MG Motor India and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) have teamed up to increase the EV charging infrastructure in India. Under this new partnership, HPCL and MG will deploy 50kW/60kW DC fast chargers at major cities and highways across the country. This collaboration aims to provide convenience to electric vehicle users by setting up more EV chargers during long journeys.
The new EV chargers will be installed at HPCL petrol pumps, and all MG customers will be able to access these chargers via the MyMG App. These charging networks will be discoverable through the integrated HPCL network discovery tool. In addition, HPCL is planning to deploy 5,000 EV charging stations in India by December 2024. The MG ZS EV and other EVs compatible with the CCS 2 charging standard can be charged through the public-mode network of stations.
