Latest developments in Electric Vehicles have brought a new set of challenges not only for vehicle manufacturers and component suppliers; but also for regulatory and standardization bodies around the world. The conventional low voltage lead acid batteries are being complimented with high voltage Lithium ion batteries in various configurations of hybrid and full Electric Vehicles. While providing much higher energy density, the new battery chemistries such as Li-ion are less tolerant to abuse during charge — discharge regimes. The charging infrastructure-often categorized as on-board or off-board, conductive or inductive, direct current based or alternate current based is challenged with intensified demand towards safety and reliability. In the Indian context, since the industry is in its early state of maturity, we see lot of confusion and lack of regulatory requirements. This paper is a research compilation of various regulatory requirements for charger development, installation and maintenance. This paper aims at providing one stop information to component suppliers and suggesting regulatory bodies to adapt the standardization framework to bring homogeneity in Indian market.
