Tata EZ Charge offers a vast EV charging network with user-friendly features, though higher costs and limited availability pose challenges.

Tata EZ Charge has India’s biggest EV charging network. So far, Tata Power has installed 3000 public and semi-public EZ Charge points in more than 450 cities. In this blog, we will understand how to charge your EV using EZ charge, the Cost and Time for charging an EV with EZ Charge at Vegas Mall, Dwarka Sector 14, Delhi location. 

It is important to have the EZ Charge app installed in your mobile phone to use EZ Charge to recharge your EV. On the app itself, you can find the nearby Tata EZ Chargers. We reached Vegas Mall and found the setup of Tata EZ charge was located in the basement near the exit point at B3. The first plus point was, even after 2 levels down the ground, there was no network issue on the app. The area was properly painted and lit up where the EZ Charge was set.

First Outlook of Tata Power EZ Charge

At the station, there were 2 DC fast chargers and 2 AC-type 2 slow chargers. On the app, there were 3 chargers showing active. We assume there was one charger in not working condition, as Tata keeps their app updated. Each charger had 1 port or charging gun with each EZ charger.
