India’s New Wireless EV Charger Could Change the Game. Here’s Why It Matters.

Which Charging Method is Better for Me: Plug & Charge or Autocharge?

When you think of fast EV charging, companies like BYD or Exponent Energy probably come to mind. BYD has been setting benchmarks with its blade battery and charging tech. Exponent Energy, a homegrown name, grabbed headlines by enabling EVs to charge from 0 to 100% in under 15 minutes. These advancements have made one thing clear—charging speed isn’t just a spec; it’s a deciding factor for EV adoption.

Now, there’s another exciting update on the charging front, and this time, it’s not from a private company. It’s coming straight from India’s public research ecosystem. A wireless EV charger developed indigenously by the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), in collaboration with VNIT Nagpur, has been announced. And no, this isn’t just a prototype collecting dust in a lab. It’s already being commercialised.

The Charger Everyone’s Talking About

This new 1.5 kW wireless charger can juice up 90% of a 4.8 kWh EV battery in about 3 hours, all using a regular single-phase 230V AC power supply. That makes it ideal for two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and small electric cars. Think of it as an invisible cable—you just park and the charging begins, no plugging in, no hassle.

The charger uses Silicon Carbide-based MOSFETs, which means higher efficiency and less energy loss. It has achieved a maximum efficiency of 89.4%, even with a coil separation of 12.5 cm, making it practical for real-world deployment.

Why This Is a Big Deal

India’s EV industry has made progress in battery manufacturing and vehicle assembly, but power electronics—the heart of fast and efficient charging—was still largely imported. That’s changing with this development.

The wireless charger isn’t just about convenience. It’s a symbol of self-reliance in core technology. The charger will now be brought to market by Global Business Solution Pvt. Ltd., thanks to a tech transfer facilitated under the NaMPET programme by the Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY).

This isn’t an isolated move either. It’s part of a larger push by MeitY to back indigenous innovation in power electronics. At the same event where the charger was announced, technologies for electric locomotive propulsion systems and green power solutions for buildings were also introduced.

But Is 1.5 kW Fast Enough?

Let’s be honest—1.5 kW isn’t going to turn heads in the world of long-distance travel or highway pit stops. Fast-charging networks usually operate at 30–50 kW (or even 150+ kW for premium EVs). But that’s not the point here.

This tech is aimed at urban use cases, where smaller EVs dominate. If you live in an apartment complex, park your scooter or three-wheeler overnight, and wake up to a full battery without fiddling with cables—that’s a big win.

Also, wireless tech can be a game-changer in public charging spots, where maintenance, vandalism, and weather exposure often cause issues. No exposed cables = fewer problems.

A Push for Sustainability and Independence

This charger is part of India’s larger vision to reduce import dependency and promote Make in India and Aatmanirbhar Bharat goals. India currently imports about 80–90% of its EV power electronics, and shifting even part of that to local solutions could save costs, improve availability, and open up new jobs in manufacturing and R&D.

What’s also interesting is that this development didn’t come from a startup with venture backing or a big automotive player. It came from public research institutions, in partnership with state-level innovation councils like Kerala’s K-DISC.

That matters. Because when government-led research results in commercial products, it shows that public investment is starting to yield visible, real-world impact.

Final Thoughts

This is more than just a tech announcement. It’s a moment that shows India is not just catching up, it’s shaping the future of EVs. For startups, OEMs, and even users like you and me, it’s time to start thinking beyond cables.
