Electric-vehicle users in Kerala are calling for uniform charging tariffs, saying prices differ substantially between stations and operators. They also report that peak-hour rates can be especially costly, with some fast-charging facilities charging as much as ₹25 per kilowatt-hour during those periods.

Electric-vehicle users in Kerala have called for greater consistency in charging tariffs across the state, saying the prices they pay depend significantly on the station and operator they use. Users say the differences are considerable, making it difficult for EV owners to predict charging costs. The concern applies particularly to fast-charging facilities, where rates can vary between locations.

Peak-hour charging has emerged as a specific point of concern. According to users, some fast-charging stations charge as much as ₹25 per kilowatt-hour during peak periods. The users’ demand is for a more uniform tariff structure.

The source material does not specify whether any government department, regulator or charging operator has responded to the call.
