Tesla has announced the accelerated rollout of its Supercharger network across India, ahead of its anticipated launch in September. As part of its commitment to supporting a seamless electric vehicle (EV) experience, Tesla is actively setting up high-speed charging stations in key metropolitan regions, including Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. This strategic infrastructure development aims to ensure robust support for the upcoming vehicle launch and reinforce Tesla’s presence in India’s rapidly growing EV market.
Another senior Tesla executive speaking to the PTI said that it is actively in the process of building in a number of locations such as Gurugram and Noida and Saket in Delhi region. There are also more installations planned in Mumbai and Bengaluru to serve the early adopters and be able to support initial vehicle fleet of Tesla.
This fast track on infrastructure is part of the larger strategy in which Tesla is developing a full ecosystem on electric vehicles in India even before its first deliveries. Experts point out the importance of an available charging infrastructure once it begins, to overcome the range anxiety and achieve long distance travel, thereby making it faster to make consumer adoption.
The entry of Tesla will intensify the intensity of competition in the already expanding market of electric vehicles (EV) in India, which has high levels of domestically owned and produced cars as well as international companies. The supercharger of the company that has been praised because of the ability to charge the vehicle so rapidly and to integrate with the Tesla cars is likely to position the company ahead of other electric vehicles in charging infrastructure around the nation.
