MG Motors EV Commitment: Tie-Up With Fortum Even Before The Product Is Launched

British iconic brand MG Motor will launch of its debut EV in India — the MG EZS global pure electric SUV — later this year.

With a full-sized boot and room for five, the MG EZS is the perfect car for people who want to drive an EV but also need the space and practicality of a compact SUV.

The pure electric SUV is part of MG Motor India’s strategy to providing environment-friendly mobility solutions in India in the long run and to make EVs accessible for customers across the country.

It has taken the lead in its commitment to drive electric vehicles in India by announcing its strategic tie up with Finland-based Fortum towards creating DC fast charging infrastructure (50 KW) in the country.

MG Motor has joined hands with the Indian arm of clean energy major — Fortum Charge & Drive India — to install the country’s first 50-KW DC fast-charging EV stations.

Under the partnership, Fortum will install 50 KW CCS/CHAdeMO DC fast public charging stations for electric vehicles across MG’s showrooms in five cities including Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Ahmedabad by September this year to begin with.

One such charging station will come up at MG’s state-of-the-art flagship showroom in Gurugram.

The smart chargers can be accessed by an EV user, having cars compatible with CCS/CHAdeMO charging standards by registering with Fortum Charge & Drive India through its Mobile App.
