MG Motor and Tata Power have deployed the 50 kW Superfast public EV charging station in Chennai. The inauguration ceremony was hosted at the MG Dealership on February 24.
The deployment is in line with MG’s plan to enhance the national EV charging ecosystem with 50 kW and 60 kW DC superfast charging stations. MG along with its partners has so far installed 22 superfast charging stations across 17 cities in India. The automaker’s charging infrastructure are present in cities including Delhi-NCR, Bangalore, and tier-2 cities such as Ahmedabad and Nagpur. The Chennai launch is the automaker’s fifth launch in 2021, close on the heels of Cochin, Coimbatore and Mangalore.
All vehicles compatible with the CCS fast-charging standard can use the latest EV charging station in Chennai. MG extends a 5-way charging ecosystem to its customers, including a free-of-cost AC fast-charger (installed at the customer’s home/office), extended charging network, a plug-and-charge cable onboard, and charge-on-the-go with RSA (Roadside Assistance).
Speaking on the deployment, Gaurav Gupta, Chief Commercial Officer, MG Motor India said, “At MG, we are building a CASE (Connected, Autonomous, Shared, and Electric) ecosystem aimed at meeting the future requirements of the country. Furthering our commitment to creating a 5-way charging infrastructure for our customers, the new stations will further augment the public and highway charging infrastructure. We are confident that the new EV charging station will go a long way in creating a sustainable, tech-driven future of the city."
“We are thrilled to continue our strengthened association with MG Motor India by deploying the Chennai charging station. We will continue to provide a seamless charging experience to our customers. We wish to build a decent ecosystem for our potential EV customers in the future thereby, promoting the adoption of such green mobility solutions," said Mr. Rajesh Naik, Chief – Tata Power New Business Services.
