Magenta to set up EV Charging Stations at Xavier’s campuses

Magenta ties up with  Xavier Institutes to install EV charging stations at their multiple educational campuses. This initiative has been started off by the first EV charger installation  at Mumbai’s Xavier’s Institute of Engineering Campus at Mahim. With this, Magenta will be installing EV chargers across the Xavier’s network of educational institute in India which pervades 83 university colleges, 7 major institutes of business management, 22 technical institutes, 11 research institutes, over 92 high schools and  15 specialized institutions.

The charging station is a combination of AC and DC Chargers (30kW DC Fast Charger + 7.4kW AC), which shall support 2-wheelers, 3-wheelers and 4-wheelers. The EV charging stations will be operational 24X7 and will be controlled via the ChargeGrid App, which features online remote monitoring and an automated payment mechanism.

Speaking on the occasion Bishop Barthel Barretto, Auxiliary Bishop, Archdiocese of Bombay, stated, “The earth is our common home and we all need to jointly protect and renew it. Every such attempt needs to start from a child’s formative years. I am glad that Xavier Institutes has taken that first step to inculcating clean mobility for its students and also for society at large. We will soon see such EV charging stations across the Xavier’s network of institutes.”

Maxson Lewis, CEO & Founder of Magenta, said, “Colleges and institutions are leading the way when it comes to promoting low and zero-emission vehicles. We are pleased to see the support of the esteemed Xavier’s Institute of Engineering to install an EV charging station. This reflects the Institute’s dedication to sustainability and exhibits its foresight. We hope that this encourages healthy competition among campuses to be the greenest in the world.”
