Responsibility
Following finalisation of e-bus specification, fleet size in the depot/ terminal and charging requirement, the public bus transport agencies or depot operator in consultation with Charger OEMs and or Bus OEMs, shall determine the required number, type, rating of charging equipment and associated infrastructure. Based on the charger ratings and total number of chargers, the connected electrical load shall be assessed and submitted to the DISCOM, which shall be responsible for planning, approving, and provisioning the requisite upstream electrical infrastructure, including transformers and substations. Other aspects for consideration for safe and efficient operation of the charging system are brought out herein:
Following communication of the connected load requirement, site details and charger specification (type, rating, quantity and related parameters) to the DISCOM, the planning, design and provisioning of the sub-station, transformers, switch gears and associated upstream electrical infrastructure shall be the responsibility of the DISCOM. The downstream electrical connections from the DISCOM transformer up to the charging equipment within the depot/terminal shall be undertaken by the public bus transport agencies in close coordination with the DISCOM. On the depot/terminal side, the charging system shall comply with the following applicable standards among others.
