Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) is set to expand its electric vehicle (EV) fast-charging infrastructure across India with plans to install nearly 600 public charging stations over the next seven years. By December 2024, HMIL will establish a network of 50 fast-charging stations, underscoring its commitment to promoting sustainable mobility and supporting India’s transition to clean energy.
To date, HMIL’s charging network has facilitated over 50,000 charging sessions, delivering more than 7.3 lakh units of energy to both Hyundai and non-Hyundai EV customers. In addition, the company has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Tamil Nadu government to set up 100 charging stations by 2027. Ten of these will be operational by the end of 2024, with three already up and running at Spencer Plaza, BSR Mall in Chennai, and Hotel Seasons in Tiruvannamalai.
All EV customers in Tamil Nadu can access these stations 24/7 via the myHyundai app, accelerating the adoption of green mobility.
Wan Ryu, Function Head – Corporate Planning, HMIL commented, “The EV market is expected to grow robustly by 2030. Studies conducted by HMIL have highlighted that customers are apprehensive about driving their EVs for long-distance commutes on highways due to a lack of charging infrastructure. Keeping this in mind, HMIL has taken the initiative of installing fast EV chargers on key highways, in addition to major cities. With access to HMC’s global EV and battery technology, HMIL is well-positioned to build a comprehensive EV ecosystem in India. We are actively investing in infrastructure to support the expected growth in demand for electric vehicles.”
