This collaboration centers around the promotion of Tata Power’s EZ Charge points through the Zoomcar platform. The primary goal is to provide robust support to existing and prospective EV owners, as well as to enhance the experience for Zoomcar’s current customer base.
Seamless Charging Experience Nationwide
Tata Power, a leading name in EV charging infrastructure, operates a wide network of EV charging points across the nation. The collaboration with Zoomcar seeks to offer a “seamless” and user-friendly EV charging experience at these stations, contributing to the growth of the EV ecosystem in India.
Expansive Charging Network
