Tata Power has inaugurated a state-of-the-art 180 kW ultra-fast DC charging station on the busy Mumbai–Ahmedabad Highway (NH-48), marking a significant step toward enhancing electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure and reducing range anxiety for long-distance travelers.
The new charging station, launched on March 25, is strategically located at the Vithal Kamat Restaurant in Durves, Manor. Positioned along one of India’s busiest highway corridors, the facility is expected to serve as a key pit stop for EV users traveling between major industrial hubs in Maharashtra and Gujarat.
The best part of the installation is the 180 kW charger, which can hold a lot of power and is made to cut down on charging time compared to other systems. The company said that the charger can charge compatible electric vehicles from 20% to 80% in about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the battery system of the vehicle. With this fast charging feature, users can cut down on downtime and keep going with their trips.
“This launch is part of our mission to create a seamless, high-speed charging corridor across India’s busiest National Highways,” a Tata Power representative stated. “By placing ultra fast chargers at popular transit points like Vithal Kamat, we ensure that charging fits naturally into a traveler’s break.”
The charging station is part of Tata Power’s EZ Charge network and supports CCS 2 fast-charging technology, making it compatible with a wide range of electric vehicles. The location has been carefully selected to maximize accessibility and convenience for travelers.
The site has more than just fast charging; it also has clean restrooms, places to eat, and places to relax at the restaurant, where people can take a break while their cars charge. The station should be able to handle 25 to 30 cars a day, serving both private and business electric vehicle (EV) users.
This project is part of Tata Power’s larger plan to build more EV charging stations all over India. The company keeps expanding its network and helping to build a reliable and efficient “Electric Highway” network across the country. It has more than 5,500 public charging points in more than 600 cities.
