Could there be a structured training program for setting up EV charging stations? I live in Chandigarh, India. City has been adopted as a Solar City to maximize use of renewable energy of which EV charging stations is one of the area. I am of the opinion that each EV charging station must be a hybrid system with atleast 15KW of solar power generation with a pit mounted energy storage. Ideally panels should be mounted on a column preferably with a tracker to maximize generation. lt should be possible to charge the EV using prepaid smart card. I assume 5KWH charging in about 15 minutes will suffice. it should be possible to charge 4 EVs at a time parked at 90 degree around the column.

Ravinder, Good thinking. In the USA where I live very few charging stations have Solar PV shade or Battery Storage. Many are trying for fast and faster DC Charging which really starins the GRID. They have 250 ,350 kW and still want faster charging.

   My wife and I worked in Mumbai for reliance building the country wide cellular network. We loved the pure veg in many places since we are vegan. I got to see only one Electric REVA vehicle while we were there. I think they are made in Bangalore so there would have been more of them in that city.

    Good luck with your project. As more Electrics appear your idea will show to be a perfect solution. Give us an update when you get your first locations in and working. tk tk
