ChargeZone and TATA.ev launch Mega Charging Hub on Mumbai–Pune Expressway

ChargeZone and TATA.ev have announced the launch of a co-branded Mega Charging Hub at Khalapur on the Mumbai–Pune Expressway. The hub is located at a food mall along the highway.

TATA.ev introduced Mega Charging Hubs in 2025 as part of its initiative to expand EV charging infrastructure across highways and urban locations. The Khalapur hub has a total installed capacity of 720 kW and is the 75th site developed under the partnership between ChargeZone and TATA.ev. According to the official statement, the collaboration aims to deploy more than 100 such hubs across national highways.

The expansion of charging infrastructure beyond urban areas is being undertaken to support intercity EV travel. The Khalapur facility allows up to 10 vehicles to charge simultaneously. It includes five dispensers with 10 charging points and supports charging of up to 360 kW in boost mode. The site is located at a highway stop that offers parking, food outlets, restrooms, and retail services. TATA.ev customers are eligible for discounts of up to 25% at this location.

Kartikey Hariyani, Founder and CEO of ChargeZone, stated that “Highway charging is the backbone of intercity electrification, and that backbone needs to be built at scale and built right. The launch of the Mega Charging hub at Khalapur marks a significant milestone in our journey to build a high-power, future-ready EV charging network across India. With a 720 kW capacity, this installation sets a new benchmark for public charging infrastructure in the country. Our focus is on enabling fast, reliable, and seamless intercity EV travel, and this partnership with Tata.ev is a strong step in that direction as we scale across strategic national corridors.”

We are confident that collaborations like these will play a defining role in making long-distance EV journeys dependable and convenient.”
