The two companies have built a network of 11 DC chargers across Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Ahmedabad since 2019
MG Motor India and EV charging services solutions provider Fortum Charge & Drive India have collaborated to set up a 50 kW superfast public EV charging station in Pune accessible to anyone having a Combined Charging System (CCS2)-compliant EV.
As per a statement released by the company, the public charging station can charge an EV (including MG Motor’s ZS) upto 80 per cent in 50 minutes.
The two companies had entered into a partnership in 2019. Since then, MG Motor India and Fortum have built a network of 11 DC chargers across Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Ahmedabad.
Gaurav Gupta, Chief Commercial Officer, MG Motor India, said, “Our collaboration with Fortum reiterates our commitment towards enabling the infrastructure for environment-friendly mobility solutions in the country. The ZS EV’s availability in more cities in a phase-wise manner is a step closer to achieving sustainability goals.”
Awadhesh Kumar Jha, Vice President of Fortum Charge and Drive India, said, “We are happy to extend our partnership with MG Motor to further bolster the super-fast charging network in the country. With this charger on the Fortum Charge & Drive network, an EV user can travel between Mumbai and Pune without any range anxiety as both the cities have Fortum chargers.”
The statement added that other charging options for the MG ZS EV include 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), among others.
