American electric car giant Tesla is rapidly expanding its operations in the Indian market. After recently opening its first showroom, the company is now set to launch its first-ever Electric Vehicle (EV) charging station in the country on August 4 at the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) in Mumbai.

Eight charging units at the new hub

The new charging hub will feature a total of eight charging units, which include four V4 Superchargers (DC fast chargers) and four Destination Chargers (AC chargers).

• V4 Superchargers: ₹24 per kilowatt-hour (kWh)
• Destination Chargers: ₹14 per kWh

According to Tesla, the V4 Superchargers can charge the Model Y to provide a range of 267 km in just 15 minutes.
