The collaboration with top energy companies like Tata Power, Fortum Charge, eChargeBays, Delta, Exicom and Umicore help in the development of building a feasible e-mobility ecosystem that consists of DC fast charging, home and office charging and the proper recycling of e-waste generated from these sources. To encourage more people to join the EV movement MG Motor is providing a 5-way charging ecosystem to its customers for free. This package consists of a free-of-cost AC fast-charger installed at the customer’s home or office , an extended charging network, a plug-and-charge cable onboard, and a charge-on-the-go with Roadside Assistance.
