Hyundai Motor India (HMIL) aims to bolster the electric vehicle charging infrastructure by setting a goal to establish approximately 600 public EV fast-charging stations nationwide within the next seven years.

The company referred to its internal studies, which revealed consumer concerns about long-distance travel in electric vehicles due to insufficient charging facilities along highways.

Jae Wan Ryu, Function Head – Corporate Planning, Hyundai Motor India, said, “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.”

To address these drawbacks, they are now planning to increase fast EV charges on select highways as well as in major cities across the nation. 

Jae Wan added, “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.”

The company declared that by the end of December, the company’s fast public network will be available at over 50 locations across the nation. 

The company is actively investing in EV infrastructure to support the anticipated growth of electric vehicles. It has signed an MoU with Tamil Nadu to establish 100 EV charging stations across the state by 2027, with ten stations set to be operational by December. These charging stations will be accessible 24/7 through the ‘myHyundai’ app.

Hyundai now provides access to over 10,000 charging points for all EV four-wheelers across India in collaboration with partners like ChargeZone, Statiq, Shell India, and others. Additionally, it recently equipped 100 dealerships with 60 kW DC fast chargers.

This push into EV charging infrastructure underscores Hyundai’s confidence in the strong potential growth of India’s EV market. The company is leveraging parent Hyundai Motor Corporation’s global EV and battery technology to advance its initiatives in India.
