Electric vehicles are no longer just a theoretical vision for India’s roads—they are becoming a vibrant reality. Charge Point Operator (CPO’s}, have already taken a pivotal step in this green revolution by deciding to set up EV charging stations. The journey ahead looks promising because of rising EV adoption, supportive government policies, and increased investment in the sector.
You want to offer your customers fast, reliable charging that fits their busy lives. As a CPO, you face real challenges in multiple areas. The most important among these are:
- Ensuring high uptime so that chargers are always ready when customers arrive
- Providing quick charging speeds to minimize wait times and keep traffic flowing
- Serving multiple vehicles simultaneously with smart power management
- Delivering a simple, transparent user experience that builds loyalty through convenience
- Minimizing maintenance and other operational costs to protect margins in a competitive market
Many existing DC fast chargers fall short of these requirements, leading to frustrated users, lost revenue, and operational headaches. But these challenges are not roadblocks; they are opportunities for innovation.

- Result: Shorter wait times, higher throughput, and more satisfied customers returning again and again.
Load Management that maximizes utilization
- Dynamic Load Sharing (DLS) intelligently allocates power between connectors enabling multiple vehicles to charge efficiently at the same time.
- Result: Higher serviceability at lower number of charging units, leading to direct boost in profitability of the site.
High uptime that builds reliability and revenue
- Harmony Direct 2.0 has predictive maintenance, which monitors key components (like AC/DC contactors and gun insertion cycles) through sensors and algorithms to prevent downtime before it happens.
- HarmonyConnect RMS platform provides real-time monitoring and remote diagnostics to detect issues accurately. A smart, automatic alarm and notification system ensures each issue is escalated and resolved quickly. Complete visibility of issues is available to CPOs and users through highly analytical dashboard synced on the app and display panel.
- Result: Achieves uptime above 97%, ensuring your station is always ready to serve to maximize revenue potential.
Energy efficiency that protects your bottom line
- Very low standby power consumption minimizes wasted energy.
- Minimizes reactive power loss through intelligent architecture leads to 14-20% less wastage of electricity.
- Result: Lower operational costs, improved profitability, and a greener footprint aligned with India’s sustainability goals.
UI/UX That Delights and Engages
- Modern 10” touchscreen UI with multilingual support (Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil) makes charging accessible to a very wide user base.
- LED State of Charge indicators provide clear, real-time updates for transparency.
- Flexible authentication simplifies and speeds up access. Users can plug in first and then authenticate, or authenticate first and then plug in, leading to minimal to and fro. The availability of multiple authentication options like RFID, QR code, mobile app makes this even more adaptive.
- Result: Intuitive design accommodates users with diverse needs and preferences.
Ergonomics that make everything easy
- Dual arm cable lifting with mechanical retraction makes handling heavy cables effortless for your users
