1. BUSINESS CONCEPT
The QI Highway Premium EV & Battery Hub is designed as a multi-revenue EV destination rather than a charging-only facility.
The centre combines:
- 🚗 Electric Car Fast Charging
- 🛵 Electric Bike/Scooter Charging
- 🛺 Electric Auto/E-Rickshaw Charging
- 🛠️ EV Service & Repair Centre
- 🔄 Battery Exchange
- 🔬 Battery Health Testing & Diagnostics
- 📱 Digital Customer/Charging Management
- 🪧 Highway Branding & Visibility
The objective is to generate revenue from multiple EV-related services at the same location.

3. CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE
🚗 Electric Cars
4 Car Charging Bays
2 × 60 kW DC Fast Chargers
Plus:
2 × AC Car Charging Points
This provides a combination of high-speed and destination charging.
🛵 Electric Bikes & Scooters
8 Charging Points
Designed for QI electric two-wheelers and compatible EVs.
🛺 Electric Autos / E-Rickshaws
6 Charging Points
Designed for QI three-wheelers and compatible vehicles.
TOTAL INITIAL CHARGING CAPACITY
🚗 Cars: 4 Bays
🛵 Bikes/Scooters: 8 Points
🛺 Autos/E-Rickshaws: 6 Points
18 Charging Bays/Points
The final number of simultaneously active charging points and their power ratings must be confirmed against the sanctioned electrical load and the specifications of the vehicles/chargers.
4. WHY TWO 60 kW DC CHARGERS?
Instead of relying on a single high-power charger, the QI Highway model uses:
2 × 60 kW DC Fast Chargers
This provides:
- Better charger availability
- Reduced risk of total downtime
- Ability to serve multiple highway customers
- Better peak-period capacity
- Scope for future expansion
A charger with multiple connectors may share available power between vehicles, so the final technical configuration should specify charger power, connector count and simultaneous output separately.
5. 🛠️ EV SERVICE CENTRE
The service centre creates a second major revenue stream.
Services can include:
- EV periodic servicing
- Motor diagnostics
- Controller diagnostics
- Battery diagnostics
- Brake service
- Suspension
- Tyre and puncture service
- Electrical repairs
- Wiring and electrical troubleshooting
- Spare parts replacement
- Emergency highway assistance
- Software/diagnostic support
- 2W and 3W EV servicing
Revenue Sources
Labour Charges + Spare Parts Margin + Diagnostics + Paid Repairs + Service Packages
6. 🔄 BATTERY EXCHANGE CENTRE
Battery exchange is designed as a major additional revenue stream.
QI model:
Customer arrives
↓
Battery Health Check
↓
Battery Exchange Valuation
↓
Replacement Battery Order
↓
Warehouse Dispatch
↓
Customer Receives Replacement Battery
The centre does not need to maintain a large inventory of replacement batteries under the proposed warehouse-fulfilment model.
This can reduce working-capital requirements and inventory risk.
7. 🔬 BATTERY HEALTH TESTING CENTRE
Every used battery can be assessed before exchange, resale or further processing.
Proposed diagnostic process:
Battery Identification
↓
Voltage Test
↓
BMS Diagnostics
↓
Cell Voltage Balance
↓
Capacity / SOH Assessment
↓
Physical & Safety Inspection
↓
Digital Battery Health Report
8. BATTERY GRADING SYSTEM
🟢 Grade A
High State of Health
Potentially suitable for continued EV use, subject to technical assessment.
🟡 Grade B
Moderate State of Health
Potentially suitable for appropriate second-life applications, subject to assessment.
🟠 Grade C
Lower State of Health
Limited reuse potential; technical evaluation required.
🔴 Unsafe / Damaged
Not for resale or reuse.
Should be handled through the appropriate authorised battery waste/recycling channel.
These grades are proposed QI business classifications and should not be represented as statutory standards.
9. BATTERY EXCHANGE REVENUE MODEL
Example only:
Customer Exchange Price: ₹12,000
Warehouse/Landed Cost: ₹10,000
Gross Margin:
₹2,000 per battery
If the centre handles:
6 exchanges/day
6 × ₹2,000 × 26 days
₹3.12 Lakhs/month Gross Margin
Annual:
₹37.44 Lakhs/year Gross Margin
This is an illustrative assumption, not a guaranteed margin. Actual profitability depends on QI’s warehouse price, customer price, logistics, taxes and franchise agreement.
10. BATTERY HEALTH TESTING REVENUE
Illustrative assumption:
12 tests/day
Average testing fee:
₹300
12 × ₹300 × 26 days
₹93,600/month
Annual:
₹11.23 Lakhs
Actual testing fees and test duration will depend on the battery type and diagnostic equipment.
11. 🔋 CHARGING REVENUE PROJECTION
Illustrative base-case assumption:
Electric Cars
25 charging sessions/day
Average billing: ₹450
25 × ₹450 × 26
= ₹2.93 Lakhs/month
Electric Bikes/Scooters
35 sessions/day
Average billing: ₹80
35 × ₹80 × 26
= ₹72,800/month
Electric Autos
25 sessions/day
Average billing: ₹130
25 × ₹130 × 26
= ₹84,500/month
Total Estimated Charging Revenue
≈ ₹4.51 Lakhs/month
Annual:
≈ ₹54.1 Lakhs/year
This is gross charging revenue, before electricity and other operating costs.
12. 🛠️ SERVICE CENTRE REVENUE
Illustrative assumption:
10 vehicles/day
Average service invoice:
₹1,000
10 × ₹1,000 × 26
₹2.60 Lakhs/month
Annual:
₹31.20 Lakhs/year
The actual service contribution depends on parts cost, technician wages, warranty work and labour margins.
13. MONTHLY BUSINESS POTENTIAL
| Revenue / Contribution Stream | Monthly |
|---|---|
| 🔋 Charging Revenue | ₹4.51 L |
| 🛠️ Service Revenue | ₹2.60 L |
| 🔄 Battery Exchange Gross Margin | ₹3.12 L |
| 🔬 Battery Testing Revenue | ₹0.94 L |
| Indicative Combined Business Inflow/Contribution | ₹11.17 L |
Important:
This ₹11.17 lakh is not net profit.
Charging and service figures are gross revenue, while the battery exchange figure is an assumed gross margin. A proper P&L must separately account for electricity, spare parts, labour, logistics, taxes and operating expenses.
14. ESTIMATED CONTRIBUTION
Illustrative planning assumptions:
| Business | Estimated Monthly Contribution |
|---|---|
| 🔋 Charging | ₹1.70–2.00 L |
| 🛠️ Service | ₹1.10–1.30 L |
| 🔄 Battery Exchange | ₹3.12 L |
| 🔬 Battery Testing | ~₹0.70 L |
| Total Contribution | ₹6.62–7.12 L |
15. MONTHLY OPERATING EXPENSES
Indicative expenses:
- Staff salaries
- Centre manager
- Electricity
- Maintenance
- Software/platform charges
- Security
- Cleaning
- Internet
- Marketing
- Insurance
- Administrative expenses
- Consumables
- Equipment maintenance
Estimated range:
₹1.50–2.00 Lakhs/month
Actual rent/lease is excluded and must be added if applicable.
16. PROJECTED OPERATING PROFIT
Conservative Scenario
₹1.5–2.0 Lakhs/month
Base / Target Scenario
₹2.5–3.5 Lakhs/month
High-Traffic Scenario
₹4.5–5.5+ Lakhs/month
The high-traffic scenario requires strong highway traffic, good charger utilization and substantial battery-exchange volumes.
17. ANNUAL PROFIT POTENTIAL
Conservative
₹1.5 L × 12
≈ ₹18 Lakhs/year
Base
₹3.0 L × 12
≈ ₹36 Lakhs/year
High
₹5.0 L × 12
≈ ₹60 Lakhs/year
These are operating-profit planning scenarios, before financing costs, income tax, depreciation and other accounting adjustments.
18. INVESTMENT PAYBACK
Total Core Investment:
₹35 Lakhs
If the centre achieves an average operating profit of:
₹3 Lakhs/month
Mathematical payback:
₹35L ÷ ₹3L ≈ 12 months
However, a new highway centre will normally require a ramp-up period.
Therefore, for investor/franchise marketing, I recommend:
Indicative Practical Payback: 18–24 Months
Conservative case:
24–36+ months
Actual payback will depend heavily on utilization and battery-exchange margins.
19. PHASE-2 GREEN ENERGY UPGRADE
After the core highway business is operational:
☀️ 5 kW Solar
Approx. ₹3 Lakhs
🌬️ 3 kW Wind Turbine
Approx. ₹3 Lakhs
Additional Investment:
₹6 Lakhs
Total:
₹41 Lakhs
The solar and wind systems should primarily be presented as renewable-energy generation and electricity-cost reduction, not guaranteed revenue.
20. OPTIONAL QSR RESTAURANT
A QSR can be added as a separate business module.
Additional Investment:
₹7 Lakhs
Then:
₹35 Lakh Core Highway EV Hub
- ₹6 Lakh Solar/Wind
- ₹7 Lakh QSR
₹48 Lakhs Complete Highway Green Energy Hub
The QSR can monetize the waiting time of EV customers and highway traffic.
21. COMPLETE REVENUE ECOSYSTEM
