EV players like the Tatas and TVS Motors, among others, are doing their bit to improve the EV charging infrastructure in the country and address the all-important range-anxiety among the public. Concomitantly, traditional fuel outlets are also stepping in and making themselves available as EV charging sites. BPCL and Jio-bp are leading the way in this.
Jio-bp has now tied up with Omaxe, one of India’s leading real estate developers to establish a battery charging ecosystem for electrical vehicles.
Jio-bp will set up EV charging and swapping infrastructure at various Omaxe properties across Delhi, Noida, Greater Noida, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, New Chandigarh, Ludhiana, Patiala, Amritsar, Jaipur, Sonipat and Bahadurgarh in a phased manner.
EV charging infra at commercial spaces
Understanding the need for EV charging infrastructure at commercial establishments, Jio-bp is working with developers and real estate players in the country. Jio-bp will install 24*7 EV charging infrastructure for two and four wheelers at Omaxe properties.
Last year, Jio-bp constructed and launched two of India’s largest EV charging hubs. The EV services operate under the brand Jio-bp pulse, and with the Jio-bp pulse mobile app, customers can easily find charging stations nearby and seamlessly charge their electric vehicles.
Operating under the brand ‘Jio-bp’, Reliance BP Mobility Limited (RBML) is a joint venture between Reliance Industries and bp (British Petroleum). In addition to marketing conventional fuels, RBML provides EV charging points, and Battery Swapping Stations (BSS).
Jio-bp has already tied up with MG Motor India and Castrol India to explore mobility solutions for electric cars. Under the partnership, Jio-bp, MG Motor and Castrol will explore setting up four-wheeler EV charging infrastructure and expand Castrol’s existing auto service network to cater to EV Customers in inter-city and intra-city travel. Jio-bp has also worked out an understanding with TVS Motors to create robust public EV charging infrastructure for electric two-wheelers and three-wheelers.
Omaxe, for its part, has established a strong footprint in several cities of North and Central India. It has delivered a wide range of real estate projects – from integrated townships to offices, malls and high street projects.
