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. 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. Both the charging stations comprise two ultra-fast chargers capable of charging 4 EVs at once.

This plan 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.

Mahindra’s pioneering Charge_IN network will exclusively feature 180 kW dual gun chargers designed to deliver faster, 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.

Mahindra EV owners can discover charging stations, charge and pay through the  Me4U app. Customers can currently access nearly 34,000 public charging points across various charge point operators (including Charge_IN).

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. Our aim is 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 is set to launch its 7-seater EV—the Mahindra XEV 9S tomorrow in Bengaluru. The 7-seater electric SUV built on Mahindra’s advanced INGLO platform. The INGLO skateboard architecture is a flat-floor design that liberates cabin space, with a low centre of gravity, that would enhance both stability and ride comfort.
