MG Motor India inaugurated 12 DC fast charging stations for EVs on the Delhi-Jalandhar corridor in partnership with Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL). The first MG Motor-BPCL fast-charging highway corridor will have the charging points installed at approx. every 100 Kms on both sides of this busy highway. The strategic partnership between MG Motor India and BPCL will work towards covering more such major highways across India by establishing EV charging infrastructure in the coming months of the year 2023.
MG ZS EV owners can enjoy preferential experiences at BPCL stations with the added benefits of discounted charging rates. The customers of MG ZS EV will be able to locate the charging station from their MG in-car dashboard and the MyMG App and make payments through HelloBPCL mobile application.
Gaurav Gupta, CCO MG Motor India, said, “MG has been at the forefront of the development of a strong EV ecosystem since the launch of the ZS EV in 2020. We intend to establish a holistic ecosystem in India to accelerate EV adoption, and the new chargers at the BPCL fuel stations should provide the necessary impetus for people to switch to electric mobility.”
Subhankar Sen, Head Retail Initiatives & Brand, BPCL said “A cleaner planet is better for everyone and decarbonisation is a challenge that requires broad-reaching, multi-faceted solutions and we in BPCL are playing our part by setting up the network of electric vehicle fast charging highway corridors to address the range, discovery, and time anxieties of EV owners. We firmly believe this will hasten the adoption of Electric Vehicles in the country.“
Since its inception, MG Motor India has set up its multi-step charging system with AC chargers and DC fast chargers in residential communities and MG showrooms.
