Tesla has announced the launch date of its first charging station in the country at One BKC, Mumbai. The charging station is set to go be launched on Monday, August 4, 2025.
The Tesla Charging Station features four V4 Supercharging stalls offering high-speed DC charging at up to 250kW (Rs24/kWh) and four AC Destination Charging stalls providing 11kW charging at Rs 14/kWh. With both fast-charging and regular options available, the BKC facility is designed to suit diverse EV user needs.
This site is the first of eight Supercharging locations planned across India, as part of Tesla’s broader infrastructure rollout aimed at enhancing long-distance EV travel across the country.
One of the key highlights is the charging capability of the Tesla Model Y, which can gain up to 267km of range in just 15 minutes via a Supercharger, enough for five round trips between Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport and the Gateway of India.
Tesla Superchargers offer a reliability uptime of 99.95%. Charging performance depends on variables such as battery temperature and current charge level, but Tesla vehicles can smartly route users to available stations and precondition the battery for optimal charging speeds. The Tesla app allows users to locate Supercharger stalls, monitor progress, receive completion alerts, and handle payments, all from their smartphones.
In a parallel move, Tesla has opened its Design Studio to all Indian cities, enabling customers to personalise and order their vehicles online via Tesla’s website.
The Model Y is now available for orders in India, with deliveries prioritised for Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, and Gurugram starting from Q3 2025.
Two trims are available:
- Rear-Wheel Drive: 500km range, 0–100 km/h in 5.9 seconds, base price Rs 59.89 lakh (ex-showroom)
- Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive: 622km range, 0–100 km/h in 5.6 seconds, base price Rs 67.89 lakh (ex-showroom)
Tesla is also offering a complimentary wall connector with every new Model Y purchase, allowing users to charge their vehicles conveniently at home and reduce reliance on charging stations.
