Application of Value Methodology of Making Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Cost Efficient in India

Author(s) Peeyush Anshu
Country India
Abstract India’s electric vehicle (EV) revolution is gaining momentum, but the high cost of charging infrastructure remains a critical barrier to widespread adoption. This paper presents a structured application of the Value Methodology (VM) to improve the cost efficiency of EV charging infrastructure in India without compromising functionality, quality, or performance. A multidisciplinary team conducted a value study incorporating key VM phases—Information, Function Analysis, Creative, Evaluation, and Development—to examine current infrastructure designs and deployment models.
Using Function Analysis System Technique (FAST) diagrams and life-cycle cost analysis, the team identified high-cost drivers such as land usage, redundant structural elements, and over-specified electrical components. Creative alternatives, including modular station designs, shared grid connections, and integrated solar power systems, were evaluated for feasibility and value improvement. The study resulted in proposed solutions yielding potential cost savings of 25–30%, while maintaining essential performance criteria.
Stakeholder involvement—government bodies, utility providers, OEMs, and end-users—was critical in aligning value objectives and implementation pathways. The study concludes that VM is an effective tool for balancing cost, function, and stakeholder expectations in infrastructure planning. This paper contributes a replicable model for applying VM to large-scale public utility projects in emerging markets, supporting India’s broader sustainability and electrification goals.
