The 60-second version
EV charger subsidy varies by state — Delhi, Maharashtra, and Karnataka offer partial capex rebate on approved chargers. I apply via DISCOM portal within 90 days of vehicle registration.
Subsidy needs approved charger model — not any wall box
Returning families buying EV need load enhancement from DISCOM before 7 kW home charger — society NOC for dedicated parking bay.
State subsidies stack on top of FAME II OEM benefits — home charger rebate is separate from vehicle purchase incentive.
GST on EV supply equipment is 5% — installation may attract 18% if bundled as civil works; split invoice where possible.
Power stack: electricity connection guide.
EV charger lanes by type

| 7 kW AC wallbox | ₹50k–90k installed | State DISCOM rebate |
| 15A socket slow charge | ₹5k–15k | Usually no subsidy |
| Society common charger | CAPEX shared | RWA applies bulk |
| Load enhancement | ₹3k–25k | DISCOM tariff revision |
| DC fast home | Rare residential | Generally ineligible |
