Tesla said this will be the first of eight Supercharging sites announced during its Mumbai launch last month.
Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, recently launched Tesla’s first showroom in India in Mumbai. Now, the electric car maker will open its first charging station in Mumbai’s BKC on August 4, the company announced on Friday. The station will have four V4 supercharging stalls for DC charging and four destination charging stalls for AC charging.

The superchargers will offer a peak charging speed of 250 kW, priced at Rs 24 per kWh, while the destination chargers will provide 11 kW at Rs 14 per kWh.

According to Tesla, the Model Y can gain up to 267 kilometres of range in just 15 minutes using its Superchargers — enough for five round trips between Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport and the Gateway of India.
