Tata.ev has unveiled an ambitious plan to more than double India’s EV charging infrastructure, aiming for 400,000 charging points nationwide by 2027. This expansion is part of Open Collaboration 2.0, an initiative to accelerate EV adoption and make charging more seamless, accessible, and reliable for all users.
Major Expansion Plans
To achieve this target, Tata.ev is strengthening its partnerships with leading Charge Point Operators (CPOs) and Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs). The company plans to install over 30,000 new public chargers while ensuring that its Tata.ev Verified Chargers can be easily located via the IRA app.
In addition to expanding the charging network, Tata.ev has announced the installation of 500+ Mega Chargers across key locations, offering priority access and services for Tata.ev customers. These chargers will feature superfast charging with multiple bays, enhancing convenience for long-distance EV travel.
Tata.ev Mega Charger Network
Tata.ev’s Mega Charger network is a key initiative under this expansion plan. The first phase will see 500 Mega Chargers deployed, in collaboration with major CPOs such as Tata Power, ChargeZone, Statiq, and Zeon. These chargers will be placed along prominent highways and EV corridors, ensuring high-speed, reliable charging where users need it the most.
Tata.ev Mega Chargers will provide:
– Superfast charging with four charging bays per station
