Tata to build fast charging infrastructure in India
Under the intended initiative, Tata Motors and Tata Power will provide exclusive charging tariffs for drivers of EVs from Tata Motors, resulting in lower operating costs and increased profitability for its customers. The deal will also provide a benefit to electric commercial vehicle users, who will be able to access nearly 1000 strategically located fast charging stations. An expansion of the network is also already planned, as well.
“With one of the largest EV Charging networks across the country, Tata Power has been enabling electric vehicle owners through its reliable and accessible charging solutions across the country,” said Deepesh Nanda, CEO & MD, Tata Power Renewable Energy, adding: “Already present across diverse segments such as public, semi-public, bus/fleet, and home chargers, we are expanding to the commercial vehicle charging segment, delivering integrated EV charging solutions. This collaboration underlines our commitment to accelerating e-mobility by providing an expansive and reliable EV Charging network across India.”
Vinay Pathak, Vice President & Business Head – SCV&PU, Tata Motors, added: “It has been our endeavour to not only engineer and manufacture world-class electric vehicles, but also help develop the necessary ecosystem to democratize the use of these eco-friendly and emission-free vehicles. This partnership will also explore avenues to maximize the use of renewable energy to make electric vehicle operations greener.”
In the announcement, Tata also notes that it has “expanded its network under the brand name of EZ Charge to over 1,00,000 home chargers, 5,500+ public, semi-public, and fleet charging points, along with 1100+ bus charging stations across 530 cities and towns.”
Just this summer, Tata Power announced the deployment of over 850 electric bus charging points, and the company has previously made collaboration deals, such as with Hyundai in 2022.
