Jio-bp, Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) and bp’s joint venture for fuel and mobility, has teamed with Omaxe to create a battery charging network for electric vehicles. Omaxe is one of India’s most prominent real estate developers, and the relationship will allow Jio-bp to expand its charging footprint across the country. In accordance with the agreement, Jio-bp would gradually install EV charging and swapping infrastructure at Omaxe sites in Delhi, Noida, Faridabad, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, New Chandigarh, Patiala, Ludhiana, Amritsar, Greater Noida, Jaipur, Sonipat, and Bahadurgarh.
At Omaxe properties, Jio-bp will install EV charging infrastructure for two and four wheelers 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Reliance BP Mobility Limited (RBML) is a joint venture between Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) and bp in India that operates under the Jio-bp brand. Jio-bp built and launched two of India’s largest EV charging hubs last year. Jio-bp is establishing a charging environment that will benefit all stakeholders in the EV value chain by combining the best of RIL and bp’s strengths in electrification. The JV’s EV services are branded Jio-bp pulse, and consumers may use the Jio-bp pulse mobile app to identify charging stations near them and charge their electric vehicles seamlessly.
Through the Jio digital platform, the joint venture takes advantage of Reliance’s nationwide presence and millions of customers. bp brings a wealth of experience in high-quality differentiated fuels, lubricants, retail, and advanced low-carbon transportation solutions from around the world. RBML offers sophisticated mobility solutions and alternative fueling options to its clients, such as Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations and Battery Swapping Stations, in addition to traditional fuels (BSS).
MG Motor India and Castrol India have previously announced their collaboration with Jio-bp to explore mobility options for electric vehicles on June 2nd. Jio-bp, MG Motor, and Castrol will explore putting up four-wheeler EV charging infrastructure and expanding Castrol’s current auto service network to accommodate EV customers as part of the agreement.
Earlier Tata Power, India’s largest EV charging solutions provider has partnered with Pune-based Kolte-Patil Developers Limited (KPDL), for installing charging stations for providing comprehensive charging solutions to EV owners, across KPDL projects in Pune, Bengaluru and Mumbai.
On the international front, the Biden-Harris Administration has taken further measures toward President Biden’s objective of constructing the first-ever national network of 500,000 electric vehicle chargers along America’s highways and in towns. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Act includes a provision for the creation of an electric vehicle network. The Department of Transportation is proposing new guidelines in collaboration with the Department of Energy to make charging electric vehicles (EVs) convenient, reliable, and inexpensive for all Americans, including when travelling long distances.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Act of 2017 allocates $7.5 billion to electric vehicle charging infrastructure. It also includes more than $7 billion in funding for the crucial minerals supply chains that are required for batteries, components, materials, and recycling.
EV Charging Infra is the key component in the success of transition towards clean mobility. All the large players are competing globally to gain market share before it becomes late.
