Mumbai:  Runwal Group’s R City Mall has partnered with electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions provider, Tata Power to offer green mobility solutions for both four- and two-wheeled passenger vehicles, Tata Power announced in a release on Monday. Tata Power will deploy eight chargers, including super-fast 60 kW charging points, across the premises of R City mall, located on LBS Road of Ghatkopar, a suburb in Mumbai.
