EV Charging and 3-Level Basement Parking at Prestige Grove Park Explained

Parking is one of the biggest daily headaches for families in Mumbai. Older buildings in Borivali often have space for only a few cars, so residents park on the street. That leads to scratched cars, towing fines and fights over spots.

A three-level basement solves this at the design stage. It keeps every car under one roof, safe from rain, sun and street traffic. It also frees the ground for green space, so about 35% of the land stays open.

Each basement level sits below the towers and the open landscape above. Ramps connect the levels to the entry and exit points of the township. Lifts from every tower run down to the basements, so you can reach your car without stepping outside.

This layout gives you three clear benefits in daily life.

• You walk from your car to the lift lobby under cover, even in heavy monsoon rain.
• Your car stays shaded, which protects the paint and keeps the cabin cool.
• Kids and elders walk on the ground level without cars moving around them.

With over 150 EV points, about one in ten bays will be ready for an electric car. As more Mumbai families switch to EVs, this setup saves you the trouble of getting society approval later. Many older societies still argue over who pays for chargers and power lines.

Here is a simple view of how home EV charging works for most buyers.

Charge times vary by car model and battery size. Confirm the charger type at each bay with the builder.

For most city driving, an overnight charge in your own bay covers a full week of office trips. That means you rarely need to visit a public charging station.

Before you book, ask how the society will bill EV charging to each owner. Some projects fit a separate meter at each charging bay, so you pay only for what you use. Others use a smart system that tracks units through an app and adds them to your maintenance bill.

A separate meter or smart billing keeps things fair between EV owners and other residents. It also avoids disputes at society meetings later.

The number of bays per home matters less than how the builder allots them. Ask these questions before you sign your agreement.

• How many car bays come with a 2 BHK and with a 3 BHK?
• Can you buy an extra bay, and at what cost?
• Which basement level will your bay be on?
• Will your bay have an EV charger, or can you request one?
• Is the bay covered and stack-free, or is it a mechanical stack?
• How will guests book the visitor bays, and are there time limits?

Basements in Mumbai need to handle monsoon rain and fire safety rules. These are the key features you should ask about.

• Proper drainage and pumps to keep water out during heavy rain.
• Mechanical ventilation to clear exhaust fumes from all three levels.
• Fire sprinklers and smoke detectors across every basement level.
• Bright lighting and CCTV coverage at ramps, lifts and corners.
• Clear signs, one-way traffic lanes and speed breakers on ramps.
• A separate fire-safe area around the EV charging bays.

Prestige Group has built many large townships with multi-level basements, so these systems are standard for the brand. Still, check the final specs once the MahaRERA plans are public.

How Parking Adds to Your Home's Value

A confirmed parking bay adds real value when you sell or rent your home in Borivali. Tenants and buyers often skip flats without parking, especially families with a car. EV-ready bays will matter even more by 2031, when possession is due and more cars are electric.
