JSW MG Motor India recently launched a series of initiatives geared towards enhancing the ecosystem of electric vehicles (EVs) in India. During the DriEV.Bharat event held at Bharat Mandapam in Delhi, the automotive company introduced new technologies aimed at speeding up the adoption of EVs and improving the overall infrastructure. This included the unveiling of a new charging platform and a project focused on repurposing EV batteries.
An exciting announcement made at the event was the partnership between JSW MG Motor India and Reliance Jio to introduce an in-car entertainment solution that will be available in all MG vehicles. This collaboration aims to provide a seamless and immersive experience for MG owners, enhancing their overall driving experience.
Introduction of eHUB by MG
One of the key highlights of the event was the launch of eHUB by MG, a platform designed to simplify the EV charging infrastructure. With eHUB, JSW MG Motor India claims to streamline the process of locating, reserving, and paying for charging stations, making it easier for EV owners to plan their trips hassle-free. The platform is developed by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and is set to revolutionize the way EVs are charged in India.
In addition to the new charging platform, JSW MG Motor India also introduced Project REVIVE at the event. This initiative focuses on repurposing old EV batteries for energy use in schools and community centers. By collaborating with The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) and lithium-ion battery manufacturer Lohum, the company aims to reuse healthy battery components, contributing to a more sustainable approach towards energy consumption.
EVPEDIA Initiative: Building EV Advocacy
With the global interest in artificial intelligence (AI) on the rise, JSW MG Motor India debuted its AI chatbot, eVir, as part of the EVPEDIA experience. This initiative aims to provide relevant information on EVs, including tools and calculators for cost of ownership, research papers, government policies, and more. Through interactive displays, educational videos, and live demonstrations, the company aims to educate and empower individuals to make informed decisions about electric vehicles.
The partnership with Reliance Jio also brought about the introduction of the MG-Jio Innovative Connectivity Platform (MG-Jio ICP), designed to cater to the entertainment, gaming, and learning needs of MG drivers. This technology stack includes MG Store, an app store for vehicles, voice commands in six Indian languages, and Home-to-Car functionality for monitoring and controlling vehicle systems remotely. The MG-Jio ICP will be a standard feature across all upcoming MG vehicles in India, promising a seamless and connected driving experience.
JSW MG Motor India’s initiatives are set to revolutionize the electric vehicle ecosystem in India, paving the way for a more sustainable and efficient mode of transportation. With a focus on innovation, partnership, and sustainability, the company is driving positive change in the automotive industry and setting new standards for the future of mobility in India.
