Bhubaneshwar: Tata Motors and Tata Power recently inaugurated 2 high-speed CCS2 EV charging stations one each at TML Dion Automotives, Samantarapur in Bhubaneshwar, and TML Gugnani Autocars, Pratap Nagari in Cuttack. With this, the company operates the largest charging network of 4 chargers throughout Odisha, located on major routes.
The high-speed EV charger is equipped to charge the Nexon EV from 0-80% in one hour. Accessible via the Tata Power EZ Charge, an app designed to offer seamless user interface, Nexon EV users can now easily find, pay for, and use the charging station when away from home. This application will also allow the user to monitor their charge status and get notified when they are ready to go.
“The availability of the charging stations will not only enhance the convenience factor for those who are away from home, but will also actively contribute to addressing barriers to the EV adoption. We are committed to build a seamless charging experience in collaboration with Tata Power and take the EV charging infrastructure to the next level. With a rapidly increasing charging network and the exceptional range that Nexon EV offers, we are confident that our EV customers would like to spend more and more time on the go now.” Ramesh Dorairajan, head – sales, marketing and customer care, electric vehicle business unit, Tata Motors, said.
Sandeep Bangia, head- EV, HA & ESCO Business, Tata Power, said, “We are committed to accelerating EV adoption across the country by expanding our charging infrastructure footprint. Currently, all the 4000+ Tata Nexon EV owners can access over 456 charging points installed in 92 cities and on several prominent intercity routes across India. In Odisha alone, we have installed 4 charging points and this number is only expected to increase. The CCS2 charging stations like those installed at TML Dion Automotives, Samantarapur in Bhubaneshwar and TML Gugnani Autocars, Pratap Nagari in Cuttack are typically installed at workplaces, hotels, and commercial areas where EV owners normally spend several hours and can conveniently recharge their vehicles.”
Further, to accelerate the adoption of EVs in India, Tata Motors also introduced a holistic e-mobility ecosystem “Tata uniEVerse” to closely leverage the strengths and experience of other Tata Group companies to create a viable EV environment. Through this consumers will have access to a suite of e-mobility offerings including charging solutions, innovative retail experiences and easy financing options.
