      Mahindra Charge_IN 180 kW ultra-fast charging network

      by

      Mahindra Charge_InCharge_IN Mapping Its 1000-Point Target Across Corridors
      Mahindra Charge_IN is positioned as a nationwide fast-charging framework built around a 180 kW architecture. This supports consistent EV usage across major routes. A target of 1000 charging points by the end of 2027 will be attaiined through staged rollout of 250 stations. Locations veer towards predictable access patterns for highway commuters and high traffic points. Each site will operate on a uniform 180 kW specification to maintain compatibility across participating vehicle categories.
      Operational planning includes dual-gun chargers that enable simultaneous charging for four EVs at a location through two units with two connectors each. This is first being implemented in Hoskote on NH 7, and Murthal on NH44. These placements follow a pattern of selecting highway nodes with sustained vehicle movement.
      Charge_IN 180 kW
      One App, Many Stops: How Charge_IN Keeps Sessions Simple
      Such hardware allows 20 to 80 percent charging in about 20 minutes, which supports time-sensitive highway travel routines. This setup forms part of a structured placement strategy that emphasises high-traffic corridors and consistent spacing along national highways. Access options include Charge_IN by Mahindra app, which lists station availability, charging status, and payment flows for EV owners across all brands.
      This interoperability ensures all users can rely on the network for long-distance travel. Users can locate compatible chargers, initiate sessions, and manage billing through a single interface. This creates a consolidated interaction point for EV owners navigating multiple charging platforms and locations. Expanded app access supports the network’s aim to simplify public charging interactions.
      Mahindra fast Charger
      Convenience of Shared Systems
      Station design includes co-location with existing wayside amenities such as restaurants and cafés. This placement logic supports charging downtime by connecting EV users to services already present on major corridors. Amenity proximity helps avoid unnecessary detours and reduces overall travel disruption.
      Compatibility extends to Mahindra’s eSUV portfolio, including XEV 9e, BE 6, and the upcoming XEV 9S. Charging hardware uniformity simplifies operational planning by reducing the need for varied charger specifications across regions. For EV owners, current access charging points through apps helps bridge early-stage infrastructure limitations. EV owners gain visibility into available resources across operators, which reduces fragmentation in the charging ecosystem. Expandedinteroperability helps ease the journey.
      Range and Network Access Shape Travel Confidence
      Nalinikanth Gollagunta, Chief Executive Officer – Automotive Division, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. and Executive Director, Mahindra Electric Automobile Ltd., said, “Electric mobility is about driving a larger shift towards cleaner, sustainable transportation. XEV 9e and BE 6, with their impressive 500 km real-world range, ensure drivers feel confident on long journeys.
      Meanwhile, with our ultrafast charging network by Charge_IN we will be creating an open and accessible network for all EV users. Our aim is to make long-distance travel with an electric vehicle effortless and reliable like conventional driving, thereby building customer confidence and accelerating India’s transition to electric mobility.” More

      Electric Origin, Built on INGLO – The Game-Changing Mahindra XEV 9S

      by

      Mahindra XEV 9SAfter redefining the segment with BE 6 and XEV 9e, Mahindra is now gearing up for its biggest electric SUV yet — the all-new XEV 9S. Aimed at families and enthusiasts alike, it’s India’s first 7-seater born-electric SUV, designed to combine practicality with electrifying performance. Ahead of a formal launch on 26th and 27th November at the Scream Electric event in Bengaluru, let’s dive deep into what makes XEV 9S the next big launch from Mahindra.
      Mahindra XEV 9S
      India’s First True 7-Seater Electric SUV
      There are 5-seater electric SUVs and a 7-seater electric crossover MPV on sale in India. Mahindra is staying ahead of the curve with XEV 9S as it is the first mainstream automaker in India to offer a 7-seater electric SUV. A combination which rivals have not cracked yet, Mahindra has.
      Mahindra XEV 9S
      A True Blue SUV, Built the Mahindra Way – Rugged, Refined, and Ready
      After experiencing BE 6 and XEV 9e, we are pretty sure that Mahindra XEV 9S will be nothing less than a true blue SUV. Mahindra’s rugged SUV DNA has trickled down from its decades of impeccable experience. It will encompass the essence of being an SUV with sophisticated ride quality and exceptional rough-road ability.
      Mahindra XEV 9S
      Luxury, Tech and Performance – All in One
      Mahindra XEV 9S will usher in a new era of electric mobility as it is a paradigm shift in features and equipment offered by any mainstream OEM in India. It will build on the strengths of XEV 9e, which has already established itself as a dominant electric SUV. Triple 12.3-inch screen dashboard, industry-leading 1,400W 16-speaker Harman Kardon system, sophisticated ambient lighting, exquisite materials and luxurious upholstery all make for a stellar package.
      Features like powered front seats with driver seat memory function, ventilated front seats, multi-zone climate control, dedicated AC vents for 2nd and 3rd row seating, Level-2 ADAS, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Snapdragon’s extreme computing power, comprehensive OTA updates and connected tech will be a part of Mahindra XEV 9S.
      Mahindra INGLO Architecture
      Electric Origin SUV based on INGLO platform – Comfort for all!
      Unlike rival eSUVs that are mostly derived EVs with technological prowess of the past, Mahindra XEV 9S is based on born electric INGLO platform which is tech-forward and ready for the future. This platform promises sophisticated ride quality with its 5-link independent rear suspension with frequency dependent damping.
      Also, INGLO based vehicles have been offered with RWD layout as standard, which will be true with XEV 9S as well. INGLO platform is born electric and it offers a flat floor without any transmission tunnel. The skateboard platform of INGLO architecture ensures better space management ensuring your family travels in utmost comfort.
      Adding to overall comfort is the fact that Mahindra XEV 9S will come with sliding 2nd row seats. This allows flexibility for 2nd row occupants to slide back for maximum comfort or carve out more knee room for 3rd row occupants. Adding versatility is folding 3rd row seats, which will unlock a cavernous boot space.
      Mahindra XEV 9e Frunk
      Full Sized Usable Frunk
      Unlike rival brands that offer a frunk as an after-though, the frunk on Mahindra XEV 9S is inviting. Bonnet gets assisted pneumatic struts for a premium experience and it opens up to a full-sized frunk and a curated experience. These elements make XEV 9S’s frunk genuinely useful, further adding versatility to the overall package.
      Mahindra XEV 9S
      Dual-Pane Openable Panoramic Sunroof
      Sunroof has emerged as an aspirational feature for Indian SUV buyers. In BE 6 and XEV 9e, Mahindra offered a fixed glass roof. With Mahindra XEV 9S, the company will offer a dual-pane panoramic sunroof that can open to let fresh air inside the cabin.
      Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e
      30,000 Mahindra Electric Origin SUVs sold
      With the Mahindra XEV 9S, the brand is once again pushing boundaries — combining space, technology, and performance in a way that’s unmistakably Mahindra. Built on the powerful INGLO platform and backed by the trust of over 30,000 Mahindra eSUVs already on Indian roads, the XEV 9S is not just an SUV — it’s the next milestone in India’s electric journey.

      by

      Mahindra XEV 9S Teased AgainWhile BE 6 and XEV 9e were absolute feats on their own, there is a new Mahindra Origin SUV making a lot of noise. This is an extension of Mahindra’s XEV 9 family and is named XEV 9S. It will be the brand’s first 7-seater Electric Origin SUV and first one in the Born Electric lineup to pack dual motor AWD layout. Let’s take a closer look at the new teaser.
      Mahindra XEV 9S Teased Again
      XUV700 was a major milestone for the brand in its tech-forward journey. The company has not looked back since. Going forward, we saw Mahindra building on its equipment and pushing the tech envelope further and further. Soon to launch XEV 9S will bear the overall silhouette of XUV700, but is positioned on the born electric INGLO platform.
      Mahindra XEV 9S Teased

      Mahindra XEV 9S Teased
      XEV 9S will be the third offering in Mahindra’s Electric Origin SUV lineup and the first one to offer a 3-row seating layout with a total seating capacity of 7. There might be a 6-seater version on offer, with captain chairs in 2nd row. It will share most of its silhouette and rear design with XUV700 ICE SUV and the fascia with XEV 9e.
      Mahindra XEV 9S Teased
      What to expect?
      We will see a massive LED DRL signature engulfing a closed-off grille. Large vertically arranged LED projector headlights strike an imposing look. There will be no sloping roofline on XEV 9S like there was on XEV 9e Coupe SUV, so as to carve out headroom for third-row occupants. By folding 3rd row seats, there will be a cavernous boot and then a usable frunk.
      Mahindra XEV 9S Teased
      On the inside of XEV 9S, it is the usual Mahindra Origin SUV affair. Like XUV 9e, XEV 9S also gets a triple screen dashboard with three 12.3-inch displays. These screens get a tonne of computing power, a plethora of features and a host of connected tech. The illuminated logo on new steering, dual-zone climate control, powered and ventilated front seats, memory function for driver’s seat, AC vents for all occupants, fancy 16-speaker Harman Kardon audio system and digital key are some of the anticipated features.
      Mahindra XEV 9S Teased
      Notably, Mahindra XEV 9S will become the first Electric Origin SUV from the brand to feature a panoramic sunroof. BE 6 and XEV 9e come with a glass roof. Also, Mahindra XEV 9S is likely to become the first Mahindra Electric Origin SUVs to feature a dual-motor AWD layout with a lot of power and a lot of torque. More details will be revealed in subsequent teasers.

      Mahindra XEV 9S Electric 7S SUVThe grand stage of Mahindra Auto’s upcoming ‘Scream Electric’ event in Bengaluru will bear witness to the launch of India’s first 7-seater electric mainstream SUV.

      Mahindra XEV 9S Electric 7S SUV Teased
      It has been close to a year since the historic launch of Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e in the Indian market. These SUVs have garnered interest from the country’s SUV buyers unlike any other. These SUVs were launched on 26th November, 2024 in Chennai and exactly a year later, Mahindra is expanding its Electric Origin SUV lineup to incorporate XEV 9S.
      Mahindra XEV 9S Electric 7S SUV
      Unlike XEV 9e which is a coupe design, XEV 9S will be a more conventional electric SUV without a sloping roof. This is to accommodate third-row seating to take the total seating capacity to 7. There could be a 6S variant with XEV 9S with captain chairs in second row to expand its appeal further.
      Mahindra XEV 9S Dashboard
      Mahindra is calling XEV 9S ‘first authentic 7-seater electric SUV’. It will be built on the same INGLO platform as BE 6 and XEV 9e.

With Mahindra XEV 9S, the company is promising Power, Presence and Pure Electric Performance.
      Mahindra XEV 9S
      What to expect?
      This vehicle has been spied testing multiple times and it is expected to bear an overall similar silhouette as XUV700 and a similar striking fascia as XEV 9e.

      Digital Key feature, panoramic sunroof, sophisticated ambient lighting, dual-zone climate control, dedicated 2nd and 3rd row AC vents, a premium 1,600W 16-speaker Harman Kardon audio system are among the expected features. Same 59 kWh and 79 kWh battery packs are likely to be carried over, but XEV 9S is expected to pack a dual-motor AWD system for more performance and some off-road capability. More details will be revealed on 27th November. More
