Tata Power launches 180 kW ultra-fast EV charging station on Mumbai-Ahmedabad highway

Mumbai: Tata Power launched its first 180 kW ultra-fast EV charging station on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad highway to strengthen intercity electric mobility and make long-distance travel faster and more convenient for electric vehicle users.

The charging station went live at Vithal Kamat Restaurant in Durves, Manor, on NH-48. Tata Power said the site marked a key addition to India's growing EV infrastructure on one of the country's busiest highway corridors and aimed to reduce charging time while improving the ease and reliability of highway travel for electric vehicle owners.

The station is part of Tata Power's EZ Charge network and supports CCS 2 fast-charging standards, making it compatible with a wide range of electric vehicles. The charger can power vehicles from 20% to 80% in an estimated 15 to 30 minutes, enabling quicker turnarounds for private and commercial users.

Tata Power said the location added convenience for travellers, who could use clean restrooms, dining options, and comfortable spaces at the restaurant while their vehicles charged.

The company said the launch addressed range anxiety by ensuring reliable and rapid charging access on a major intercity route and reflected its strategy of expanding high-speed charging infrastructure across national highways and mobility corridors.
