First two charge stations unveiled

The company has already unveiled the first two Charge_IN stations in Hoskote on NH 75, Bengaluru – Chennai highway and Murthal on NH44, about 50 km from Delhi, it added.

“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 ultra-fast charging network by Charge_IN, we will be creating an open and accessible network for all EV users,” Mahindra & Mahindra CEO Automotive Division Nalinikanth Gollagunta stated.

The company also added that the Charge_IN stations will be strategically positioned along major highway corridors, to align with the Indian government's priority of developing public EV charging infrastructure.

Each station will be co-located with wayside amenities such as restaurants, cafes, making them natural halting points for travellers, it was specified by Manhindra & Mahindra.
