable to find any information regarding household EV points specific to India. I also wanted to add provision for a charging point for Electric Vehicles in each of the four permanent parking slots. I was looking to future proof the new house with at least provisions for future projects I may make like adding an on grid solar power plant for the meter I use etc. Connection to the two slots retained for my use and the common area like terrace etc will be from a third meter. The electricity mains will be in the basement itself.Įach floor will have independent electricity connection with a corresponding connection for lights and plug points to a parking slot each. Two parking slots will be for those who rent out the houses while the other two will be retained by me. An independent residence on each floor, both of which we are planning to give on rent. The basic plan is a basement parking for 4 cars which can be moved independently and a couple of others squeezed in if required on a temporary basis. ![]() I am planning to build a house on land available next to my present house. ![]()
