BPCL continues to electrify stations in India with 30 new EV hubs
Over 5,000 kilometers have been future-proofed with the deployment of fast chargers on 15 major highways in Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited announced the launch of 19 EV fast-charging sites at 110 service stations along 15 highways in Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
The company has launched 3 corridors with 19 stations in Kerala, 6 Corridors with 33 outlets in Karnataka and 10 corridors with 58 fuel sites in Tamil Nadu. These corridors will connect important religious and tourist destinations with cities.
So far, BPCL has converted 21 highways into electric corridors and, going forward, 200 highways will be covered with EV fast chargers across India, to support and accelerate the EV growth in the country.
“It takes just 30 minutes to charge an EV, giving a driving range of up to 125 kilometers at our fuel stations, therefore we have maintained the distance within 100 kilometers between the two charging stations,” said Pushp Kumar Nayar, Head of Retail South at BPCL.
Several of BPCL’s highway fuel stations also offer food through its strategic alliances with brands such as McDonald’s, A2B, Cube Stop, Café Coffee Day and other local outlets. Bharat Petroleum has also rolled out its chain of In & Out convenience stores at key fuel stations on highways for added convenience to its customers.
