Most Western clean-energy reporting takes a very specific picture of home charging for granted. You pull into a private driveway, plug into an attached garage wall-box, and pull cheap power while you sleep.

AI Summary

In most Indian metros, 70% to 75% of urban households live in multi‑family apartments or cooperative housing societies, according to Kazam and the Alliance for an Energy Efficient Economy. Parking for residents is typically an open ground‑level slot or a space two levels down in a concrete basement. When a resident purchases an electric vehicle, the primary obstacle is not battery health or highway charging infrastructure but the building’s own layout and electrical capacity. The lack of dedicated charging points and limited space in these high‑rise structures creates a significant engineering challenge for home EV charging.
