Tata Power and Tata Passenger Electric Mobility have unveiled the largest mega EV charging hub in India, located in Mumbai.

Tata Power & Tata Passenger Electric Mobility have marked a major milestone for India’s EV infrastructure as they will be collaborating to develop Mumbai’s first Tata.ev MegaCharger hub, and this is more of an achievement in the field of EVs rather than a technological advancement, thus solidifying the charging infrastructure of the country. 

The hub has been organized at the Leela Mumbai Hotel, which is near to Terminal 2 of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. The location is strategically selected in order to serve a majority of the EV users which ranges from private car owners to commercial ride fleets and even travellers who are travelling from the city. 

What Makes This Hub Unique?

The MegaCharger hub was established in order to enhance the quality and speed of the charging in India. The hub has been open to all and apart from city commuters, the hub can be also utilized by professionals, tourists, and hotel guests who want effective charging. 

• A total of Eight fast DC chargers which can support a peak power of up to 120 kW.
• There were a total of 16 charging bays, which means the hub has a capacity to charge a total of 16 EVs at a time. 
• Charging is available 24*7, thus allowing flexibility to drivers to charge their EVs anytime, according to their preferences.
•  The hub is completely powered by renewable energy, which is under the joint control of Tata Power’s ‘Sustainable is Attainable’ drive.
