ChargeZone and Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) have inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). Through this agreement, 100 HMIL dealerships nationally will be able to install DC 60 kW fast chargers.
The Memorandum of Understanding was signed at HMIL’s Gurugram, Haryana, headquarters by Charge Zone CEO and Founder Kartikey Hariyani and Function Head of Corporate Planning at Hyundai, Jae Wan Ryu.
Through the installation of charging stations at Hyundai dealerships situated in cities and along highways, this cooperation seeks to enhance the public EV charging infrastructure, facilitating mobility within and between cities.
Currently, HMIL has a network of 34 EV fast charging stations and 19 dealerships equipped with DC 60 kW public EV chargers. With this partnership, an additional 100 charging stations will be installed, providing convenience to all EV users. The charging stations will be accessible through the ‘myHyundai’ app or the ‘ChargeZone’ app.
Jae Wan Ryu of Hyundai stated, “Strengthening EV charging infrastructure is crucial for promoting electric mobility and addressing range anxiety. Our partnership with ChargeZone will enhance our EV charging network, benefiting all EV users and supporting India’s carbon neutrality goals.”
Kartikey Hariyani of ChargeZone emphasised, “Our collaboration with Hyundai aims to improve infrastructure for 4-Wheeler Electric Vehicles (BEVs), ensuring reliable and seamless access to charging stations.”
In addition to the dealership network, Hyundai operates 15 fast charging stations across key cities and highways in nine Indian states. HMIL’s “EV Charge” management system, hosted within the “myHyundai” app, enables users to locate charging points, book slots, monitor remotely, and make digital payments. ChargeZone’s network of chargers is also integrated into the “EV Charge” section of the app, alongside HMIL’s chargers and those from third-party operators.
