Tesla's First Supercharger: Having inaugurated its first showroom in Mumbai’s BKC (Bandra Kurla Complex) three weeks ago, US-based EV maker Tesla has confirmed that it will launch its first charging station on August 4 in BKC area. This charging station will feature four V4 Supercharger stalls (for quick charging), along with four Destination charging stalls (AC chargers). The soon-to-launch charging station, according to Tesla, will be the first of eight initial ones to be set up in Mumbai and Delhi. In total, Tesla plans to install 16 Superchargers in India.

Capable of achieving a maximum charging speed of 250kW, the V4 Supercharger will be available for Rs 24 per kWh. As for the destination chargers, commuters will have to shell out Rs 14 per kWh for a 11kW charge. The V4 Supercharger is built on a 1,000V bus, and has a 3,000mm-long liquid-cooled cable for high power output and quick charging.
