Electric mobility: Towards a fully ‘charged up’ parking space in gated communities
Gated communities in India are increasingly adopting EV charging infrastructure to meet government mandates and resident demand. Builders are learning to balance the need for personalized charging points with the evolving technical requirements of different electric vehicles.
Why it matters
This reflects the infrastructure challenges and progress in urban residential areas as EV adoption scales in India.
When a large apartment complex goes big on EV adoption, providing a dedicated charging point at every parking slot, the move will have far-reaching benefits. For one, it would give impetus to the Tamil Nadu government’s October 2025 mandate requiring charging point for every individual car and two-wheeler parking space in residential buildings.
Here are two builders who saw the need for personalised charging points even before the State Government came up with this mandate.
In 2022-23, Radiance Group announced launch of the 234-unit Radiance Majestic in Valasaravakkam with one feature embossed: a one-to-one charger to parking ratio. Eight months ago when residents started occupying the flats, they were happy the builder had made good the promise.
