EV manufacturer TATA.ev has inaugurated its first 10 TATA.ev MegaChargers in India.
In association with ChargeZone and Statiq, the launch of these high-speed chargers shortly follows the commitment made by TATA.ev to boost e-mobility in India by more than doubling the number of available charge points to 400,000 by 2027.
TATA.ev says that, through its ‘Open Collaboration’ framework, it has successfully forged partnerships with various charge point operators (CPOs) and oil marketing companies (OMCs) and also greatly expanded charging infrastructure across key hotspots, particularly along highways, to ensure seamless long-distance mobility. A flagship initiative under this framework was to create a TATA.ev MegaCharger network and offer high-speed charging and reliability.
Balaje Rajan, chief strategy officer, Tata Passenger Electric Mobility, and Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles, commented on the 10 MegaChargers: “At a time when EV adoption is on its growth path, ubiquitous and dependable charging infrastructure is the need of the hour. These first 10 TATA.ev MegaCharger sites in key EV corridors of the country are the first tranche of a superfast charging network that we will have across major highways. The TATA.ev MegaCharger network will increasingly connect all major cities across India to remove charging anxiety. We are on a mission to provide fast, reliable, and effortless charging that enables seamless mobility across the country – and we are just getting started.”
Tata.ev has committed to installing 500 TATA.ev MegaChargers across India. The first 10 installations comprise four stations in Mumbai – Ahmedabad Highway, three stations in Delhi – Jaipur Highway, one in Pune – Nashik Highway, one in Bengaluru City, and one in Udaipur City.
Commenting on the launch, Akshit Bansal, founder & CEO, Statiq, said: “Our collaboration with TATA.ev is a milestone in building a trusted, nationwide EV charging network. By co-branding with them, we will make EV adoption more accessible and reliable for every Indian, empowering users to easily locate and use charging stations through the iRA.ev & Statiq app.”
Kartikey Hariyani – chief executive officer & managing director, ChargeZone added: “Together, ChargeZone and TATA.ev are pushing the boundaries of EV charging in India by focusing on the needs of today’s EV drivers—fast, reliable, and easily accessible solutions. We’re building a seamless EV ecosystem that supports innovative features including auto charge, RFID tap and charge, which meets current demands and future mobility needs.”
