Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with CHARGE ZONE to enhance HMIL’s electric vehicle (EV) roadmap in alignment with the Government of India’s EV adoption strategies. Under this MoU, CHARGE ZONE will install 60 kW DC fast chargers at 100 HMIL dealerships across India.
The MoU was signed by Mr. Jae Wan Ryu, Function Head – Corporate Planning, HMIL, and Mr. Kartikey Hariyani, Founder & CEO – CHARGE ZONE, at HMIL headquarters in Gurugram, Haryana.
This strategic partnership aims to expand the public EV charging infrastructure in India, providing convenience for all EV users during intercity and intracity travel, given the strategic locations of HMIL dealerships across cities and highways. Currently, HMIL has 19 dealerships equipped with 60 kW DC public EV charging stations. In collaboration with CHARGE ZONE, HMIL plans to extend this network to an additional 100 charging stations at its dealerships, offering a reliable and hassle-free charging experience, along with 24×7 customer support.
Mr. Jae Wan Ryu, Function Head – Corporate Planning, HMIL, said, “As India aims for greater adoption of electric mobility, it is equally important to bolster the EV charging infrastructure to counter range-anxiety and build customer preference towards adoption of electric mobility. By engaging in a strategic partnership with CHARGE ZONE, we are moving towards strengthening HMIL’s EV charging network, with 100 Hyundai dealerships now to be equipped with DC 60 kW fast chargers. All EV users (Hyundai & Non-Hyundai) will benefit from the augmented network of DC fast charging stations, accessible through the ‘myHyundai’ app or through the ‘CHARGE ZONE’ app. Such strategic alliances are crucial for accelerating the adoption of electric mobility solutions by customers and achieving India’s carbon neutrality goals.”
Mr. Kartikey Hariyani, Founder & CEO – CHARGE ZONE, highlighted the strategic partnership, emphasizing, “Over the past five years, CHARGE ZONE has developed a renewable energy-powered EV charging network for electric cars and electric buses in India. Our collaboration with Hyundai Motor India Limited aims to enhance infrastructure for
4-Wheeler Electric Vehicles (BEVs), ensuring easy access and dynamic availability, providing a reliable and seamless charging experience.”
