Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) plans to install almost 600 public quick EV charging stations across India in the next seven years. By the end of 2024, HMIL’s DC fast charging network will include more than 50 stations, carefully placed along highways, in cities, and at dealerships.
Thanks to the company’s present charging infrastructure, which has already made about 50,000 charging sessions possible, over 10,000 EV users from Hyundai and other manufacturers have already received over 7.30 lakh units of energy.
The charging program is made easier by the myHyundai app, which was created by HMIL in collaboration with ChargeZone, Statiq, and Shell India. More than 10,000 EV charging stations are now accessible nationwide thanks to this arrangement, making travel across India—from Kanyakumari to Kashmir—easy.
According to Jae Wan Ryu, the company’s Function Head-Corporate Planning, consumer worries regarding the lack of highway charging points typically limit long-distance EV travel. HMIL intends to address this by enhancing its EV infrastructure by leveraging Hyundai Motor Corporation’s global EV and battery experience.
As part of HMIL’s regional activities, the Tamil Nadu government and HMIL signed a Memorandum of Understanding to install 100 EV charging stations in the state by 2027. Ten of these stations will be operational by the end of 2024. Three charging stations are now open in Chennai and Tiruvannamalai, and two more will come soon.
These charging stations are compatible with all Indian-made four-wheeled EVs. The facilities are carefully placed in places like restaurants, hotels, and shopping malls and offer services like 24-hour CCTV surveillance and on-site assistance.
