JSW MG Motor India recently launched a series of initiatives aimed at improving the ecosystem for electric vehicles (EVs) in India. These initiatives were showcased during the DriEV.Bharat event held at Bharat Mandapam in Delhi. The company introduced new technologies to accelerate the adoption of EVs and enhance the overall infrastructure.
One of the key highlights of the event was the unveiling of eHUB by MG, a platform designed to simplify the EV charging infrastructure. The company claims that eHUB is the largest charging platform developed by an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) in India. With eHUB, JSW MG Motor India aims to make trip planning for EVs hassle-free by providing a seamless process of locating, reserving, and paying for charging stations.
During the event, JSW MG Motor India also announced a strategic partnership with Reliance Jio to introduce an in-car entertainment solution. The MG-Jio Innovative Connectivity Platform (MG-Jio ICP) is set to revolutionize the driver’s entertainment, gaming, and learning experiences. The collaboration between the two companies will bring innovative features like MG Store, voice commands in multiple Indian languages, and Home-to-Car functionality.
Another significant initiative introduced by JSW MG Motor India at the event was Project REVIVE. This project focuses on repurposing old EV batteries for energy use in schools and community centers. By collaborating with The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) and lithium-ion battery manufacturer Lohum, the company aims to reuse healthy battery components and contribute to sustainable energy practices.
In the era of artificial intelligence (AI), JSW MG Motor India launched its AI chatbot, eVir, as part of the EVPEDIA initiative. This platform provides valuable information on EVs, including tools and calculators for estimating the cost of ownership, research materials, and government policies related to EVs. The aim is to empower EV advocacy and educate customers through interactive displays, educational videos, and live demonstrations.
Overall, the initiatives launched by JSW MG Motor India at the DriEV.Bharat event mark a significant step towards enhancing the EV ecosystem in India. The introduction of eHUB, Project REVIVE, and EVPEDIA demonstrates the company’s commitment to innovation and sustainability in the automotive industry. Through strategic partnerships and collaborations, JSW MG Motor India aims to drive the adoption of EVs and transform the way we perceive electric mobility in the country.
