Accelerating the future of clean mobility

EVI Technologies Private Limited (EVIT) is an IIT Delhi alumina company based in New Delhi and is associated with Electropreneur Park (Funded and Supported by Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Govt. of India), New Delhi and Foundation for Innovation and Technology Transfer (FITT), IIT Delhi.

EVIT team has been working on developing an EV Charging Station for almost seven years and have deployed 3500+ EV chargers by the name, “EVI Technologies” as well as on White-label in 20+ states in India. EVIT provides both EV AC (slow) and DC (fast) chargers for e-2W, e-3W, and e-4W ranging from AC 3kW to 44kW and DC 15kW to 120kW which work through the user authentication process via a mobile app on the user/operator side. The charging starts as soon as the user is verified. This complete process includes the central server, mobile app, and charger (hardware) at the site with standard charging protocols.

EVIT always believed in “collaboration not competition” which fetched the company a lot of requests for tie-ups and collaborations in the past. To name a few:

  • EVI Technologies signed MoU with BSNL to install electric vehicle charging and battery swapping stations at 5,000 locations of BSNL across the country.
  • EVIT is the first company in India who got the first-ever tender floated for public EV charger in India by EESL, GoI (Nov 2017, EVIT got 50 AC001 EV chargers order).
  • In Dec 2018, EVIT tied-up with BSES Rajdhani for EV charger installation in Delhi. They planned for installing 3000 EV chargers at BSES Rajdhani territory.
  • Provided EV Chargers to Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL) & HPCL through partners on its outlets in West Bengal, Orissa, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Gujarat.
  • Provided EV chargers to Hindustan Petroleum Corp Ltd (HPCL) in Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Punjab & Haryana states.

EVIT also made EV chargers in 2016-17 before the standardization of EV charger standards in India using self-learning, meeting global standards, and also got awarded as THE MOST PROMISING START-UP BY IESA 2018.

Relation with DRIIV’s energy and environment thematic area

EV charging stations and battery swapping stations are central to DRIIV’s Energy and Environment initiatives, especially in promoting sustainable e-mobility solutions. DRIIV, which emphasizes innovation in clean energy, is collaborating with technology companies like EVI Technologies to tackle challenges associated with battery and charging infrastructure.

Battery swapping stations provide a convenient and time-saving option for EV users. These stations allow for rapid battery replacements, supporting the increasing number of electric two- and three-wheelers, which are essential for urban transportation in India. Additionally, EV charging stations also promote grid stability through smart charging and potential vehicle-to-grid (V2G) integration, enabling stored battery energy of EVs to be returned to the grid. This strengthens the distribution systems and enhances the resilience of the overall power infrastructure.

Additionally, these efforts are in line with the National Electric Mobility Mission, helping India achieve its energy and environmental objectives by cutting carbon emissions and shifting towards a cleaner transportation system.

Charging ahead for a sustainable, emission-free world

EV charging stations and battery swapping stations offer several significant benefits to Indian society, driving environmental sustainability and economic growth:

  • Environmental Impact By lessening dependence on fossil fuels, EV charging stations play a vital role in reducing air pollution, especially in India's heavily populated urban areas. Since electric vehicles produce no tailpipe emissions, the growth of EV infrastructure aids in cutting greenhouse gas emissions and shrinking India's carbon footprint, aligning with the nation's climate change objectives.
  • Cost-effective Transportation: Electric vehicles (EVs) are typically more cost-effective to run than conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. Charging at public stations is often cheaper than refuelling with petrol or diesel, helping consumers lower their transportation costs. Furthermore, battery swapping stations enable quicker vehicle turnaround, reducing downtime and enhancing the efficiency of commercial activities such as ride-sharing and delivery services.
  • Energy Dependence : The widespread development of EV charging infrastructure decreases India's reliance on imported oil, strengthening energy security. This transition helps stabilize the economy by reducing exposure to fluctuating oil prices and potential disruptions in external supply.

Job Creation and Economic Development : The establishment and upkeep of EV charging and battery swapping stations create new job opportunities, ranging from installation technicians to station operators. Expanding this green technology infrastructure can drive economic growth, particularly in rural regions, where electrification projects can enhance connectivity and development.

The Forward Momentum : Building a Green Future India’s EV revolution doesn’t stop at vehicle production. DRIIV is advancing the development of Green Charging Infrastructure, with projects like off-grid, solar-powered charging stations for the Atal Harit Vidyut Rashtriya Mahamarg. These innovations lay the foundation for universal, portable, and scalable charging solutions, designed with an economic model that supports rapid EV adoption. Additionally, research into the next generation solid-state Li-S batteries promises to further enhance energy storage capabilities for future electric mobility solutions.

Unveiling an era of green charging infra

We take a holistic approach towards developing EV batteries, making more sustainable and user-friendly systems. The main focus is to improve the life of the battery and to monitor the ageing of battery packs. Research in a thermal management system, digital twin for batteries, real-time monitoring using multi-physics and machine learning-based models are also developed to achieve the aforesaid focus. At the corner, Solar Charging will also be explored.
