Maruti Suzuki India Limited has announced the historic signing of collaboration agreements with 13 charge point operators (CPOs) and aggregators. Mr. Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director and CEO, and Mr. Parthi Banerjee, Senior Executive Officer, Marketing and Sales, from Maruti Suzuki India Limited, along with other senior dignitaries from the CPOs, were present at the event.
Maruti Suzuki’s all-new ‘e for me’ EV charging mobile app enables end-to-end usage of EV charging points from partner-operated charging networks as well as Maruti Suzuki’s own EV charging network on a single platform. It offers a uniform customer experience for EV charging and payments through UPI or the exclusive ‘Maruti Suzuki Money’, powered by Razorpay. From the moment a customer books their vehicle, the ‘e for me’ application serves as a single platform for setting up the home charger, ensuring optimal usage, locating charging points, and using them, along with several other features.

‘e for me’ and Maruti Suzuki’s EV Ecosystem

To validate the remarkable readiness of its EV charging network, the company is flagging off the Pan-India E-Drive. As part of this initiative, four e-VITARA Born EVs have departed from Gurugram to travel to the four corners of the country — from Srinagar in the north to the coastal tip of Kanyakumari in the south, to Dibrugarh in the east, and Bhuj in Gujarat in the west.
The drive will demonstrate the real-world feasibility of pan-India EV charging and ownership, further strengthening the nationwide operational network of ‘e for me’ charging points. To build customer confidence, the ‘e for me’ app will be available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, enabling prospective Maruti Suzuki EV customers to view the national network of EV charging points.
Made in India and exported globally, the e-VITARA Born EV is a world-class benchmark product. It has been rigorously tested over 1 crore kilometres, across some of the most challenging terrains from sand to snow. The e-VITARA has consistently performed in extreme temperatures ranging from –30°C to 60°C, delivering a driving range of 543 kilometres*.
Developed to offer cutting-edge, uniform customer experiences for EV owners worldwide, the e-VITARA, complemented by the ‘e for me’ electric vehicle ecosystem, is set to redefine EV ownership.
