DC fast charges to be installed in M&M network-workshops across the country
Jio-bp, a fuels and mobility joint venture between Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) and bp, are setting up robust charging network for Mahindra & Mahindra’s upcoming e-SUVs launches.
Starting with 16 cities, Jio-bp will install DC fast chargers at M&M dealership network and workshops across the country, a joint statement said on 11 Oct 2022.
With these chargers being open to the public, the partnership will benefit all stakeholders in the EV value chain.
M&M launched its first all-electric C segment SUV – the XUV400 at Mahindra Research Valley, Chennai, earlier this month.
The company also made rapid strides towards electrification by unveiling its Born Electric Vision with a range of world-class electric SUVs to be launched in the country in the next few years.
The group is supplementing the launch of electric vehicles with access to extensive fast-charging infrastructure.
To this end, M&M has partnered with Jio-bp to provide EV users with a wide, accessible and convenient fast-charging network.
The RIL and bp joint venture is aggressively expanding its Jio-bp pulse branded EV charging network by setting up charging facilities at multiple touch points within cities and major highways to ensure smooth intra-city and inter-city commutes for EV owners.
Through a state-of-the-art digital platform, this partnership envisages rolling out e-mobility solutions across discovery, availability, navigation and transactions to empower all EV users to seamlessly access the M&M partner charging network.
Last year, the companies had signed an MoU for exploring the creation of EV products and services, alongside identifying synergies in low-carbon and conventional fuels. fiinews.com
