Mahindra’s Charge_iN network has taken a significant step forward in making long-distance electric travel seamless and stress-free. The company has rolled out 180 kW ultra-fast charging stations along two critical highway corridors: the Mumbai–Ahmedabad (NH 8) and Bengaluru–Goa (NH 67).These new high-power chargers are now operational, offering EV drivers a quick and reliable boost during inter-city journeys and popular tourist routes.
Each Charge_iN station features 180 kW dual-gun DC fast chargers capable of delivering rapid charging speeds. For compatible vehicles like Mahindra’s electric SUVs, this means going from 20% to 80% state of charge in approximately 20 minutes — fast enough for a quick coffee break or meal stop.The stations are strategically placed at convenient locations along the corridors, often co-located with fuel stations, restaurants, and rest areas, turning charging time into productive or relaxing downtime.
This expansion is part of Mahindra’s aggressive plan to build India’s high-speed EV charging backbone. The company has already inaugurated multiple 180 kW stations across the country and currently operates 10 stations with 40 charge points live. Mahindra aims to set up 250 stations with over 1,000 charging points by the end of 2027, with a strong focus on major national highways.
Finding and using these chargers is simple and convenient:
- Available on the Me4U app (Mahindra’s official app for its electric SUVs)
- Also accessible through the dedicated Charge_iN by Mahindra app
Both apps allow users to:
- Locate nearby stations in real time
- Check charger availability
- Reserve slots
- Navigate directly to the station
- Complete seamless payments
The network is open to all EV brands, not just Mahindra owners, making it a truly public ultra-fast charging infrastructure.
Long-distance travel has been one of the biggest hurdles for EV buyers in India. With limited fast-charging options on highways, range anxiety often discouraged families and professionals from choosing electric vehicles for trips.
By bringing 180 kW ultra-fast charging to busy corridors like Mumbai–Ahmedabad (a key business and industrial route) and Bengaluru–Goa (a favourite weekend and holiday getaway), Charge_iN is directly addressing this pain point. Drivers can now plan confident road trips with minimal waiting time and maximum convenience.
The initiative also aligns with Mahindra’s recent partnership with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL), which will help deploy these 180 kW chargers at thousands of existing fuel stations across the country, accelerating rollout significantly.
Charge_iN stations are designed for reliability and user comfort, with multiple CCS2 connectors per station (typically supporting up to 4 vehicles simultaneously). The focus remains on consistent high-speed performance, even during peak travel seasons.As more 180 kW stations come online on additional corridors, India’s EV ecosystem is steadily moving closer to matching the convenience of traditional refuelling.
For EV owners planning trips between Mumbai and Ahmedabad or Bengaluru and Goa, Charge_iN’s new stations offer a game-changing solution — faster charging, easier planning, and greater freedom on the road.
