What we do

Hardware, firmware, software and mechanical, in-house.

One team covers every discipline a product needs, so nothing gets lost between suppliers.

01

Power electronics

Power stages for charging and vehicle systems, from on-board chargers to high-power DC.

  • 1.2 kW on-board chargers for e-2W and e-3W
  • DC fast-charger power systems
  • High-power work with ST Microelectronics
02

Embedded firmware and software

Firmware for the hardware we design, and the software that connects it.

  • Charger firmware and OCPP stacks
  • Payment flows and mobile apps
  • Fleet and charger management software
03

PCB and product design

Schematics, board layout and the enclosure around them, designed for manufacture.

  • Schematic capture and PCB layout
  • Enclosure and mechanical design
  • Wiring and assembly drawings
04

Prototyping and testing

Working prototypes built and validated in our lab before volume production.

  • Functional and safety testing
  • Checks against IEC and IS standards
  • OCPP testing against our own CMS

Since 2016

A decade of EV engineering.

Our R&D began as a proof of concept at IIT Delhi. These are the milestones since.

  1. 2016

    Foundations & First Prototype

    Stepped into the international market; developed Solar Organic Cells at KIT, Germany. Technology partnership with The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) for Solar Micro Grid and Biomass Energy. Built EV DC Fast Charger Proof-of-Concept for electric three-wheelers at IIT Delhi.

  2. 2017

    India's First Public EV Charger Tender

    Incubated at Electropreneur Park, University of Delhi. Won EESL's tender for Bharat AC-001 chargers — India's first public EV charger tender — and installed chargers at the Ministry of Power, Shram Shakti Bhawan, MNRE and SDMC parking.

  3. 2018

    National Launch & Battery Swapping

    EVIT charger showcased at the National Launch of the Electric Mobility Programme by the Ministry of Power and EESL. Built a battery swapping station for Murata, Japan, and released the 2nd-generation charger for electric three-wheelers.

  4. 2019

    National Rollout Begins

    150+ charging points across ~10 states. Tie-up with Napino Auto & Electronics as manufacturing partner and Murata, Japan for battery technology. Tie-up with BSNL for 5,000 PAN India locations and MoU with CSC for 25,000 PAN India locations.

  5. 2020

    Battery Swapping & High Power

    Battery swapping solution introduced with Micromax and Napino as R&D team. AC (CCS) Type 2 and home-charger development. Indigenous OCPP-based Charger Management Central System launched. 1.2 kW on-board chargers for electric 2W and 3W. Signed with ST Microelectronics for joint high-power system development.

  6. 2022

    2,100-Charger Order from BECIL

    Purchase order from Broadcast Engineering Consultants India Ltd (BECIL), a Government of India enterprise, for the design, supply, maintenance and CMS software of 2,100 EV chargers. Every lot was inspected by SGS as third-party inspector.

  7. Today

    5,000+ Chargers · 20+ States

    Over 5,000 EV chargers deployed under the "EVI Technologies" brand and on white-label in more than 20 states across India, covering e-2W, e-3W and e-4W.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Who do you take on R&D projects for?

Companies, research institutions and public bodies. Past work includes a DC CCS charger controller for BHEL R&D, a battery swapping station for Murata, Japan, and joint high-power development with ST Microelectronics.

Can you take a design from prototype to production?

Yes. We design and prototype at IIT Delhi’s Research & Innovation Park, and manufacture in volume with Napino Auto & Electronics, so a design never has to leave India to reach production.

Which standards do you design to?

Our charging work follows IEC and IS 17017 standards and the AIS-138 test specifications, and our controllers support OCPP 1.6J with an architecture ready for OCPP 2.0.1, ISO 15118 and V2G.

What does a project need to get started?
