Quick Highlights:14 new fully manned Tata.ev–Voltran fast-charging stations launched across AP and TelanganaSite capacities range from 120 kW to 360 kW, enabling 30–40 minute 80 percent top-upsStrategic coverage across major corridors: Hyd–BLR, Hyd–Vijayawada, Hyd–Tirupati and NH1624x7 staff, clean lounges, universal payments and priority benefits for Tata.ev ownersTata.ev and Voltran Roll Out 14 New Manned Fast-Charging Stations Across Andhra Pradesh and TelanganaTata.ev has expanded its rapid-charging footprint in southern India by commissioning 14 fully manned MegaCharger hubs across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana in partnership with Voltran. With these additions, Tata.ev’s national fast-charging count crosses 70 sites, marking a major leap toward a broader, more dependable national EV infrastructure. The rollout is designed to address one of the biggest concerns of electric vehicle owners — reliable, predictable highway charging.These new stations operate round-the-clock and are staffed by trained on-ground marshals who assist with charging, payments and basic troubleshooting. The experience mirrors a conventional fuel-station stop, except the pumps are replaced with high-power DC chargers capable of delivering rapid top-ups. For EV drivers, especially those traveling intercity, this shift from unmanned points to staffed hubs brings certainty, better uptime and fewer surprises on long drives.Flagship Sites and Coverage Across Major Southern CorridorsAmong the 14 newly opened hubs, the flagship site sits in Hyderabad’s Madhapur . This station offers 12 bays and a total output of 360 kW, making it one of the most significant urban fast-charging facilities in the region. Its placement near Hi-Tech City and Jubilee Hills gives it high strategic value for daily commuters and long-distance travelers passing through the tech corridor.Beyond the city, the network maps neatly onto southern India’s busiest routes. The Hyderabad-Bengaluru highway now includes fast-charging stops at Beechupalli and Anantapur , splitting the journey into practical segments. For drivers heading east, Suryapet anchors the Hyderabad-Vijayawada corridor with a large, high-capacity site.The Hyderabad-Tirupati run benefits from chargers at Mydukur , Miryalaguda and Tirupati itself, bringing consistency to a route used by thousands of religious and leisure travelers. Meanwhile, the NH16 stretch — spanning Srikakulam, Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada and onward to Chennai — now features stations at Kaza , Ongole , Nellore , Srikakulam , Gannavaram , Rajanagaram and Anakapalle .One common thread across all these highways is thoughtful spacing. Most stations are 100 to 170 km apart, a spread that suits small, mid and large battery EVs alike. Instead of planning trips around uncertain plugs, owners can rely on predictable stops supported by both infrastructure and staff.High-Power Charging for Faster, Multiple-Vehicle SessionsEvery site in this rollout guarantees at least 120 kW of DC fast charging. Select hubs push much higher, with total site capacities of 240 kW or even 360 kW, allowing multiple cars to charge simultaneously without significant drop-offs in power delivery. Depending on the car’s peak charge rate, many modern EVs can jump from low state of charge to 80 percent in roughly 30 to 40 minutes.Real-world results still vary by model and battery management, but the consistent availability of high-power guns, multiple bays and on-site support gives drivers far more control over their travel schedule. For Tata.ev owners specifically, priority support and up to 25 percent lower tariffs add an extra incentive to stay within the network.Universal Payments and User-Friendly ExperienceOne notable advantage of these stations is payment simplicity. Rather than forcing app downloads or registration, the hubs accept cash, card and UPI payments directly, making them accessible for first-time EV users, rental-car drivers and out-of-state travelers. This lowers entry barriers and keeps queues moving without technical friction.The stations also resemble modern highway stops rather than barebones charging points. Air-conditioned lounges, restrooms, food options, clear signage, well-lit premises and free Wi-Fi are part of the standard template. Because each site is staffed 24x7, drivers can rely on immediate support if anything goes wrong, reducing downtime from maloperation or equipment confusion.Job Creation and Better Maintenance Through Manned InfrastructureUnlike unmanned chargers that often suffer from misuse or unreported breakdowns, these manned stations introduce a strong operational backbone. Staff help manage queues, guide drivers unfamiliar with charging protocols, and prevent misuse of connectors or bays. This approach not only boosts uptime but also creates employment opportunities similar to those found at fuel stations.Well-maintained sites translate into a smoother experience for every brand of EV. Even though not all EVs can take advantage of the full 120 kW or higher power, drivers still benefit from safe, monitored, fully functional charging equipment with transparent pricing and clear assistance.Also Read: Charging Etiquette: What Every EV Owner Should KnowA Scalable Blueprint for the Future of Highway EV TravelThese 14 hubs significantly simplify intercity EV travel across southern India. Whether driving from Hyderabad to Bengaluru, cruising toward Vijayawada, planning a pilgrimage to Tirupati or covering the NH16 coastline, drivers now have dependable fast-charging anchors along the way.The broader ambition is larger. Tata.ev plans to rapidly scale this partner-led, verified network with even more MegaCharger sites nationwide. For buyers evaluating EV brands, the assurance of a staffed, discount-backed charging network can meaningfully influence purchasing decisions — especially for those who frequently travel long distances.Ultimately, success depends on execution: charger reliability, trained staff, fair tariffs and smooth queuing. If the current service quality sustains, this southern network could become the model for India’s next wave of rapid-charging expansion, making long-distance EV travel not just possible, but confidently routine.
