JSW MG Motor Tackles EV Charging Results with New App
India has witnessed a surge in electric vehicle (EV) adoption, particularly within the two-wheeler and three-wheeler categories. Nevertheless, the transition to electric four-wheelers has been hindered by several consumer concerns. Range anxiety, a limited charging infrastructure, affordability challenges, and service network uncertainties have collectively dampened enthusiasm for electric cars among Indian consumers. MG Motors is becoming one of the most relevant players when considering expanding the electric vehicle lineup in India.

MG Motor, in collaboration with LOHUM, TERI, and BatX, has launched Project Revive. It is a pioneering initiative to extend the battery’s lifespan by repurposing them for energy storage solutions.
These retired batteries will find new homes in schools and community centers. Serving as valuable assets for sustainable energy. However, by embracing this innovative approach, MG Motor reinforces its dedication to environmental stewardship and circular economy principles.
EVpedia: Bridging the Knowledge Gap
A major barrier to breaking through to greater EV adoption by the everyday consumer is holistic information. In a move to banish the myths and fears of interested buyers, the company has just recently introduced EVpedia.

EVpedia is the best shot at a myriad of benefits that come with obtaining an electric vehicle over a traditionally operated gasoline car: government incentives, financial savings, and environmental benefits.
