The ZS EV gets many charging options
Hyundai Kona provides a home charging unit that takes around 6 hours for a full charge. Besides, the owner can also go to the closest dealership for a quick charge and the company has also planned on installing such charging units on selected 1000 fuel stations that can charge 80% of the battery in close to an hour. The car also comes equipped with a 2.8 KW In-cable control box (ICCB) which can be plugged right into a normal wall socket but the only drawback is it will take a long 19-hour gap for the battery to get fully charged.
The ZS EV comes with an AC fast charger that is provided and installed by MG at the buyer’s home or office and refills 80% of the battery within 6-8 hrs. It also comes with a 3-pin portable charger that can be easily inserted into a 15A socket at home or office but again, completes 80% of the refilling in 16-18 hrs. MG will be providing DC Super-fast chargers 24X7 and the company claims that these charging units will have the capability to complete an 80% charge in around 50 mins. The company also claims to provide AC fast chargers at the dealership along key routes in satellite cities and lastly, the 24X7 roadside assistance in case of emergency.
