02
THE OPPORTUNITY
The inflection has already happened.
~6L
Electric 4-wheelers on India’s roads
+77%
Year-on-year passenger EV sales growth
4L+
Public chargers projected to be needed by 2030
Every one of those cars needs somewhere reliable to charge.
That somewhere is a physical asset, and it can be owned by you.
A BIGGER CLEANER INDIA
03
THE OPPORTUNITY
Cars are compounding.
Chargers are not.
WHAT THE GAP MEANS
≈ 9 EVs
per public charge point by 2030, even if the 4 lakh target is met in full.
≈ 75,000
charge points to be added every year, for five straight years, to get there.
Somebody funds those. The FOCO model is how you take a share of it without operating one.
04
THE OPPORTUNITY
This is infrastructure, not retail.
01
Revenue is metered, not negotiated
Every rupee is tied to a kilowatt-hour that a meter recorded. There is no inventory, no spoilage, no discounting war at the counter.
02
Demand is structural, not seasonal
EV owners do not stop charging in a slow quarter. Throughput tracks the vehicle parc in the catchment, which only moves one way.
03
Costs are known before you commit
Grid tariff, site share, maintenance and platform costs are contracted upfront. The variable that matters is utilisation, and site selection is where that is won.
04
The asset outlives the payback
A DC charger has an 8–10 year working life against an indicative payback inside 36 months. The back half of that life is the return.
05
THE MODEL
Three parties.
One clean split.
YOU
The partner
Deploy capital from ₹5,00,000
Hold title to the charging asset
Optionally offer your own land
Receive a monthly payout
No staff, no licences, no operating role
EVBEZ
The operator
Site sourcing and feasibility
Supply, install and commission
Branding, app listing, marketing
24×7 monitoring and maintenance
Billing, settlement, reporting
THE DRIVER
The customer
Finds the point in the app
Charges on CCS2 at 30–120 kW
Pays by UPI, card or RFID
Rates the site, which drives repeat use
Funds the whole arrangement
HOW VALUE MOVES

03
Drivers

IN ONE SENTENCE
You own a revenue-generating charging asset without ever having to run a charging station.

THE MODEL

11
THE ECONOMICS
How a kilowatt-hour becomes a rupee.
YOUR CONTRACTED BASIS
₹5.00
per kWh dispensed
Paid on metered throughput, not on station profit — so operating overruns sit with EVBEZ, not with you.
Reviewed annually against the prevailing state grid tariff, within a ₹4.50–₹5.50 band.
Illustrative tariff stack. Retail tariff, grid tariff and site share vary by state and site; the figures above are the EVBEZ base case.

THE VARIABLE THAT DECIDES ALL THREE
Every scenario above is the same charger at a different level of use. Which is why site selection, not hardware, is where this is won.
RISK REGISTER
Utilisation falls short of the model
Site scoring before commitment; EVBEZ relocates an underperforming unit at its own cost after month 12.
₹
Grid tariff rises
Retail tariff is repriced; your basis is a ₹-per-kWh figure reviewed annually, not a share of a squeezed margin.
Hardware fails
3-year OEM warranty, AMC thereafter, spare-part SLA and remote diagnostics with auto-restart.
Technology moves on
Open OCPP 1.6J rather than a locked protocol; 60 kW units are field-upgradable to 120 kW.
You need to exit early
Asset is assignable to a third party from year 2 with consent; buy-back at written-down value available from year 3.
THE PARTNERSHIP
Charge management system
OCPP 1.6J CMS with live session data, remote start and stop, firmware push and per-connector diagnostics.
The EVBEZ driver app
Discovery, live availability, navigation, session control and digital receipts — the demand side of your asset.
Payments and settlement
UPI, card and RFID at the point; reconciled centrally and settled to you monthly.
Monitoring and response
24×7 remote monitoring with auto-restart on fault, escalating to a field visit under an SLA.
Preventive maintenance
Scheduled service visits, connector inspection, filter and fan checks, insulation testing.
Your reporting
Live dashboard access plus a monthly statement: sessions, kWh, revenue, downtime and payout.
