Servotech Renewable Power System Ltd. has been granted a patent by the Indian Patent Office for a converter technology that allows GB/T-standard EVs to charge using CCS2 DC fast chargers. This innovation promises to address a critical compatibility challenge at a time when charging standards are evolving rapidly.
How the Converter Works and Its Significance
The patented system works as an intermediary device that connects between a CCS2 charger and a GB/T vehicle. Through trials on select EV buses and commercial cabs, Servotech has validated the solution’s ability to support GB/T vehicles efficiently. The converter could play a key role in maximizing charger utilization, especially as legacy GB/T-based fleets coexist with newer CCS2 infrastructure.
By enabling GB/T EVs to leverage CCS2 chargers, Servotech’s technology helps avoid the need for dual-infrastructure deployment. This reduces cost and complexity for charging network operators, fleet owners, and public transport agencies. The move supports a more unified and scalable EV charging ecosystem.
Strategic Implications for India’s EV Charging Landscape
CTO Arun Handa described the patent as a significant milestone in solving industry-wide interoperability problems. Servotech sees this as a scalable innovation that can be deployed across various sectors from public transport to commercial fleets to ensure that GB/T EVs remain viable as the market shifts toward CCS2 dominance.
This development also aligns with Servotech’s broader growth strategy. The company has previously filed related patent applications to support fast-charging of GB/T (Bharat DC 001) vehicles from CCS2 connectors. By building its patent portfolio around converter and interoperability technologies, Servotech is positioning itself as a leader in next-generation EV charging.
Future Deployment and Market Impact
Servotech is now evaluating deployment options in collaboration with fleet operators, public transport agencies, and commercial charging network providers.If scaled, this converter technology could accelerate EV adoption in segments where GB/T-based vehicles are already common. It can also reduce charger redundancy by enabling shared infrastructure for different standards.
As India’s EV ecosystem matures, solutions like this converter will be crucial to bridging compatibility gaps and supporting a more efficient, inclusive electric mobility future.
