GREET — Grid Readiness for EV: Enablers and Technological developments — unites India's premier institutions and industry to make the power grid ready for mass EV adoption through technology, policy and real-world demonstration.
The GREET initiative focuses on the seamless integration of electric vehicles into power grids — addressing the technological, societal and policy challenges that stand between India and its goal of 30% EV penetration by 2030.
From benchmark models to field-deployed prototypes — an end-to-end pipeline.
Each work package tackles a critical layer of the EV–grid challenge, from grid impact to field demonstration.
Impact assessment, V2G mechanisms, optimal planning, scheduling, real-time monitoring and cybersecurity — across 7 sub-packages.
02WP 2Universal charging socket, lightweight chargers, communication protocols and battery swapping with advanced BMS.
03WP 3Solid-state-transformer fast charging, wireless power transfer and grid-interface converters for DC-coupled stations.
04WP 4Community engagement, skill-gap capacity building and policy & regulatory interventions led by TERI.
05WP 5Hardware-in-the-loop validation and real-world deployment of all developed technologies at pilot sites.
