Hyundai have joined hands with Tata Power to offer electric vehicle charging solutions across the country. Under this partnership, Hyundai India plans to set up 60kW DC fast chargers across 34 dealerships in 29 cities. These chargers will be capable of faster charging times compared to the already available 7.2kW AC chargers at the aforementioned dealerships. The DC fast chargers will be available to all-electric vehicle owners and users of Tata Power EZ Charge mobile app. Customers will be able to pre-book a slot and also access the live status of the chargers.

In addition to this, Hyundai intend to develop a wide network of charging stations across the country with Tata Power. Tata Power will also offer end-to-end charging solutions to Hyundai EV owners, including home installation of EV chargers. Hyundai also plan to offer special tariffs for Hyundai EV owners in terms of charging costs at their dealerships.
