EV charging is becoming more than a service for electric vehicle owners. It is becoming a business opportunity.
As EV adoption grows in Pakistan, charging infrastructure is needed not only on motorways, but also at homes, offices, hotels, restaurants, shops, showrooms and private parking spaces.
But there is an important question for anyone considering EV charging as an investment:
Do you really need an expensive DC fast charger to start earning from EV charging?
For many locations, the answer is no.
The TorqueLife EarnPro 7kW takes a different approach: instead of focusing on maximum charging speed, it combines 7kW AC charging, 4G connectivity, OCPP, RFID and smart charging technology to create a connected charging point that can potentially serve both your own EV and other EV drivers.
What Is OCPP?
OCPP stands for Open Charge Point Protocol.
In simple terms, OCPP allows an EV charger to communicate with charging-management software.
A conventional charger may simply provide electricity to a vehicle.
An OCPP-enabled charger such as the TorqueLife EarnPro 7kW can communicate with a compatible charging platform for functions such as:
- Remote monitoring
- Charger status
- User access
- Charging-session management
- Tariff management
- Energy and session data
- Remote start/stop
- Payment and revenue workflows
- Charging-network management
This makes the EarnPro 7kW much more than a conventional home charger.
It can become part of a connected charging network.
How Can the EarnPro 7kW Help You Earn?
The concept is simple:
INSTALL → CONNECT → SET YOUR TARIFF → EV DRIVERS CHARGE → YOU EARN
Imagine you install a TorqueLife EarnPro 7kW at your home.
You can use it to charge your own EV.
But when you’re not using it, you can potentially make the charger available to other EV owners through a compatible charging platform.
The same concept can be applied to a:
🏠 Home
🏢 Office
🏪 Shop
🏨 Hotel
🍽️ Restaurant
🛍️ Shopping destination
🅿️ Private parking space
🚗 Showroom or dealership
You don’t necessarily need to build a large charging station.
One smart charger can be your first charging point.
Why 7kW AC Charging Makes Sense for Many Businesses
When people hear “EV charging business,” they often immediately think about DC fast chargers.
DC chargers can deliver much higher power and are excellent when drivers need to charge quickly.
But charging speed isn’t the only factor that determines whether a charger is a good investment.
The more important question is:
How long is the vehicle already going to be parked?
Consider a hotel guest staying overnight.
A restaurant customer spending two hours at dinner.
An employee working an eight-hour shift.
A customer spending several hours shopping.
A homeowner sleeping overnight.
These vehicles don’t necessarily need 120kW charging.
They’re already parked.
That’s where a 7kW AC charger like the TorqueLife EarnPro 7kW becomes particularly attractive.
AC vs DC: Which Is the Better Investment?
There is no universal winner.
DC fast charging and AC destination charging serve different purposes.
DC Fast Charging
DC charging is ideal when speed is the priority:
- Motorways
- High-traffic roadside locations
- Fuel stations
- Dedicated fast-charging hubs
- Short-stop charging
But high-power DC charging can require a significantly larger investment in equipment and electrical infrastructure.
7kW AC Charging
AC charging is better suited to locations where vehicles naturally remain parked:
- Homes
- Offices
- Hotels
- Restaurants
- Malls
- Showrooms
- Workplaces
- Private parking
The TorqueLife EarnPro 7kW can therefore offer a more accessible way to enter the charging business without immediately committing to the infrastructure required for a high-power DC station.
The Investment Isn’t Just About Charging Speed
Suppose you have a property with five parking spaces.
You could potentially invest heavily into a single high-power DC charger.
Or, depending on the site’s electrical capacity and customer behaviour, you could consider deploying multiple AC charging points.
The second approach can potentially provide more charging points, more parking availability and more opportunities to serve customers.
The right decision depends on:
Location + parking duration + EV traffic + electricity capacity + utilisation + investment cost.
That’s why the highest-powered charger isn’t automatically the best investment.
Utilisation Matters More Than Maximum Power
A 120kW charger can charge extremely quickly.
But if it sits unused for most of the day, its utilisation may be poor.
A 7kW AC charger may charge much more slowly, but if it is located somewhere vehicles naturally remain parked for several hours, it can have a very different utilisation profile.
For example:
Hotel → overnight charging
Office → working-hours charging
Restaurant → dining-time charging
Home → overnight charging
Shopping destination → shopping-time charging
The TorqueLife EarnPro 7kW is designed around this destination-charging model.
OCPP Turns EarnPro Into a Connected Charging Point
This is where the TorqueLife EarnPro 7kW becomes particularly interesting.
Its OCPP connectivity allows it to communicate with compatible charging-management platforms.
Depending on the platform, an operator can potentially:
Monitor → Manage → Price → Track → Settle
This can transform a charger from a simple electrical appliance into a managed charging service.
For example, Sarai’s business platform supports OCPP 1.6 and features tariffs, revenue splits, automatic settlement and charging-session management.
ChargePK supports OCPP 1.6J and OCPP 2.0.1 and allows compatible chargers to be connected to its charging-management system, with live status, remote start and owner-controlled pricing.
This is the significance of buying an OCPP-enabled charger like EarnPro.
You are not simply buying today’s charger.
You’re buying a charger designed for a connected charging ecosystem.
Pakistan Already Has 7kW AC Charging in the Real World
This isn’t just a theoretical business model.
Sarai currently lists operational 7kW AC Type 2 charging points in Lahore, including charging points reporting live status through OCPP.
ChargePK also describes home and host charging models where existing AC chargers can be made available to EV drivers through its network.
This demonstrates an important opportunity:
Charging doesn’t always have to happen at a massive commercial DC station.
A smart AC charger located at the right destination can also become part of the charging ecosystem.

You don’t have to choose between a personal charger and a commercial charger.
With the right location and compatible OCPP platform, one EarnPro 7kW can potentially do both.
Why Start With AC Instead of DC?
If your location is designed for rapid turnover, DC may be the right choice.
But if vehicles naturally remain parked for hours, a 7kW AC charger may make more sense from an investment perspective.
You can potentially:
- Start with a smaller investment
- Use existing parking space
- Serve customers while they are already parked
- Deploy multiple AC points as demand grows
- Connect your charger to compatible OCPP platforms
- Set charging tariffs through supported platforms
- Monitor charging remotely
- Build your charging operation gradually
Start with one charger. Learn your demand. Scale when the numbers make sense.
The Future of EV Charging Isn’t Only About Speed
The next generation of EV charging will be about:
Connectivity.
Smart management.
Open protocols.
Digital payments.
Network access.
Better utilisation.
And revenue opportunities.
The TorqueLife EarnPro 7kW brings these concepts together in a single 7kW AC charging solution.
