Static has introduced a portable electric vehicle (EV) charger, designed to improve access to home and on-the-go charging, as EV adoption continues to expand across India.
The portable charger delivers 3.3 kW AC output and is compatible with the standard 16A three-pin socket, allowing users to charge their vehicles without the need for a dedicated installation. It also has adjustable current settings from 6A to 16A, enabling compatibility with various household electrical capacities. The device is priced at ₹14,999 under the introductory offer and will be available through the company’s online channels as well as leading e-commerce platforms.
According to company estimates, the launch comes at a time when home charging penetration in India is limited to about 55%. This gap is presenting challenges for EV owners, especially in urban residential environments where dedicated charging infrastructure is often unavailable.
The portable EV charger includes several safety features, including residual current protection and weather-resistant construction, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Additionally, it includes a built-in display that provides real-time charging data, as well as a timer function that allows users to schedule charging during off-peak hours.
Industry observers say portable EV charging solutions are gaining momentum as an interim option in markets where fixed charging infrastructure is still developing. These devices can act as either a primary charging option or a backup solution, especially for users who do not have access to private charging stations.
