BHPian axe324 recently shared this with other enthusiasts: Hi everyone, I’m based in Mumbai and will be getting the BMW iX1 (2025) soon. I’ve been told I either need to increase my existing meter load or get a separate “Green Meter” from Adani Electricity because the car only comes with the 11kw charger.My situation: Rented flat in Mumbai (society-owned parking, ~50 meters away from the meter room). Adani Electricity is the provider. I’m confused whether it’s easier to apply for a load upgrade on my current meter or to get a new meter specifically for EV charging. Also, how exactly do I apply? Is there an online link for EV meters, or do I just use the normal “New Connection” form and mention it’s for EV charging?Questions:1. Has anyone here in Mumbai installed a BMW charger (or any EV charger) with Adani? 2. Which process was easier in your experience-load upgrade or separate green meter? 3. What documents were needed (e.g., NOC from society/flat owner)? 4. Any tips to avoid delays or confusion when dealing with Adani? Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through this with Adani in Mumbai. Here’s what BHPian Mortis added to the discussion:You could pull wires from your existing meter and use a regular plug with the portable charger. It will be capped at 3kW though. At most you might have to increase your sanctioned load. Keep the 11kW charger and only install it if a) Your daily running is high and you cannot restore enough range overnight with a slow charger. b) You are planning on staying at the current place for more than a couple of years. C) You are moving to a new rental/own place soon and would prefer to get it installed there.Check outBHPian commentsfor more insights and information.
