How does the FOCO model work?
FOCO means Franchise Owned, Company Operated. The partner owns the approved charging infrastructure while EV Shield deploys and operates the station under an agreed commercial framework.
Who can become an EV Shield partner?
Potential partners include infrastructure investors, commercial property owners, hotels, malls, highway properties, workplaces and fleet operators. Every proposal remains subject to technical and commercial feasibility.
What makes a site suitable for EV charging?
Key considerations include traffic and demand, convenient access, parking availability, dwell time, electrical capacity, safety, visibility and nearby amenities. EV Shield reviews these factors during feasibility assessment.
How long does installation take?
The timeline depends on the site, power-sanction requirements, charger configuration, civil work and equipment availability. A project schedule is provided after the technical assessment and scope are finalised.
Are investment returns guaranteed?
No. Performance depends on location, charger mix, tariffs, energy cost, utilisation and commercial terms. Partners should review a site-specific feasibility study before making an investment decision.
