Indian brands have been opting for different ways to bring the era of EVs to India. Despite much of the brand's and government initiatives, people are facing a tough time adopting EVs as their new lifestyle. Following the trend, JSW MG Motors brings forth a new initiative to create awareness among their customers about EVs and their benefits.
e-hub App: Simplifying Charging for EV Owners
One of the key initiatives introduced by MG Motor is the eHUB app. This app, available on both Android and iOS platforms, helps EV owners locate charging stations across India. MG has partnered with multiple companies, including Adani Total Energies Limited (ATEL), BPCL, Chargezone, Glida, HPCL, Jio-BP, Shell, Statiq, and Zeon, to provide a comprehensive charging network.
The eHUB app allows users to not only find nearby charging stations but also plan their trips based on the availability of chargers along their routes. The app provides real-time information on whether a slot is available at a selected location and if the charger is functional. Additionally, users can reserve a slot and make payments directly through the app, making the charging process seamless and hassle-free.
Project REVIVE: Giving New Life to EV Batteries
Another significant initiative by MG Motor is Project REVIVE, which focuses on recycling and repurposing EV batteries. EV battery packs are one of the most expensive and essential components of electric cars. These batteries can be recycled and used for various applications, such as energy storage systems.
MG has collaborated with LOHUM and the Energy and Resources Institute of India for Project REVIVE. Under this project, used batteries are repurposed to serve as energy storage systems for applications like solar energy. This initiative not only helps meet the electricity needs of urban and rural areas but also reduces the waste caused by lithium batteries, which can be hazardous to the environment.
Overall, MG Motor's new initiatives, the eHUB app and Project REVIVE, are significant steps towards promoting the adoption of electric vehicles in India. The eHUB app simplifies the charging process for EV owners, while Project REVIVE ensures that used EV batteries are recycled and repurposed in an environmentally friendly manner. These initiatives reflect MG Motor's commitment to making EV ownership more convenient and sustainable, paving the way for a greener future in India.
