Tata.ev, the electric vehicle subsidiary of Tata Motors, today inaugurated its first 10 TATA.ev MegaChargers with the help of ChargeZone and Statiq. This development is part of the company’s commitment to boost the country’s charging infrastructure to 40,000 charge points by 2027.
Tata.ev is spearheading the next phase of electrification in India through its ‘Open Collaboration’ framework. This strategic initiative has facilitated the establishment of robust partnerships with multiple Charge Point Operators (CPOs) and Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs), resulting in the significant expansion of charging infrastructure across critical locations, particularly along major highways.Â
This expansion is aimed at enabling seamless long-distance electric mobility. A key undertaking within this framework is the development of the Tata.ev MegaCharger network, which is designed to deliver high-speed charging capabilities and exceptional reliability.
The MegaChargers have been strategically placed along key national highways and urban hotspots. This rollout is part of TATA.ev’s broader commitment to enhance India’s EV infrastructure and install 500 MegaChargers nationwide.
