What charging options will be available at home for Tata Curvv EV?
For home charging, Tata will offer two main options:1. Standard 15A wall socket charging - uses the portable charger included with the vehicle, adds about 20-25 km range per hour2. 7.2 kW AC wallbox charger - professionally installed, adds about 40-45 km range per hourThe wallbox charger will be offered through Tata's partnership with charging infrastructure companies. They typically handle the entire installation process including site inspection, electrical upgrades if needed, and installation. The cost is around ₹40,000-60,000 including installation, but many states offer subsidies for home charger installation.
Having installed a home charger for my current EV, here's the practical reality for Curvv EV home charging: Portable charger: Comes free with car, plugs into regular 15A socket, charges at 3.3 kW (~20 km/hour) Wallbox charger: Optional 7.2 kW unit, needs separate wiring, charges at ~45 km/hour Installation: Requires dedicated 32A circuit with proper earthingThe wallbox is definitely worth it if you drive more than 50 km daily. It can fully charge the Curvv overnight (8-9 hours) versus 18-20 hours with the portable charger. Tata usually has tie-ups with companies like Statiq or Zeon* for home charger installations. The process is pretty smooth - they assess your parking space, check your electrical load, and install within a week.
