A case Study on wired and Wireless charger standards in India for Electric Vehicle Application

India has taken major step in adopting the electric vehicle by means of FAME Scheme (Fast Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles), a government initiative. ARAI (Automotive Research Authority of India) and DHI (Department of Heavy Industry) have published standardization protocol for both EV charging infrastructure. Many of those standards are derived from the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) Internationals and IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission). USA, Europe and China are also following the same standards to build the EV (Electric Vehicle) infrastructure. This paper provides the Indian standards to build EV charging infrastructure and comparing it with other countries. Glimpses on energy demand for electric vehicles in Indian market. It also provides the demanding wireless power transfer technology in EV’s. Status of Standards provided by the industry on wireless power transfer. Factors that are necessary to be considered before drafting the standards for WPT.
