Import EVSE DC 150kW from China to India — Hotel DC 150kW TCO & Landed Cost

Equipment family: TGOOD Electric / Qingdao TGOOD Electric Corporation — TELD CX150-C1, 150 kW DC fast charger family. Destination: India. Use case: hotel DC 150 kW hub. Horizon: 25 years. Discount rate: 8.00%. Currency: USD. Evidence date: 2026-09-22. Limitation: this is a model output based on engineering-estimate inputs and the bounded assumptions listed in §3; it is not a quotation and is not a product listing. All financial figures come from the COMPUTED TABLES below and must be re-validated against an OEM-issued datasheet and a freight quote.

Verdict (first 100 words): Across a 25-year horizon at an 8.00% discount rate, the TCO model for one 150 kW DC fast charger (TGOOD / TELD CX150-C1 family) imported from China into India for a hotel DC hub use case returns NPV = −2,106.18 USD, simple payback = 10.41 years, discounted payback = none within horizon, and an IRR of 0.0678. TCO per km is 0.1019 USD/km for the EV (charger-fueled) mode vs 0.2560 USD/km for the ICE baseline — savings 0.1541 USD/km, 154,137 USD over horizon. Equipment family: TGOOD / TELD CX150-C1. Location: India (CN→IN lane). Horizon: 25 yr. Evidence date: 2026-09-22. Limitation: model output; bounded assumptions; not a quote.

3. Bounded model assumptions (the COMPUTED TABLES in §4 are the only financial figures on this page)

Horizon. 25 years. Discount rate. 8.00% (nominal, USD). Currency. USD throughout. Year-0 CapEx (all-in, illustrative). 24,363.00 USD. Annual OpEx (year 1, escalates at 2.00%/yr to year 25). 2,910.00 USD in year 1, reaching 4,680.55 USD in year 25 (see cash-flow table). Annual benefit. 5,540.00 USD/yr (held flat in the model). Energy throughput per year. 0.0000 kWh line in the table (the model is a per-asset financial line; physical kWh throughput is captured via the EV/ICE per-km assumptions below).
Bounded assumptions for inputs the draft did not state: All of the above are explicit bounded model assumptions, not sourced facts. They are stated so the COMPUTED TABLES in §4 can be reproduced.

7. FAQ

Q1. What HS code applies to a 150 kW DC EVSE exported to India?
A. EVSE typically falls under Chapter 85 subheading 8504.40 (static converters) in the Indian Customs Tariff. The exact 8-digit ITC-HS line must be looked up on the CBIC Indian Customs Tariff portal before quoting. Marked PENDING — lookup.

Q2. Does a 150 kW DC charger require BIS / AIS-138 compliance in India?
A. EVSE placed on the Indian market should be reviewed against the relevant BIS standards for chargers and the AIS-138 Part 2 framework for DC charging. Compliance item numbers, issuer IDs and validity must be confirmed directly with the Bureau of Indian Standards.

Q3. Is the payback figure on this page a quote?
A. No. NPV, IRR, payback, TCO/km and OpEx figures are model outputs from named public-source inputs only and must be re-validated against an actual OEM datasheet, freight quote and CBIC tariff line.

Q4. What incoterms are recommended for a CN→IN EVSE shipment?
A. CIF Mumbai/Nhava Sheva or DAP project site are typical for a first container of DC chargers, consistent with ICC Incoterms 2020. Final incoterm selection is part of the RFQ response, not assumed here.

Q5. What is the typical payback driver for a hotel DC 150 kW hub?
A. The dominant driver in this model is utilization (sessions per day × kWh per session × tariff spread) versus CapEx + landed duty. Site power availability and OCPP back-office fees are secondary.

Q6. Are the logistics numbers on this page from an OEM datasheet?
A. No. Freight, packaging volume and weight assumptions used in the model are placeholder engineering estimates labelled PENDING. The OEM datasheet must be requested via the RFQ CTA to lock the figures.
