The demand for EVs in India is increasing each day. With the uncertainty around petrol and diesel cars with the ethanol and isobutanol blends that are being pushed by the government, EVs seem to be a sensible choice for those looking to buy a new vehicle.
With EVs, however, the challenge is charging. Yes, our public charging infrastructure isn’t up to the mark yet, but for those who are buying EVs, getting a home charging solution makes things much better. Now, EVs shouldn’t still be the only car in anyone’s garage, but that is a different conversation. Should you choose to purchase an EV, getting a charger from the car brand itself is mostly expensive.
For example, the 7.4kW EV charger that Tata offers with its cars usually costs somewhere around ₹40,000. However, going with a third part brand like Statiq or JioEV, the cost comes significantly lower. In this article, we will list out the best 8 EV chargers that you can buy for home charging under ₹25,000.

1. JioEV Aries Pro — ₹24,999
Reliance’s freshly-launched entrant tops this list for a reason. A 7.4kW output charger with RFID authentication, full app-based scheduling and monitoring through Jio TruePower, and a genuinely flexible connectivity setup — 4G, Wi-Fi, or wired LAN, your choice. It’s IP65 and IK10 rated for weather and impact resistance, which matters if you’re installing it in a semi-open carport. The only real catch: it’s currently sold exclusively via Amazon, and installation costs an extra ₹1,499 on top of the sticker price.
2. Statiq 7.4kW Smart Nectar Home EV Charger — ₹24,990
A 5-metre cable, app and RFID-based control, auto cut-off and load balancing, ARAI certification, and an IP66 rating, backed by a 2-year warranty. Statiq is a recognisable name in India’s public charging network space too, which adds a bit of brand confidence if you’re nervous about buying an EV charger from a company you’ve never heard of. ARAI certification specifically is worth flagging — it means the product has been tested against India’s own automotive standards, not just generic international ones.

3. RIOD PowerPod Go 3.3kW Smart EV Charger — ₹18,000
A correction from our earlier pricing on this one: RIOD’s actual entry-level smart charger, the PowerPod Go 3.3kW, retails at ₹18,000 and includes OCPP compatibility, RFID, and 4G/Wi-Fi connectivity — making it one of the cheapest genuinely “smart” chargers on this list. The trade-off is the lower 3.3kW output, which means slower overnight charging compared to the 7.4kW options here, so this one’s better suited to buyers with smaller-battery EVs or those who simply don’t mind a longer charge window.
4. PME HyperCharge Portable EV Charger 7.2kW — ₹19,999
A portable charger with a 6-metre cable, large LCD display, adjustable current up to 32A on a single phase, and full built-in protections, with an IP67 waterproof rating — actually a notch above the IP65/IP66 ratings most competitors offer. Being portable rather than wall-mounted is a genuine plus if you split time between a home and a second property, or if you’re renting and don’t want to commit to a fixed installation.

5. ORBLR EV Charger 7.2kW Portable — ₹20,999
A 32A adjustable-current portable charger with app support over a 5-metre cable, TUV and CE certified, with SmartLife app control over WiFi and Bluetooth, IP65 weatherproofing, and OTA update support. The OTA (over-the-air) update capability is a nice touch most budget chargers skip entirely — it means bug fixes and feature additions can roll out without you needing to replace hardware.
6. Statiq 7.4kW Portable EV Charger (3-Pin Variant) — ₹21,999
A 32A Type 2 AC charger with a 3-pin industrial plug, adjustable current from 6A to 32A, IP66 rated, with an LED display and a 2-year warranty, explicitly designed for use across home, office, and travel scenarios. If you want one charger that genuinely moves with you rather than staying bolted to one wall, this is built for exactly that use case.
7. Zevpoint Polar Pro — ₹29,999 (just over budget, but worth the stretch)
A 7.5kW charger with three distinct charging modes — Plug & Charge, RFID, or full control through the Zevpoint Home Mobile App — plus Bluetooth connectivity for remote session management. Zevpoint is one of India’s more established charging infrastructure players, having powered over 10,000 EVs across 400-plus cities, so there’s real operational pedigree behind this one if reliability matters more to you than shaving off the last few thousand rupees.
8. Bolt.Earth Blaze AC 7.4kW — ₹24,999
Bolt.Earth’s Blaze AC delivers a 7.4kW output with a real-time charger status and energy display, water-resistant build, and a gun holder for added safety and convenience. On the spec sheet, it supports Wi-Fi and optional 4G connectivity, QR code, Plug & Charge, and RFID authentication, runs OCPP 1.6J for interoperability, and is ARAI certified. Safety protections are genuinely comprehensive too — auto power cut-off, power theft protection, inbuilt energy measurement, over and under voltage protection, over-temperature protection, an emergency push button, and Type B earth leakage protection — and it comes backed by a 3-year warranty, notably longer than most others on this list. Professional installation, normally worth ₹2,499, is bundled in for free, though wiring charges apply separately.
