Project Surya - DeCharge FAQs

Investor FAQ – DeCharge: EV Charging Infrastructure on Solana

1. What exactly am I investing in?

You’re funding the deployment of 19 EV chargers (4 fast DC, 15 standard AC) across three high-traffic highway corridor sites near Bangalore, India.

This is a yield-generating, real-world infrastructure asset. You invest via ReFi Hub and earn a share of revenue from EV charging fees.

2. Why does this opportunity matter now?

India's EV market is growing fast, but long-distance charging infrastructure is lagging. This corridor sees up to 3,600 EVs/day, creating real demand.

This project helps close that infrastructure gap while giving you exposure to high-demand, on-chain infrastructure.

3. What are FITs and ownership agreements?

• An ownership agreement gives you partial ownership of a revenue-generating asset, such as the EV chargers in this project.
• FITs (Fractional Investment Tokens) are digital tokens you receive after investing. They represent your ownership and enable you to claim periodic yield payouts on-chain.

4. How do I earn returns?

Returns come from net profits generated by charging sessions.

After energy costs and capped operations costs are deducted:

• 60% of net profits go to investors
• 30% to DeCharge
• 10% to ReFi Hub

Payouts begin January 2026 and are issued monthly.

5. What is the expected return?

• 43% projected annual yield
• Minimum 1.5× return over 3 years

These are based on projections and past data; actual returns may vary. Yield reflects combined distribution of principal and profit, not interest on top of principal.

6. How long does this investment last?

This ownership agreement runs for a minimum of 3 years. If the chargers remain active beyond that, yield distribution can continue up to 5 years.

DeCharge is incentivized to keep chargers operational past year 3.

7. Can I sell my FITs?

Currently, FITs are non-transferable. However, ReFi Hub will launch be enabling new liquidity opportunities in Q1-Q2 2026.

8. What are the main risks, and how are they mitigated?

9. Who is behind this project?

DeCharge: https://sales.decharge.network is a Singapore-based EV infrastructure company with:

• 300+ chargers deployed
• Over 1 million minutes of charging time
• 52% repeat customer rate

Their team includes experts with experience at Tesla, Lucid, and Web3 infrastructure platforms.

10. Where are the chargers being installed?

Three high-demand sites near Bangalore, selected for:

• Proximity to national highways
• High vehicle flow (60k–100k/day)
• Strategic placement for both fast and destination charging

Locations include highway exits and destination hubs (e.g. hostels, restaurants, fleet stops).

11. Why mix fast (60kW) and mid-speed (7kW) chargers?

Each serves a unique use case:

• Fast chargers meet demand from short-stop highway users.
• 7kW Beasts are ideal for long-dwell usage like fleet vehicles, overnight stops, or logistics operators.

This dual approach increases uptime and improves return per dollar deployed.

12. How will the $150,000 be used?

13. How does the investment process work?

1. You invest and receive FITs representing your share of the project.
2. DeCharge deploys the chargers using the capital raised.
3. Revenue is generated through EV charging usage.
4. Net profits are split, and you claim your yield through the ReFi Hub platform.

14. How is performance tracked and reported?
