Fast chargers are crucial for commercial charging points, where they can charge an EV up to 80 percent in as little as half an hour. In contrast, slow chargers, which are typically found in homes, can take 10-12 hours to fully charge a car. EV batteries are charged with DC current, and fast chargers directly supply DC current to the EV. In contrast, EV chargers installed in homes first convert the AC power coming from the grid into DC power, and then charge the EV battery.
Exicom is a leading manufacturer of EV chargers in India. As of early this year, it has a 60 percent market share in the home charging space, and a 25 percent market share in the commercial charging space. The company listed on the stock markets earlier this year, and currently commands a market cap of Rs. 3,200 crore.
