Chandigarh-Shimla Highway Now Energised With Charging Infrastructure

Tata Power, which has quietely emerged as one of India’s largest and leading EV charging solutions providers, has announced the activation of its electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure along the Chandigarh- Shimla highway. Covering a total distance of 111 kms and addressing the demand for reliable charging options on this popular route, the strategically positioned EZ Charge stations will make it much more easier for travellers on EVs to move stress free.  The chargers are located at Hotel Falcon Crest on Chandigarh-Shimla Highway around Kandaghat and The Oberoi Cecil, Chaura Maidan Road near Shimla.

While the first charging point is located at a distance of 83 kilometres from Chandigarh to Hotel Falcon Crest, the second charging point is at a distance of 26 kilometres from Hotel Falcon Crest to The Oberoi Cecil. Consumers can easily locate the two stations using the Tata Power EZ Charge mobile app. They can also make online payments for their charging sessions or use an RFID Card to simply Tap.Charge.Go.

Even EV travellers coming from Delhi to Shimla will find the multiple charging points along the route to Chandigarh useful, refuel at the scenic Kalaghat Falcon Crest hotel location, and then proceed to Shimla, where they can refill again at Oberoi Shimla or Oberoi Wildflower Shimla.

Tata Power’s nationwide EZ Charge network spreads over 420 cities with more than 62,000 home chargers, 4,900 public and semi-public charging points, and 460 bus-charging stations that are present at diverse and strategic locations expanding EV charging accessibility across the country. The company is also present across major national and state highways on diverse locations such as hotels, commercial complexes, car dealerships, etc., across more than 25 states and five union territories.

It has benefited extensively from its group firm Tata Motors early mover advantage into the EV auto sector, and has been a key partner in installing EV charging at home and elsewhere for Tata Motors EV owners. What has stood out has been the reliability of the Tata Power network, when compared to multiple other providers who have struggled to  deliver high uptime for their charging facilities.
