观点:电动汽车充电网络的内容和位置
虽然电动汽车的采用主要由2W和3W部分驱动，但汽车和公共汽车的年销量也开始出现上升趋势。尽管每个细分市场都将根据不同的供需因素以自己的速度达到采用的拐点，但决定未来采用速度的所有细分市场的共同标准是一个覆盖全国的高效充电站网络。

与我们的“未来十年印度汽车业的九大改变者”一致行业’，电动汽车是一个巨大的机遇领域。这从销售额的上升率就可以明显看出电动汽车印度从18财年到21财年以13%的速度增长。虽然这主要是由2W和3W细分市场推动的，但轿车和公交车的年销量也开始出现上升趋势。尽管每个细分市场都将根据不同的供需因素以自己的速度达到采用的拐点，但决定未来采用速度的所有细分市场的共同标准是一个覆盖全国的高效充电站网络。
印度电动汽车充电
在印度目前安装的1800个电动汽车充电器中，95%是慢速充电器。展望未来，根据车辆类型和用例，需要在多个地点安装广泛的慢速和快速充电器网络，以满足道路上电动汽车数量不断增加的需求。
考虑到这一事实，政府提供了100亿卢比的支出，以激励设立充电基础设施此外，政府还为充电站提供了高达100%的资金。电力部还通知了多个慢速和快速充电器标准，以规范充电设备。
然而，为了确保政府和私营部门的努力得到最有效的利用，全面分析每种车辆类别所需的充电基础设施的需求、类型和位置，是当前迫切需要的。
为了满足不同类型电动汽车的充电要求，充电器需要安装在多个地方。所有这些地点可分为四类:
·家庭收费:包括个人住宅和住宅小区。
•机构收费:电动汽车固定聚集的场所，如办公场所、仓库、车队运营商停车场等。
“目的地收费:商场、机场、火车站等商业区域，作为不同车型的临时目的地。
•路上充电:包括城市和高速公路沿线的公共充电站，如汽油、柴油和CNG充电站。
车型的作用
车辆运行参数和使用条件将决定不同类别车辆充电地点的可行性。当涉及到充电要求时，个人使用的2W与商业使用的2W是不同的。前者平均每天跑20-30公里，通勤区域固定，而后者跑得更高，旅行范围更广。
因此，2W的个人用途可能每天只需要充电一次，可以在晚上在家使用慢速充电器充电，而2W的商业用途则需要每天多次充电，其中至少一次需要在目的地、机构或途中快速充电。类似的细微差别存在于所有车辆类别中，如汽车，无论是出租车还是个人，3W，轻型汽车和公共汽车。
电动汽车充电框架
电池类型在选择中的作用
电池的类型和尺寸也将在确定最佳充电方案中发挥关键作用。目前，大多数电动汽车都配备了NMC(镍、锰和钴)或LFP(磷酸铁锂)电池。这两种电池类型都提供了具有理想性能水平的经济有效的解决方案，然而，它们只能适应高达1C的充电速率(尽管一些lfp也达到了3C)。
这意味着对于更高容量的电池，使用慢速充电器一天多次充电将是不可行的。另一方面，电池化学物质，如LTO(钛酸锂氧化物)提供非常高的充电率。即使是容量较大的电池，使用快速充电器也能在几分钟内快速充电。然而，目前LTO的较高价格导致移动应用的使用率较低。
可能会出现一个用例，其中低容量LTO电池可以安装在商用车上，由此减少的续航里程可以通过快速充电能力来补偿，从而在最短的停机时间内保持日常运行
电池类型和尺寸决定充电方案
业务模式因素的作用
对确定充电需求、性质和位置有影响的其他参数包括电池所有权、电价、停车位可用性、客户偏好、充电站利用率、消费者预期的服务水平等。充电站业务也可以包含各种资产所有权水平的各种业务模式。
对于公共3w等电动汽车用户群体，其中车辆的前期成本也是一个限制，可以制定一个将电池租赁与电池充电结合起来的商业案例。例如，基于商业模式类型的解决方案，其中车辆、电池和充电站由一个实体所有，车辆或多或少沿着固定路线行驶，可以是电池交换模式，在温度控制的环境中快速充电，以防止电池退化。
这可以被城市交通公司用于城市公交车。另一个例子是，客户预期的服务水平可能会影响充电站的选择，其中客户为更好的服务水平(更短的停机时间)付费的倾向要高得多，而特斯拉超级充电站网络显示，在快速充电方面的投资很容易被证明是合理的。
最优充电网络策略
充电站的利用率将对运营商的投资回报率(ROI)产生巨大影响。我们的估计表明，在5-7年的诱人回收期中，如果要将电价保持在可行的范围内，电站利用率需要在60-70%以上。此外，充电站运营商还面临着多种挑战，例如更高的基础设施成本(土地、资本支出等)，可接受的质量水平的电力可用性，discoms设定的电价等。
虽然其中一些问题可以通过政府的政策措施来解决，如需求汇总、资本支出和运营成本补贴等，但其他问题可以通过基于车型的多因素分析来管理。电池类型以及商业模式因素，以确保创建最优的充电网络，一方面帮助运营商实现目标投资回报，另一方面为终端消费者提供便利性和服务水平，使电动汽车的使用像他们当前的移动选择一样方便。
我们相信，如果通过行业的明智投资和政府的支持来克服这些挑战，印度电动汽车充电行业将面临巨大的机遇。
到2030年，在印度建立充电站网络估计需要60亿美元的投资。这不仅将满足印度道路上数百万辆电动汽车的充电需求，还可能为经济创造100万个新的就业机会。

In line with our \u2018Nine game changers in the next decade for the Indian automotive industry<\/a> \u2018, Electric Vehicle is a big opportunity area. This is evident from the rising rate of sales of electric vehicles<\/a> India which have grown at a pace of 13% from FY18 to FY21. While this is largely driven by 2W and 3W segments, cars and buses too have begun to witness a rising trend in annual sales volumes. Although each segment will reach an inflexion point of adoption at its own pace depending on multiple supply and demand factors, what remains a common denominator across all vehicle segments to determine future rate of adoption, is a country wide and efficient network of charging stations.
EV charging in India<\/a><\/strong>
<\/div><\/div>EV charging network<\/a> in India is still at a nascent stage of development compared to other major auto markets. As per IEA (International Energy Agency), India accounted for 0.2% of global EV charger stock in 2019. While China was one of the frontrunners with 17 chargers per 100 electric vehicles running on road, India was still at 4.4 and the world average was 12.3 for the same year.
Of the current installed stock of 1,800 EV chargers in India, 95% are slow chargers. Going forward, depending on the vehicle type and the use case, a wide network of slow and fast chargers across multiple locations will need to be installed to cater to the rising number of electric vehicles on road.
Taking cognizance of this fact, the government has provided an outlay of INR 1,000 crore to incentivize setting up of charging infrastructure<\/a> and provisions have been made to provide up to 100% funding for the charging station. Multiple standards for slow and fast chargers have also been notified by the Ministry of Power to standardize the charging equipment.
However, to make sure the efforts of the government and the private sector are utilized in the most efficient manner, a comprehensive analysis of the need, type and location of charging infrastructure required for each vehicle category, is the imminent need of the hour.

However, to make sure the efforts of the government and the private sector are utilized in the most efficient manner, a comprehensive analysis of the need, type and location of charging infrastructure required for each vehicle category, is the imminent need of the hour.
<\/div><\/div>Charging locations<\/strong>
To cater to the charging requirements of different EV types, chargers need to be installed at multiple places. All these locations can be classified under 4 categories:
\uf0b7 Home charging: Consisting of individual homes and housing complexes.
\uf0b7 Institutional charging: Places with a defined aggregation of EVs such as office premises, depots, fleet operator parking lots etc.
\uf0b7 Destination charging: Commercial areas such as malls, airports, train stations etc. which serve as temporary destinations for different vehicle types.
\uf0b7 On-route charging: Inclusive of public charging stations akin to petrol, diesel and CNG filling stations, in cities and along highways.
Role of vehicle type<\/strong>
Vehicle operating parameters and usage conditions will determine the feasibility of one charging location over another for different vehicle categories. A 2W used for personal use differs from a 2W used for commercial use when it comes to charging requirements. While the former runs up to 20-30 km a day on an average and typically has a fixed commuting area, the latter has a higher running and a wider area of travel.
Therefore, a personal use 2W might need just one charge a day which can be provided at night at home using a slow charger while a commercial use 2W will require multiple charges per day of which at least one needs to be a fast charge at a destination, institution or on-route. Similar nuances are present in all vehicle categories such as cars whether taxis or personal, 3W, LCVs and buses.

<\/figure>
Role of the battery type in selection<\/strong>
The type and size of battery will also play a key role in determining the most optimum charging solution. Most EVs currently are equipped with an NMC (Nickel, Manganese and Cobalt) or an LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery. Both these battery types provide a cost effective solution with a desired level of performance, however, they can accommodate charging rates only up to 1C (although some LFPs are also taking of 3C).
This means that for higher capacity batteries, it will be not be feasible to have multiple charges a day using slow chargers. On the other hand, battery chemistries such as LTO (Lithium Titanate Oxide) provide very high charging rates. Even a higher capacity battery can be quickly charged in minutes with a fast charger. The higher pricing of LTO currently has, however, resulted in lower usage in mobility applications.
A use case might emerge wherein a low capacity LTO battery can be installed in commercial vehicles and the consequent reduction in range can be compensated by the quick charge capability, thereby maintaining the daily running with minimum downtime
Battery type & size to determine charging solution
<\/strong>
<\/figure>
Role of the business model factors<\/strong>
Other parameters which will have an impact on determining the need, nature and location of charging are battery ownership, tariff rates of electricity, availability of parking space, customer preference, charging station utilization, service levels expected by the consumer, etc. Charging stations business can encompass a variety of business models with varied levels of asset ownerships as well.
For EV user segments like public 3Ws etc. wherein the upfront cost of the vehicle is also a constraint, a business case can be formulated that combines battery leasing along with charging of batteries. E.g. a solution based on the business model type wherein the vehicle, the battery and the charging station is owned by one entity and the vehicle moves in more or less a fixed route, could be battery swap model with fast charging of batteries in a temperature controlled environment to prevent battery degradation.
This could be employed for city buses by the city transport corporations. Another example wherein the service levels expected by customers could influence the choice of charging stations is luxury cars wherein the customer\u2019s propensity to pay for a better service level (lower down time) is much higher and the investments in fast charging would be easily justified as shown by the Tesla Supercharger network.
The optimal charging network strategy
<\/strong>
Charging station utilization will have a huge bearing on the return on investment (ROI) for the operator. Our estimates suggest that for an attractive payback period of 5-7 years, station utilization needs to be upwards of 60-70% if tariffs are to be kept in a feasible range. In addition, there are multiple challenges faced by a charging station operator e.g. higher infrastructure cost (land, capex etc.), availability of electricity at acceptable quality levels, tariff rates set by discoms etc.
While a few of them can be overcome through policy measures by the govt. such as demand aggregation, capex and opex subsidies etc., others can be managed by undertaking multi-factor analysis based on the vehicle type, the battery type as well as the business model factors to ensure the most optimal charging network can be created which on the one hand helps the operators reach the targeted returns on investment and on the other provides end consumers with the convenience and service levels that make the use of EVs as convenient as their current mobility options.
We believe that if these challenges are overcome through smart investing by the industry and support from the government, there is a huge opportunity that awaits the EV charging industry in India.
An estimated investment of USD 6 billion will be required by 2030 to set up the network of charging stations in India. This will not only serve the charging needs of millions of EVs on Indian roads but will also have a potential to generate a million new jobs for the economy.
