Tata Power, India’s largest integrated power company, has installed their first Electric Vehicle charging station at their receiving Station at Vikhroli, Mumbai.
Tata Power aims to build a network of charging stations to make it easier for people to adopt to EVs and be future ready. This will help the country achieve its ambitious plan of mass scale shift to electric vehicles by 2030. Lack of charging stations and infrastructure has kept car buyers away from electric vehicles currently though there are a handful of them running on road.
These chargers would facilitate electric car users to charge their cars (Battery Electric Vehicles such as the Mahindra e2o, Nissan Leaf, etc) at any time safely and conveniently. The chargers can also monitor the car battery charging status and units consumed while charging a car. The company plans to set up charging stations at various locations in Mumbai and is already in discussions with various stakeholders.
Mr. Anil Sardana, CEO & MD, Tata Power, said, “We are proud and happy with the launch of Electrical Vehicle Charging stations as Tata Power continues to set a high standard in adopting sustainable practices by using innovative technology, providing customers access to energy-efficient processes. We are moving towards clean power for all and it is our endeavor to provide best of the solutions for our country to achieve a greener tomorrow”.
