MG Motor India Announced today a new venture, “MG Charge” to provide better EV Charging infrastructure for Indian customers. Through this new initiative, MG will install 1,000 AC fast chargers in residential areas across India, a first by an OEM in India, the company says.
MG’s new smart chargers will be Type 2 chargers, which will support current and future flagship electric vehicles. In addition, the chargers will be SIM-enabled and supported through a shareable charger management system.
The company claims that the connected AC charging stations will cater to the residents and visitors of these societies for their EV charging needs and will operate 24*7. The initiative will enable societies to become future ready, green and encourage the transition to electric vehicles.
Speaking at the launch, Rajiv Chaba, Chairman and Managing Director, MG Motor India said, “MG continues to work towards its mission of growing the EV ecosystem in India. With the launch of MG Charge, we will bring in more convenience and address the charging concern of the customers, thereby incentivizing more towards adopting the EV lifestyle.
He further added, “With this initiative, we will now have a 6-way charging solution for our customers and will provide more assurance and confidence.”
MG Motor India will partner with Electreefi (MG Developer Program and Grant 2.0 winner), Exicom, Echargebays, Resident Welfare Association and other new partners to enable this initiative. In addition, MG will collaborate with RWAs and provide end-to-end guidance, coordination and support for the installation process, saving cost for the selected residential societies.
Together with partners and RWAs, MG aims to strengthen the community charger infrastructure in the future.
