The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has approved India’s first ever indigenously developed AC and DC Combined Charging connector standard for light electric vehicles (LEVs).
This is also the world’s first-ever combined AC and DC charging connector standard for light electric vehicles.
This standard has been designed and developed in India, which can become a global benchmark.
NITI Aayog, the Department of Science and Technology, ARAI, EV makers, and the Bureau of Indian Standards came together to develop this national standard.
This standard will help to create an open ecosystem, which will increase faster adoption of EVs across the world.
It will help in implementing a charging system that will support Indian Innovation.
A combined AC and DC charging connector will ensure all forms of charging for light electric vehicles i.e. fast charging or slow charging.
