Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) and eMobility service provider IONAGE have partnered to enhance the country’s EV charging infrastructure. In a statement, the company said that the agreement would increase the convenience and accessibility of EV ownership nationwide by making it simpler for EV consumers to utilize BPCL electric vehicle (EV) chargers across the country via the IONAGE network.
Cooperating with BPCL aligns with our objective of democratizing the ecosystem for EV charging.
