Highlights

    Kia India has announced installing India's fastest charger for passenger vehicles at its dealership in Gurugram. With a capacity of 150 kWh, this DC fast charger is installed at Dhingra Kia and the initiative is expected to provide access to charging solutions to all EV owners. Equipped with 150kWh power, this fast charger can provide 10 per cent -80 per cent of charge in under 42 minutes (may vary depending on the model). Customers can visit the Gurgaon dealership to access the charging by paying as per the usage.

    Speaking on the occasion, Myung-sik Sohn, Chief Sales Officer, Kia India said, "We started with the ambition of making EV ownership aspirational and launched our global best EV - the Kia EV6 in India, earlier this year. To take things further, we're now incredibly excited to inaugurate the first DC fast charger for passenger vehicles with 150 kWh charging capacity, playing our role in India's EV growth story. At Kia India, it is our constant endeavour to provide a superior customer experience and we believe that such fast-charging solutions will take away issues of range anxiety & charging time that EV owners face. We have begun the journey of providing an unparalleled EV experience across all our EV dealerships in the country and here, we will be able to cater to the charging requirements of EVs from other OEMs as well. We shall be installing a total of 15 such chargers across 12 cities by August, 2022, and are hopeful that such small steps will go a long way in fostering EV adoption in the country. "

    The step has been taken just a month after Kia India launched its first fully electric car, Kia EV6 in the Indian market. The Kia EV6 is based on the Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) platform and offers a range of 528 km on a full charge. Kia India is working towards offering sustainable mobility solutions and as part of its EV roadmap, Kia will be launching its India-centric EV by 2025.
