In a development poised to reshape India’s electric-mobility landscape, Servotech Renewable Power System has been granted a patent by the Indian Patent Office for its latest innovation, “System and Method for Charging an Electric Vehicle.” The patented technology introduces a smart CCS2-to-GB/T charging conversion system, addressing one of India’s most stubborn infrastructure frictions: interoperability between the two dominant DC charging standards.
With India’s EV sector steadily migrating toward the CCS2 standard—now favoured for most new electric four-wheelers and buses—the large existing fleet of GB/T-compatible vehicles, particularly older public-transport buses, commercial fleets, and early-generation EVs, faces rising compatibility barriers. Servotech’s patented converter aims to bridge that gap precisely.
A Strategic Technology at a Pivotal Moment
Servotech’s device enables any GB/T-based EV to charge directly using a CCS2 DC fast charger. The converter acts as an intelligent interface managing electrical, protocol, and communication interoperability between the two standards.
The company states that the technology has already undergone successful trials on GB/T-enabled electric buses and commercial EV cabs, indicating readiness for real-world deployment. Early performance assessments highlight high reliability, safety, and charging efficiency — three parameters critical for high-throughput commercial EV operations.
From an industry perspective, this innovation could significantly optimize India’s charging assets. Thousands of public and private CCS2 chargers are being installed nationwide under government initiatives, yet substantial GB/T fleets remain operational. Rather than building parallel infrastructure, Servotech’s converter allows operators to maximize utilization of existing charging stations while ensuring that legacy vehicle owners are not excluded from evolving infrastructure standards.
Company Vision and Industry Implications
Commenting on the achievement, Arun Handa, Chief Technical Officer at Servotech Renewable Power System, said:
“Being awarded this patent is a proud moment for Servotech. It reflects our deep-rooted focus on solving real industry challenges with practical, scalable innovations. We believe this revolutionary technology will play a crucial role in bridging India’s charging compatibility gaps and accelerating the shift to a unified, efficient EV ecosystem.”
His statement underscores the company’s broader strategy: positioning itself not merely as a manufacturer of chargers, but as a solutions provider shaping the architecture of India’s EV ecosystem.
As India pushes toward electrification targets, interoperability challenges have been a recurring bottleneck. Introducing a legally protected conversion system gives Servotech a first-mover advantage in an increasingly competitive EV technology arena. It also aligns with the national emphasis on standardisation, cost efficiency, and infrastructure optimisation, particularly for public transport networks and large fleet operators.
A Competitive Edge for Servotech
Servotech Renewable, with more than two decades of technological and electronics experience, maintains a strong presence in India’s EV charging market, offering both AC and DC chargers and working closely with industry stakeholders and government missions.
Securing this patent strengthens Servotech’s intellectual-property portfolio and could serve as:
- A new revenue vertical, through conversion device sales and integrations.
- A competitive differentiator in government and private sector procurement tenders.
- A catalyst for adoption among fleet operators seeking cost-effective modernization.
Given the pace of EV adoption and the government’s focus on grid-ready, interoperable fast-charging networks, this innovation positions the company to benefit from multi-year infrastructure cycles.
Market and Sector Outlook
For investors and industry observers, Servotech’s latest patent extends beyond a single product. It reflects a growing market trend: the need for technologies that enable seamless compatibility amid rapid hardware standardisation. India’s mixed fleet—comprising legacy GB/T vehicles and newer CCS2-compliant models—has long created operational inefficiencies. Servotech’s converter could play a decisive role in smoothing the transition period, improving charger utilisation rates and reducing capital redundancy for charging operators.
As adoption scales, the technology may see strong demand from:
- State transport undertakings (STUs) managing electric bus networks
- Shared mobility operators
- Taxi and rental fleets
- Commercial charging hub operators
Additionally, India’s emerging role as a regional manufacturing and technology hub could open doors for export opportunities to markets facing similar standard-transition challenges.
Conclusion
Servotech Renewable Power System newly granted patent for CCS2-to-GB/T EV charging conversion technology marks a meaningful milestone in India’s EV infrastructure evolution. By tackling interoperability head-on, the company has not only addressed a critical market need but also positioned itself strategically for future growth.
As India works toward building a unified, efficient, and future-ready charging ecosystem, innovations like these are essential building blocks — supporting fleet operators, enhancing infrastructure efficiency, and accelerating the national electric mobility mission.
