Recently, MG Motor India announced its partnership with Fortum Charge And Drive India, to start creating a series of Fast-Charging Stations across the country. As a part of its commitment towards sustainable mobility, MG Motor and Fortum aim to establish a functioning Fast Charging 50(KW) infrastructure, before the launch of MG’s debut EV in India, the MG EZS, which is an all-electric SUV. These smart chargers can be accessed only by an EV user, having cars compatible with different charging standards by registering with Fortum Charge and Drive India through its Mobile App.
Under this organisation, Fortum will install plenty of 50 KW DC Fast Public Charging Stations for Electric Vehicles (EVs) across MG’s showrooms in 5 cities including Delhi-NCR, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Ahmedabad by the end of September this year. One such charging station will come up at MG’s state of the art flagship showroom in Gurugram. The 5-seater, MG EZS is the perfect car for people who want to drive an Electric Vehicle but also need the space and practicality of a compact SUV. This all-electric SUV is a part of MG Motor’s strategy of providing environment-friendly mobility solutions in India in the long-term and to make EVs accessible for all customers across the country.
