Tata Motors is addressing a significant concern for electric vehicle (EV) owners in India: charging anxiety. Despite the growth of charging infrastructure to over 13,000 points nationwide, EV users often face challenges in finding available and high-quality chargers, particularly when planning long trips. To eliminate this problem Tata Motors has introduced a nationwide charge point aggregator feature within its Tata Motors Connected Car app.
The Tata Motors Connected Car app now boasts the widest integration of charge points across India, encompassing more than 15 charge point operators (CPOs). This extensive network integration allows users to access a vast array of charging stations, enhancing convenience and reducing the likelihood of encountering unavailable or subpar chargers.
A standout feature of the app is its real-time charger status availability. This function provides users with up-to-the-minute information on charger availability, helping them avoid unnecessary detours to fully occupied or out-of-service stations. The app also offers navigation to charger locations, guiding users directly to the nearest available charging point with ease.
Integration with Tata EV data further enhances the app's utility. This feature enables trip planning based on the vehicle’s range and charger usage data, allowing users to plan their journeys more effectively. By considering the car's battery level and the location of charging stations, the app helps EV owners optimise their routes and minimise the risk of running out of charge.
Additionally, the app includes a rating system for charge points, with reviews from fellow Tata.ev owners. This community-driven feature provides valuable insights into the quality and reliability of different charging stations, helping users make informed decisions about where to charge their vehicles.
