Tata AutoComp joins hands with Tellus Power Green to set up EV charging stations
The partnership between Tata AutoComp and Tellus Power Green will help resolve the lack of proper infrastructure for charging electric vehicles outside metropolitan cities.
DC fast chargers on highways will make a big impact on feasibility of EVs in India
Electric vehicles are coming. There are no two ways about it. Yes, maybe a 1000 years down the line we might use some sort of warp drive to bend space and time, but for now, EVs seem like the next frontier. But for EVs to truly become the solution, there needs to be infrastructure. Sure, cars like the Hyundai Kona and the MG ZS EV don’t need to be charged on a day to day basis if you use them for commuting, but you can’t really do a long road trip in them either. The solution? Installing chargers in public spaces and highways. The tie-up between automotive components giant Tata AutoComp and international EV infrastructure company Tellus Power Green is set to help with just that, and more.
Mr Arvind Goel, MD, Tata Autocomp Systems said, “Tata AutoComp has already established joint ventures for providing electric drivelines as well as battery packs for passenger cars, commercial vehicles as well as fast developing two wheelers and three wheelers in India. Tata AutoComp and Tellus will now provide various sizes of AC chargers from 3 kW to 11kW for home and residential complexes as well as DC fast chargers from 20kW to 300kW to meet the needs to charge various types of vehicles in public places such as office and commercial parking lots, convenience public charging stations within cities as well as highways, dedicated depots for commercial vehicles etc. to name a few.”
Long road trips in EVs may soon become a reality!Setting up DC fast chargers on important highways would improve the feasibility of having an electric vehicle as your only mode of transport to no bounds. Since most modern EVs can get up to 80 per cent charge in around an hour, a food stop while your car charges will be enough to get you juiced up for the rest of your journey. The effort of the Tata Group to help improve EV infrastructure is very evident, and is sure to go a long way in EV charging infrastructure in the country. With more manufacturers taking initiative for the same, it is only a matter of time before owning an EV can be a mainstream choice for most people.

Perhaps as much in love with Porsche 911s as he is with sneakers (and good food), Karan claims his love for cars started before he learnt to speak, even though there is a rumour around the office that he fell asleep while attending his first ever Grand Prix! He likes to find weird quirks about cars and dedicates a fairly large space in his head to random car facts and an equally large space in his heart for cars with cool specs. He came across this career path by chance, and going by how excited he gets as soon as new metal rolls into the office, he seems to be loving everyday of his journey as an automotive journalist.
