EV charger prices in India range from about ₹8,000 for a basic home AC unit to ₹25 lakh or more for a high-power DC fast charger. A 7.2 kW to 7.4 kW smart home wallbox is commonly listed from about ₹21,000 to ₹55,000, with installation adding roughly ₹5,000 to ₹16,000. This guide breaks down the price by charger type, explains why quotes differ so much, shows what installation really costs, and helps you choose an EV charger company. All figures are published estimates, not quotes.
EV charger price in India by type

Ranges come from several published guides and product listings and differ between sources. They exclude installation, electrical upgrades and civil work. Always get an itemised quote.
Why EV charger prices differ so much
- Power rating: higher kW costs more.
- Smart features: app control, RFID, scheduling, load management and OCPP raise the price.
- Build and protection: weatherproofing, enclosure quality and built-in safety features.
- Brand and warranty: established brands and longer warranties cost more.
- What the price includes: some guides quote the unit alone and others include installation, so compare like with like.
Installation cost: what you pay on top
Standard home installation commonly adds about ₹5,000 to ₹16,000 to the price of the unit. It can cost more if you need:
- A long cable run from your meter or distribution board to the parking spot.
- New breakers, RCCB or earthing, or a distribution board upgrade.
- A three-phase connection for 11 kW or 22 kW units.
- A load increase or fees from your electricity distribution company (DISCOM).
Putting a number to a full home setup: guides quote total budgets of roughly ₹30,000 to ₹85,000 for a 7.2 kW wallbox including installation. For the full process, including society permission and meter options, read our guide to installing an EV charger at home in India.
Do not pay for more charger than your car can use
A charger can only deliver what your car accepts. A 22 kW AC charger feeding a car with a 7.2 kW onboard charger still charges at 7.2 kW. Most Indian EVs accept about 3.3 kW to 11 kW on AC, so a 7.2 kW to 7.4 kW wallbox is the sensible choice for most owners. Check your car's specification and its connector first. See EV Charging Connector Types in India. Also check whether your carmaker already includes a wall charger with the purchase.
Commercial and DC fast charger prices
For hotels, offices and societies, commercial AC chargers cost roughly ₹35,000 to ₹1.2 lakh per unit. For DC fast charging, 30 kW to 60 kW hardware is commonly quoted at about ₹3 lakh to ₹10 lakh, and high-power chargers at up to ₹25 lakh or more. A complete charging station costs more than the charger, because it also needs a grid connection, possibly a transformer, civil work, software and branding.

How to choose an EV charger company
- Match the charger to your use: 7.2 kW to 7.4 kW AC for homes, 7 kW to 22 kW AC for hotels and offices, 30 kW and above DC for fast charging.
- Check compliance: chargers should meet Indian BIS standards. Ask for certificates.
- Check connectors: Type 2 for AC and CCS2 for DC for most cars.
- Ask about software: OCPP support helps commercial buyers avoid vendor lock-in.
- Compare warranty and service: find out who services your city and how fast.
- Get itemised quotes from at least three companies, covering hardware, installation and any grid work.
- Ask for references and visit a live installation.
