MG Motor India announced today that it has successfully installed 500 electric vehicle (EV) chargers across the country in just 500 days under its MG Charge initiative.
Launched in mid-2022, the MG Charge initiative aims to establish a sustainable and accessible EV charging infrastructure across India. The project is dedicated to installing 1,000 charging points in 1,000 days in apartments, condominiums, and societies, making charging more convenient for residents and visitors.
MG Motor India, in collaboration with its ecosystem partners – Exicom Telesystems, ElectreeFi, EchargerBays, Ionage, Statiq & Highway Delite, has strategically deployed 7.4kW chargers, averaging one installation per day, covering approximately 50 major cities. This milestone demonstrates the carmaker’s unwavering commitment to accelerating the adoption of green mobility by creating a robust EV ecosystem in the country.
MG Motor India has been instrumental in establishing a robust EV charging infrastructure, with over 15,000 nationwide charging touchpoints, including public and home chargers. The company is also working closely with its ecosystem partners such as Glida, TPCL, BPCL, Jio-bp, Statiq, Zeon, and ChargeZone for setting up EV charging infrastructure, and with Attero and Lohum for battery recycling, reuse, and life extension. Notably, the recent partnership with the Shoonya – Zero Pollution Mobility campaign, led by NITI Aayog, underscores MG Motor India’s commitment to promoting electric vehicles.
In a holistic approach to sustainability, MG Motor India engages in skilling and upskilling initiatives to bridge talent gaps in the evolving electric mobility landscape. The company is dedicated to green manufacturing practices, with 50% of manufacturing energy sourced from renewables. Achieving a 36 percent decrease in CO2 emissions, projections estimate a reduction of 11,889 MT by ’24 year-end. Today, MG Motor India is the second-largest EV seller and sold more than 25,000 units of its EV models – ZS and Comet; which constitute 25-30 percent of the company’s total sales.
