Good news for EV owners: Charging points will be installed in major cities as well as across major highways
Tata Power and Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to roll out over 500 electric vehicle (EV) charging points at the oil marketing company’s petrol pumps across the country.
This strategic collaboration focuses on building a reliable and expansive intercity charging network which will help alleviate range anxiety for EV owners travelling between cities, according to a Tata Power statement.
These EV charging points will be installed in major cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, Pune, and Kochi, as well as across major highways such as the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, Salem-Kochi Highway, Guntur-Chennai Highway, and the Golden Quadrilateral, the statement added.
The agreement comes close on the heels of Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) and Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Limited (TPEM) signing an MoU last week for a collaboration to set up 7,000 charging points for electric vehicles.
“The agreement aims to leverage BPCL’s widespread fuel stations network and TPEM’s insights from Tata EVs on the roads, to set up chargers at locations frequently visited by Tata EV owners. Additionally, BPCL will gather insights on charger usage to improve customer experience,” BPCL had said.
