MG launched the eHub to much fanfare back in September 2024, on World EV Day. Since then, it has garnered a massive following, having clocked large numbers of downloads on both the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. People have planned a total of 200 million, i.e., 20 lakh kilometres worth of driving, though it is not possible from the app to glean how many of those kilometres were executed. A staggering amount of energy, 1.3 million kWh in fact, was delivered through the app.
Usage patterns tell a more detailed story. Charging spiked at 5:30 pm, while the busiest day of charging was Saturday, and the busiest month was January. This all makes perfect sense as owners, in all likelihood, charged up their cars before going home or while on trips. Sector 20, Chandigarh, and Gaur City Mall, Greater Noida, are two of the business places, followed by Shivam Complex in Bhubaneshwar, FRIZBee SBRm in Ahmedabad, and finally Lepakshi Multicuisine in Pullur.
The app data also shows which routes are most used by the users of the app, with the Delhi-Jaipur corridor being the topmost in terms of traffic. It’s followed by Mumbai-Goa, Hyderabad-Vijayawada, Hyderabad-Tirupati, Bangalore-Mysuru, and finally Delhi-Agra. More insights will soon be revealed about Indian EV usage habits, but the impact of the MG eHub on the EV landscape has been undeniable so far.
