In a move to expand the electric vehicle (EV) charging network in India, Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) Director Anant Ambani and bp CEO Murray Auchincloss inaugurated Jio-bp's 500th EV charging station at Jio World Centre in Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), Mumbai. The station will provide convenient EV charging for visitors to the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, Jio World Plaza and Jio World Convention Centre.
On this occasion, Jio-bp announced the completion of the installation of 5,000 EV charging points across India. Jio-bp's charging network has expanded rapidly in the last one year, growing from 1,300 to 5,000 charging points. 95% of the company's charging stations offer fast-charging, making it the fastest and most reliable EV charging network in the country.
Jio-bp has used high quality 480 KW chargers to reduce “range anxiety” among electric vehicle owners. These chargers offer a faster charging experience at malls, public parking, corporate parks, hotels and other key locations. Along with this, Jio-bp's advanced mobile application 'Jio-bp Pulse' makes the charging process even easier for EV owners.
On this occasion, Anant Ambani said, “Jio-bp is playing an important role in rapidly promoting EV adoption in India. With the largest network of fast-charging stations and the fastest growth of EV charging infrastructure, Jio-bp is providing an excellent digital charging solution to millions of Indians.”
Murray Auchincloss, CEO of bp, said, “EV charging is an important part of our energy business. We are focused on rapid expansion, setting up charging stations at strategic locations and providing a better experience to consumers. By combining the capabilities of RIL and bp, we are trying to deliver a unique value to consumers.”
