Adani TotalEnergies and MG Motor India Join Forces to Boost EV Charging Infrastructure

Adani TotalEnergies, a subsidiary of Adani Total Gas, and MG Motor India have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to bolster India's electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. This strategic collaboration aims to address a critical challenge in the country's EV ecosystem by developing comprehensive charging solutions and value-added services for MG's EV customers.

Building a Robust and Efficient Charging Network

A key focus of the partnership is establishing a robust and efficient charging network across India. Adani TotalEnergies will install 60 kW DC fast chargers (CC2) at upcoming MG dealerships. These high-powered chargers can significantly reduce charging times compared to traditional AC chargers, enhancing accessibility and convenience for EV owners.

Comprehensive EV Charging Solutions

The collaboration extends beyond just hardware. The companies plan to provide a holistic EV charging experience. This includes:

• Supply, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of charging infrastructure by Adani TotalEnergies.

• A dedicated mobile application for users to locate charging stations, authenticate themselves, initiate charging sessions, and settle bills seamlessly.

• Integration of public charging stations across platforms through Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to improve network visibility and accessibility for MG EV owners.

Customer-Centric Approach with RFID Solutions

The partnership prioritizes customer convenience. MG users will benefit from:

• RFID solutions at strategically located Adani TotalEnergies public charging stations, including airports, for a smoother charging experience.

• Bulk purchase arrangements for RFID cards by MG, potentially offering preferential discounts for MG EV owners on charging costs.
