# Apartment EV Guide India

> Independent, people-first guidance and free tools helping Indian apartment residents and resident welfare associations (RWAs) plan EV charging — estimating costs, checking whether a parking spot can support a charger, drafting society permission and policy, and understanding fair billing and safety.
