Tata Power, a leading provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions in India, announced that it has begun a nationwide plan to set up 25,000 EV charging points across the country in an effort to support the faster adoption of e-mobility over the next five years.
The company is presenting a variety of hi-tech electric vehicle charging solutions at the ongoing Auto Expo 2023 in Greater Noida. Visitors were provided with first-hand experience of the technology driving Tata Power’s widespread EV charging network, EZ Charge, including one of the most downloaded mobile apps for EV charging, Tata Power EZ Charge.

Over 3,600 public or semi-public chargers and over 23,500 residential chargers are available from the company. Many of these charging stations are also equipped with fast-charging technology and are located at strategic locations such as malls, hotels, airports, and office complexes.
