TPEM and Rajasthan Solar Association partner to promote solar energy for EV charging

Tata Passenger Electric Mobility, a subsidiary of Tata Motors and the Rajasthan Solar Association (RSA), have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to promote electric vehicles (EVs) and the use of solar energy for EV charging in Rajasthan. 

Customers who have installed a solar power system at their home or place of business will be eligible for an additional discount on the purchase of a Tata EV. RSA will oversee the certification process, ensuring that eligible customers can access the applicable discount in Rajasthan. The association will also promote the benefits of TPEM’s electric vehicle portfolio across the state.

Balaje Rajan, Chief Strategy Officer, Tata Passenger Electric Mobility and Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles, said, “Rooftop solar presents a unique opportunity for EV owners, offering the twin advantages of low-cost power and zero-emission mobility. 

Over 90% of EV customers charge at home and nearly 30% already use rooftop solar for home charging. By leveraging this synergy, EV users can effectively eliminate fuel costs and enable true zero-cost mobility. In our endeavor to further develop EV infrastructure, we have introduced packages bringing together rooftop solar installations while purchasing our EVs.”

Nitin Agarwal, CEO, Rajasthan Solar Association, said, “This collaboration will mark a revolutionary step in Rajasthan’s electric vehicle consumption as it combines solar power with EVs, representing a significant step in fostering green energy and reducing reliance on traditional fuels, marking a major milestone in Rajasthan’s journey towards a sustainable future.”
