Questions, answered plainly.

The structural, financial, and operational mechanics of a Nevora residential charging system — the way we explain it to a management committee.

Engineering & Safety

Your building's electricity supply was sized for homes, on the assumption that not everyone draws power at once. When 15–20 EVs charge together overnight, that assumption breaks and the building risks tripping or, worse, damage to the supply equipment — and an emergency upgrade the society never budgeted for. Uncoordinated individual chargers also sidestep the safety norms that apply to shared buildings. A centralised, managed system solves both problems.
CORE is the software we are building to watch how much electricity the building is using and share what is spare between the chargers. It is designed to slow charging a little on a busy evening so the building never goes past its sanctioned load, with every car full by morning — what lets many chargers share one connection safely. CORE is in active development; the page at /platform/core-by-nevora/ sets out what is built and what is still to come.
Every Nevora design follows the Central Electricity Authority's safety regulations. We handle the electrical inspection and the DISCOM approvals, and hand the paperwork to your committee at the end.
Standard home-speed chargers, one per bay — the kind that gives a full charge overnight. How many, and which, is decided after the site survey, based on your sanctioned load and how many EVs you have.

Financial Models & Scope

Most communities buy the system outright, and we recommend that without apology. Be careful with vendors offering free installation: overnight residential charging earns too little to fund itself, so the cost is recovered somewhere you cannot see — usually advertising. Society-owned capital is the honest structure here. Where the upfront figure is a genuine barrier, we can finance the hardware or build in phases, so the shared system goes in now and bays are added as demand arrives. We recommend the right model after your free site visit.
All electrical cabling from the building's main panel or electrical room to each charging bay is part of the community's (or builder's) electrical scope, under every model. This is the structural wiring that becomes a permanent part of your building. Nevora funds and operates the charging hardware and software; the in-building cabling is the community's responsibility. We make this clear upfront so there are no surprises at proposal stage.
Each charging point has its own meter. CORE is designed to bill residents automatically from the electricity they actually used, and to show each resident their own usage, so the committee does not read meters, work out bills, or chase payments. CORE is in active development.
A share of what residents pay, yes — but we would rather you size it correctly before the AGM than be disappointed after. Run a realistic present-day EV count against a 200-flat society and the community's share is a modest monthly sum — real, but not the kind of number that carries a capital vote on its own. Treat centralised charging as a risk-management asset that removes fire, grid and billing-dispute exposure, not as an income asset. Any vendor promising meaningful society revenue should be asked to show you the arithmetic.

Operations & Maintenance

Nevora operates and maintains the charging hardware and software — including troubleshooting, repairs, and remote software updates — under the terms of your agreement. Day-to-day operations are our responsibility, not the committee's.
The shared system is built to grow within your sanctioned load. As more residents buy EVs, new charge points are added without rebuilding anything, and CORE is designed to spread the supply across more bays — up to what the building's connection can carry.
After a free site survey, we deliver a proposal within 48 hours. Actual installation timelines depend on the size of the community and the scope of cabling work, and are confirmed in the proposal.
