Tata Power's EV Charging Solutions and Zoomcar’s collaboration intends to simplify the process of charging electric vehicles and address the challenges that can come with using charging stations. Moreover, Tata Power's EZ Charge points will reflect on the Zoomcar platform for existing and potential EV owners along with Zoomcar's customers.

In July 2023, Tata Power took a step to enhance the EV charging experience. They introduced an RFID card that lets EV users start charging by tapping the EZ CHARGE RFID card on any EZ charger location in the country. This move aims to simplify and streamline the process for users, making it convenient to charge their electric vehicles.
