Model 1 - Buy & hostBusiness · Model 1

Host a charging station. Earn every session.

Buy one or more Magma chargers, install them at your business, and collect 85% of every charging session - while Magma handles software, payments, support and maintenance.

Magma keeps ₹15 of every ₹100 - platform, operations and maintenance - so ₹85 is paid to you. Electricity comes out of that, leaving ₹41, which is why your tariff has to sit comfortably above your EB rate.

Process

How the host model works.

  1. STEP 01

    Site check

    Magma reviews your parking, available load and expected EV traffic, and recommends a charger.

  2. STEP 02

    Purchase

    You buy the unit outright. Installation is quoted separately based on cable run and civil work.

  3. STEP 03

    Commissioning

    Magma installs, connects the unit to the platform and lists it in the app.

  4. STEP 04

    Go live

    Drivers find, use and pay for the charger through the app.

  5. STEP 05

    Settlement

    Your 85% is transferred on a fixed monthly cycle, with a full session statement.

The split, and who pays what

01

You keep 85%

Eighty-five percent of the gross value of every session at your site is yours.

02

Magma keeps 15%

Out of it Magma absorbs payment gateway charges, software, driver support and maintenance.

03

You pay the electricity

The single biggest cost line. Your tariff has to sit comfortably above your EB rate for the model to work.

04

Maintenance is ours

Warranty and preventive maintenance are Magma’s responsibility; you provide access to the unit.

05

Installation is quoted per site

Charger prices are ex-works. Installation typically runs ₹8,000–₹35,000 depending on cable distance and whether the board needs work.

06

The footfall is the other return

EV drivers choose the café, mall or hotel that can charge them - and stay for the length of the session.

Payback excludes installation, cabling and any civil or electrical board work at your site - add that one-time cost (typically ₹8,000–₹35,000) to the charger price.

All revenue, profit, payback and return figures shown are illustrative projections built on the stated assumptions. They are not guarantees, forecasts or an offer of a fixed return. Actual results depend on site utilisation, local tariffs, electricity rates and operating costs.

Sizing

Matching the charger to the site.

Dwell time decides the charger. A long parking window does not need a fast unit.

Site typeDwell timeRecommendedWhy
Apartment / society parking8–12 hrs3.6 or 7 kWOvernight window is long; lower power keeps the society’s sanctioned load intact
Office / IT park6–9 hrs7 kWBest cost per parked car across a full working day
Mall / retail / cinema2–4 hrs11 kWMeaningful range added inside a shopping visit
Hotel / resort10+ hrs7 kWOvernight guest charging; an amenity that drives bookings
Highway café / dhaba45–90 min22 kWFastest top-up available in a meal stop
Two-wheeler hub / delivery fleet1–2 hrs3.3 kW × multiple, or 3.6 kW fastCheapest points per bay for fleets swapping through in shifts; the Type 6/7 unit where riders want a quicker turnaround
