Mumbai: Runwal Group’s R City Mall has partnered with electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions provider, Tata Power to offer green mobility solutions for both four- and two-wheeled passenger vehicles, Tata Power announced in a release on Monday. Tata Power will deploy eight chargers, including super-fast 60 kW charging points, across the premises of R City mall, located on LBS Road of Ghatkopar, a suburb in Mumbai. EV owners can choose to do either quick top-ups on the go or substantial charging during long shopping trips, based on their requirements.
“We are delighted to collaborate with R City to make EV charging solutions easily accessible to EV owners in Mumbai. We believe that a large-scale transition to clean mobility can only be attained through a robust and expansive network of EV charging points,” said, Virendra Goyal, head of business development (EV Charging), Tata Power.
