Magenta to set up EV chargers on Xavier Institute’s multiple campuses

Charge Point Operator (CPO) Magenta has tied up with Xavier Institutes (part of the Jesuit Educational Network) to install EV charging stations at their multiple educational campuses, beginning with the first EV charger installation at Mumbai’s Xavier’s Institute of Engineering Campus at Mahim.

The charging station was inaugurated by Dr. HariBalaji N. IPS, Deputy Commissioner of Police. It is reportedly the first Electric Charging station in any educational institution in Mumbai. The EV charging station will be operational 24 hours a day, seven days a week, says Magenta. These chargers will be controlled via the ChargeGrid App, which features online remote monitoring and an automated payment mechanism.

The Charging station is a combination of AC and DC Chargers (30kW DC Fast Charger + 7.4kW AC), which is meant to support 2-wheelers, 3-wheelers and 4-wheelers. With this, Magenta will be installing EV chargers across Xavier’s network of educational institutes 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.

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, commented on the announcement, saying, “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.”
