  • Tata Power EZ Charge: Tata's app provides an extensive charging station network for its users. The app includes all the essential details you require for a positive charging experience.

What to Consider in an EV Charging Station?

Since public EV charging stations are still a relatively recent phenomen in India, it is essential to understand your options. When you decide to use a public EV charging station, you need to note what EV plugs they offer. The EV plugs should match the configuration of your car.

Since there are no agreed-upon standards for EV plugs, you might have to do some digging to find one suited for your car. Below, we have listed the different types of EV plugs:

  • Type 1 AC Charger
  • Type 2 Charger
  • Combined Charging System
  • CHAdeMo Charger
  • GB/T Charger

It would be best to consider how powerful the EV charger at the station is to determine the charging time.
