MG Motor to set up EV charging stations in India

According to a media report, MG Motor has partnered with Fortum - a Finland-based clean energy company, to set up electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in India. 

Fortum will reportedly install 50 kW CCS and Chademo DC fast charging stations at MG dealerships in Delhi-NCR, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Bangalore and Ahmedabad by September 2019. Users will be able to access the smart chargers by registering with Fortum Charge & Drive India through its mobile app.

MG is preparing to launch its first electric SUV called the eZS in India. It is based on the MG ZS and features a similar exterior styling. It is expected to be powered by a 52.5 kWh lithium-ion battery, that is claimed to offer a maximum range of 350-400 km on a single charge. Recharging the battery to its full capacity is expected to take around 8 hours using a wall charger.
