Tata Power & Zoomcar Join Hands To Offer EV Charging Infra Solutions
Tata Power EV Charging Solutions (TPEVCSL), a Tata Power group Company and Zoomcar, a marketplace for car sharing, have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to promote widespread electric vehicle adoption and deliver a seamless, user-friendly charging experience to EV users.
This collaboration aims to promote Tata Power's EZ Charge points on the Zoomcar platform and will focus on supporting existing and aspiring EV owners along with Zoomcar's existing customers. Insights on Tata Power’s network of EZ Charge points all across the country will provide these customers with easy access to streamline the EV charging process and address the challenges often associated with using the charging infrastructure. This will encourage more people to list their EVs on Zoomcar's platform and potential customers to opt for them.
Tata Power has a wide EV charging infrastructure: EZ Charge includes over 50,000 home chargers, 4370+ public and semi-public charging points, and 250 bus-charging points across 350 cities including multiple highways.
The company aims to establish 25,000 charging points in the next five years, bolstering the national EV ecosystem and driving sustainable mobility growth. Zoomcar, has over 20,000 cars on its technology-driven platform across India, Indonesia, and Egypt.
"As India’s leading EV charging infrastructure provider, we are constantly collaborating with industry partners such as Zoomcar to develop a technologically advanced and robust EV ecosystem in the country." said Dr. Praveer Sinha, CEO & MD of Tata Power.
The MoU was signed between Tata Power EV Charging Solutions (TPEVCSL) and Zoomcar in Mumbai in the presence of Ashish Khanna, CEO of Tata Power Renewable Energy; Virendra Goyal, Head of Business Development, EV Charging, Tata Power; and Greg Moran, CEO and Co-Founder of Zoomcar.
Greg Moran, CEO & Co-founder of Zoomcar stated, "Our car-sharing platform is perfectly suited for electric vehicles and we expect to grow 50 per cent of our platform by 2025. This mutual partnership is poised to create a comprehensive ecosystem that fulfils the evolving needs of EV enthusiasts”
Recently, in July 2023, Tata Power launched an RFID card that allows EV users to initiate charging by tapping the EZ Charge RFID card on the EZ charger at any location in the country.
