MG Motor India And Bharat Petroleum Joins Hands To Expand India’s EV Charging Infrastructure

• The partnership will see the two companies install EV chargers across highways and within cities, and create technologies to manage these systems.

• Currently, MG Motor India only has the ZS EV as its electric offering.

• A second MG EV rivalling the Tata Nexon EV is slated to arrive in 2023.

In order to have proper adoption of electric vehicles, having a strong charging infrastructure is absolutely paramount for that to happen. To help make that happen, MG Motor India and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) have partnered up to enhance the EV charging infrastructure. 

In this partnership, the two companies will install EV chargers across highways and within cities, and create technologies to manage these systems. MG Motor India already has a vast charging ecosystem, with AC chargers and DC fast chargers in residential communities and MG showrooms. 

This includes a free-of-cost AC fast-charger (installed at the customer’s home/office), a plug-and-charge cable onboard, and charge-on-the-go with RSA (Roadside Assistance), and community chargers. As for Bharat Petroleum, the company is aiming to install up to 7000 conveniently located fast charging stations in the country within the next 2-3 years.
