The additional time in an electric car is just 5 mins compared to an ICE car, which is fantastic.

Slow Charging
There are multiple slow charging locations on the highway. Use the Plugshare app to find out.


So guys, there you have it! Bengaluru-Mysuru highway is electrified!
We also hope Tata Power install more points on this highway, that way EV owners will have adequate backup points during the journey.
