Maruti Suzuki will work with its partners to enable 1,00,000+ Public Charging Points by 2030. To demonstrate the unparalleled EV charging network, four e Vitaras were flagged off from Gurugram in all four directions - Srinagar up North, Kanyakumari in the South, Bhuj at the western edge of India and Dibrugarh in the eastern part of the country, as a part of the ‘e drive’.
Rigorously tested from ‘Sand to Snow’ over an extreme temperature spectrum of 60°C to -30°C, e Vitara has performed consistently, delivering a driving range of 543km*.
Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director & CEO, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, said, “At Maruti Suzuki, we strive to extend a delightful ownership experience to our customers to build lasting trust. Today, we are taking a historic step, as we enter the domain of electric mobility with full readiness to address the EV charging concerns and boost customer confidence. We have established a robust network of over 2,000 Maruti Suzuki exclusive charging points across our sales and service network, spanning more than 1,100 cities. Further, we have collaborated with 13 Charge Point Operators to offer access to a vast charging infrastructure across the country. Aligned with Suzuki’s global vision, we plan to introduce multiple EVs and to support this, our aim is to enable a network of over 1 lakh charging points across India by 2030, along with our Dealer and CPO partners.”
