Kia India on Tuesday inaugurated a 150 kWh DC fast charger at one of its dealerships in Gurugram, Haryana. The OEM claimed that the EV charger is India’s fastest for passenger vehicles.
Equipped with 150kWh power, this fast charger can provide 10% to 80% of charging in less than 42 minutes (may vary depending on the model). The same will be available to consumers on a pay-per-charge basis.
The OEM plans to set up 15 such chargers across 12 cities by August 2022, noted Myung-sik Sohn, Chief Sales Officer, Kia India. Electric Vehicles from other OEMs will also be able to access these chargers.
Sohn 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 a 150 kWh charging capacity, playing our role in India’s EV growth story.
Kia had recently launched its first fully electric car, Kia EV6, in India.
