Jio-bp and TVS Motor company to partner on EV solutions

Reliance BP Mobility Limited's (RBML) Jio-bp and TVS Motor Company will partner to create public EV charging infrastructure for electric two-wheelers and three-wheelers in the country, the companies said today.

The partnership aims at creating a regular AC charging network and a DC fast-charging network.

"This will align with Jio-bp and TVS’ commitment to providing vast and reliable charging infrastructure to their customers. In addition to creating solutions for seamless customer journey on TVS and Jio-bp apps, both companies will bring the best of their global learnings in electrification and apply them to the Indian market to create a differentiated customer experience that delights the consumer," Jio-bp said in a statement.

Jio-bp is operating its EV charging and swapping stations under the brand Jio-bp pulse. With the Jio-bp pulse app, customers can find stations nearby and charge their electric vehicles. Jio-bp is also creating a charging ecosystem that will benefit stakeholders in the EV value chain.

TVS Motor Company has, since the launch of its electric mobility products, sold over 12,000 units of its high-speed electric scooter TVS iQube. The company has committed Rs. 1,000 crores towards EV business, a good portion of which has already been invested. To lead the way to electrification, the company is readying a complete portfolio of two and three-wheelers in the range of 5-25kW, all of which will be in the market within the next 24 months.

"This partnership will help drive EV adoption in the country among two and three-wheeler customers who aspire to take a step forward in going electric. The rapid proliferation of these charging stations will broaden both the companies' horizons and expedite India’s net-zero emission goals," the companies said.
