A
rising demand for sustainable transport infrastructure has resulted in an
increasing number of hospitality brands investing in electric vehicle (EV)
charging points.
With sustainability at the core of Indian Hotels Company
(IHCL), the company’s brand, amã Stays & Trails – India’s first branded
home stay portfolio, has collaborated with Tata Power – one of India’s largest
private sector integrated companies, to install EV charging points at over 30
of its villas and heritage bungalows across 11 destinations.
This is a step forward in catering to the
evolving needs of our environmentally conscious consumer customers by reducing
their travel carbon footprint and embracing a more sustainable future.
This
collaboration marks an important step for both flagship Tata Group Companies in
furthering their commitment towards adopting more sustainable and
cost-efficient business practices. Under the partnership, Tata Power EZ Charge
has established EV chargers for guests staying at the amã Stays & Trails
home stays, allowing them to recharge their electric vehicles easily. Guests
can be assured of Tata Power’s reliable and worry-free EV charging points
within the comfort of their home stay, making driving vacations in their
electric vehicles even more accessible while discovering breath-taking
destinations with amã Stays & Trails.
With
a portfolio of 59 heritage bungalows and villas including 23 in pipeline, amã
Stays & Trails brings alive the local culture and heritage of the
destination through authentic and immersive experiences. Now families and
groups of friends can bond together in the exclusivity of beautiful bungalows
and villas while enjoying a reliable and seamless EV charging experience
courtesy of Tata Power.
Tata
Power has deployed an extensive EV charging infrastructure with over 1000 EV
charging points across 180 different cities under the EZ Charge brand along
with a digital platform to facilitate an easy & smooth customer experience.
This network of public EV charging stations provides innovative and seamless EV
charging experiences for Tata Power’s customers across Offices, Malls, Hotels,
Retail Outlets, and places of public access, enabling clean mobility and
freedom from range anxiety.
Tata
Power EZ Chargers ecosystem covers the entire value chain of Public chargers,
Captive chargers, Bus/ Fleet chargers, and Home chargers. Tata Power has also
developed a robust software platform for customers of EV charging and has
released a mobile-based application (Tata Power EZ Charge) to give its
consumers a simple and easy charging experience. The app helps in locating EV charging
stations, charging EVs, and making bill payments online, making it one of its
kind.
