It is a desk estimate on an assumed rectangular plot, from the same engines our engineers use for proposals. Cable runs, the transformer and civil work can move the cost by about a quarter either way. The site survey replaces these ranges with the figures for your actual site.

From our live price list, the same prices shown on the charger pages, before GST. Everything else in the cost (cabling, panels, earthing, civil work, the DISCOM connection) is priced from the rates our engineers use.

The power the chargers draw, against the load your state's DISCOM supplies on a low-tension connection. Above that limit the site needs a transformer and an HT connection, which is the biggest single cost outside the chargers. The estimate names the limit and the rule it comes from.

The Ministry of Power's 2024 charging guidelines cap the service charge on DC charging at a fixed amount per unit over the electricity cost. The slider stops at that cap for your state.

No. A quotation needs the site measured. The site survey gives drawings and a cost estimate for your plot; the Project report adds the demand study, revenue and years to break even, with every assumption written down.

Nothing is stored. The answers are used to work out the estimate and shown back to you. We only keep your details if you book a site study or ask us to call you.

An engineer visits, measures the site and checks the power. You get drawings and costs for your actual site, and with the Project report, the payback.
