Renowned luxury hotel brand Marriott International and EV charging solutions provider Charge Zone have partnered to install more than 100 fast-charging stations across Marriott’s properties in India. The hotel chain will utilise it to charge Marriott’s EV fleet and will also allow the public to use these chargers.

As a part of the initiative, Charge Zone has already installed two charging guns with a DC power output of 60kW/120kW at The Westin in Powai, Mumbai. It provides CCS2 universal rapid chargers supporting electric cars available in India. These fast chargers can recharge a vehicle from zero to 80 per cent in about 45-60 minutes, whereas zero to 100 per cent can take approximately 90-120 minutes, depending on the battery size and charging capability of the EV.

The firm aims to set up 100 chargers at various Marriott locations in a phased manner by 2022. Besides this, Charge Zone will put up Type 2 AC chargers alongside the DC fast chargers at specific properties, according to the requirement.
