MUMBAI: Mahindra plans to set up 250 electric vehicle charging stations, each with 180 kW, with over 1,000 charging points by the end of 2027. This is part of the company’s vision to UNLIMIT electric mobility through its Charge_IN ultrafast charging network, aligning with the government’s priority of strengthening public EV charging infrastructure to accelerate EV adoption in India.

The company has already inaugurated the first two Charge_IN stations in Hoskote on NH 75, Bengaluru – Chennai highway, and Murthal on NH44, about 50 km from Delhi. This is a major step by Mahindra towards building India’s high-speed EV charging backbone. Both the charging stations comprise two ultra-fast chargers capable of charging 4 EVs at once.

Nalinikanth Gollagunta, Chief Executive Officer – Automotive Division, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., and Executive Director, Mahindra Electric Automobile Ltd., said, “Electric mobility is about driving a larger shift towards cleaner, sustainable transportation. XEV 9e and BE 6, with their impressive 500 km real-world range, ensure drivers feel confident on long journeys. Meanwhile, with our ultrafast charging network by Charge_IN, we will be creating an open and accessible network for all EV users. We aim to make long-distance travel with an electric vehicle effortless and reliable like conventional driving, thereby building customer confidence and accelerating India’s transition to electric mobility.”

Mahindra’s pioneering Charge_IN network will exclusively feature 180 kW dual gun chargers designed to deliver faster, more convenient, and reliable charging for electric four-wheelers. Capable of charging the Mahindra eSUV portfolio – XEV 9e, BE 6, and upcoming XEV 9S from 20 to 80 percent in 20 minutes, the Charge_IN network will make long-distance electric travel practical, efficient, and stress-free.

The Charge_IN stations will be strategically positioned along major highway corridors. Each station will be co-located with wayside amenities such as restaurants, cafes, making them natural halting points for travellers. You can sip your coffee while your electric car fast-charges and gets you going.

Mahindra eSUV owners can access Charge_IN from Mahindra’s Me4U app to discover charging stations, charge, and pay. These fast-charging stations will also be accessible to other brands’ electric vehicle users through the “Charge_IN by Mahindra” app, and through other leading aggregator platforms. Through the Me4U app, customers can currently access ~34,000 public charging points across various Charge Point Operators (including Charge_IN).
