Hyundai Motor India to Install 600 Fast Public EV Chargers

Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has unveiled plans to establish nearly 600 public EV fast charging stations across India over the next seven years. By the end of 2024, the network will expand to include 50 fast-charging stations, covering highways, cities, and Hyundai dealerships.

This initiative underscores HMIL’s commitment to fostering green mobility, addressing EV adoption challenges, and supporting India’s shift toward cleaner energy.

Driving the EV Ecosystem

Mr Jae Wan Ryu, Head of Corporate Planning at HMIL, stated, “The EV market is projected to grow significantly by 2030. A lack of charging infrastructure has hindered long-distance EV travel, which we aim to overcome with a robust network of fast chargers.”

Hyundai is leveraging its global EV and battery technology expertise to build a comprehensive EV ecosystem in India. The infrastructure investment is set to support the anticipated growth in EV demand.

MoU with Tamil Nadu Government

HMIL has signed an MoU with the Tamil Nadu government to establish 100 EV charging stations across the state by 2027. As part of this collaboration, 10 charging stations will become operational by the end of 2024, with three already functional in Chennai and Tiruvannamalai.

Features of the myHyundai App

HMIL’s myHyundai app offers access to over 10,000 EV charging points nationwide through partnerships with ChargeZone, Statiq, and others. This ensures seamless travel across the country, from Kashmir to Kanyakumari. The app also provides features like charging tariffs, location mapping, and availability updates.

Accessibility and Convenience

Hyundai’s EV charging stations are designed for all 4W EV owners in India. Key features include:

• Accessibility to all Indian-made 4W EVs.
• Strategic locations at highways and urban hubs.
• Amenities like coffee shops, restaurants, and retail spaces.
• Enhanced safety through 24/7 CCTV surveillance.

Prominent cities like Gurugram, Mumbai, and Bengaluru are included in the initial rollout, along with major highways such as Delhi-Chandigarh and Mumbai-Pune.

Advanced Charging Technology

Hyundai’s fast chargers include advanced configurations like DC 150 kW, DC 60 kW, and DC 30 kW, catering to varied EV requirements. These advanced chargers ensure fast and efficient EV charging, making them user-friendly and time-saving.

Current Market Scenario

Hyundai Motor India has already sold over 4,000 EVs, including the Hyundai IONIQ 5 and Hyundai KONA, as of November 2024. However, as of 1:45 pm Hyundai Motor India’s stock price was down by 1.45% on December 9, 2024.
