Last month, Tesla officially entered the Indian automotive market by launching its Model Y electric SUV in the country.
Tesla’s entry into India was anticipated for a long time, but it got delayed due to government policies and the automaker losing interest over the years.
Earlier this year, Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met in the United States. Around the same time, Tesla had already begun testing Model Y prototypes in India — a clear sign of a launch soon.
Fast-forward a few months, Tesla inaugurated its first showroom in Mumbai in July — called the Experience Center. And today, the automaker is opening its first Supercharger station in Mumbai as well.
Tesla is currently offering two variants of the Model Y in India. The base RWD with 500 km range and the Long Range RWD that boasts a 622 km range (WLTP standard).
Tesla Supercharger Mumbai Location
Tesla chose the affluent area of Bandra West in Mumbai metro for its vehicle showroom and first Supercharger station (location details below). The Apple store is also in the neighbourhood of the Tesla Experience Center in Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC).
The first Tesla Supercharger station in Mumbai is located at:
3V68+73R Bandra Kurla Complex (One BKC),
Konkan Division Mumbai Maharashtra, India 400051
According to Google Maps, the One BKC Supercharger is 2.3 km away from the Tesla Experience Center, Mumbai. The travel time between the two locations is approximately 8 minutes, depending on the traffic flow. During daytime and office hours, there are at least two busy patches between these locations.
Charging Cost and Idle Fees
Tesla’s One BKC, Mumbai charging station hosts four Supercharger stalls and four Tesla Destination Chargers.
Tesla has installed the latest V4 Superchargers at this location. Tesla V4 Superchargers output a maximum of 250 kW of power, while the AC Destination Chargers can charge your Tesla at up to 11 kW.
Tesla India has set the charging fee of the 250 kW DC Supercharger at Rs 24/kWh. Charging at the 11 kW Destination Charger costs $14/kWh (kWh = 1 unit of electricity).
The size of the Model Y Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) battery pack is around 62.5 kWh. So, charging from 0-100% would cost around Rs 1,500 at a Supercharger and around Rs 850-900 at a Destination Charger.
Charging at home depends on the rate of electricity per unit (kWh) in Mumbai. Daily charging a Tesla or EV at home can increase the price of the monthly electricity bill, as you can jump from one tariff slab to another if you don’t have an exact idea of the consumption.
Because of its low output capacity, a Destination Charger takes hours to fully charge a Tesla. A Tesla Supercharger on the other hand can give you around 260 km of range in just 15 minutes on the new Model Y Juniper.
Tesla has set the price of idle fees at Rs 80 per minute (around 91 cents a minute). Yes, that seems a bit high but if there is no restraint, the limited charging space would become congested easily in a megacity like Mumbai.
