Tata Power has entered into a strategic partnership with Hyundai Motor India Ltd to build a robust EV charging network and accelerate the adoption of EVs across India.
Through this association, Hyundai Motor India Ltd (HMIL) would become a key contributor to expansion of quality charging infrastructure, a release from Tata Power said.
Signatories
The MoU was signed between Tata Power and HMIL in the presence of Dr. Praveer Sinha, CEO & MD, Tata Power and Unsoo Kim, MD & CEO, Hyundai Motor India Ltd at HMIL’s headquarters in Gurugram, Haryana.
Across 29 cities
Under the partnership, Tata Power will install Tata Power EZ Charge fast chargers (DC 60kW) at HMIL’s existing 34 EV dealer locations across 29 cities along with supply, installation, and commissioning of home charging for HMIL’s EV customers.
Currently, all 34 HMIL dealer locations are equipped with AC 7.2 kW chargers, and the company aims to expand the fast charging infra network across its pan India dealerships.
DC advantage
This new partnership will be of tremendous benefit to customers as the vehicle charging time of a DC 60 kW charger is much lesser than AC 7.2 kW charger. DC 60 kW charging stations will enhance customer convenience.
Synergy
Commenting on the strategic partnership, Dr. Praveer Sinha, CEO & MD, Tata Power said “Tata Power’s expertise in EV charging space coupled with comprehensive charging solutions and countrywide ownership of Hyundai vehicles, will help in the development of sustainable mobility infrastructure, boosting faster EV adoption.”

This partnership will power up the nation’s electric mobility mission by offering end-to-end EV charging infrastructure at HMIL dealerships along with supply, installation, and commissioning of home charging for HMIL EV customers, thereby, enhancing customer convenience and ease of adoption of electric vehicles.”
