Hyundai: 600 EV Chargers Are Enough For Charging Infrastructure?

• The chargers will provide DC power at the rate of up to 150 kW, thus reducing the time charged by a user to refill his electric vehicle.
• Universal Accessibility: The network would be available to all brands of four-wheeler electric vehicles produced in India.
• User-Friendly Amenities: Many charging locations will host cafes and restaurants, so that stopping to charge becomes a likable affair.

Strategic Partnerships: Scaling the Ecosystem

Hyundai is working with leading charging infrastructure providers to make more than 10,000 charging points accessible through its myHyundai app; ChargeZone, Statiq, and Shell India are the ones it partnered with. Hyundai has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Tamil Nadu Government to put in 100 EV Charging Stations across the state by the year 2027. This will make it easier for users to find and use nearby stations.

According to Jae Wan Ryu, Function Head of Corporate Planning at HMIL, “The biggest hurdle for EV adoption is consumer concern over charging access, especially for long-distance travel. Hyundai’s initiative directly addresses these concerns, ensuring drivers have access to a reliable, fast, and widespread charging network.”
