Jio-bp (the operating brand of Reliance BP Mobility Limited, a joint venture of Reliance Industries and bp), a leading provider of EV charging solutions, announced a partnership with Kia India to integrate their EV charging networks and make public charging more accessible for EV users across the country.
Under this collaboration, Kia EV customers can discover, access and use Jio-bp pulse charging stations through K-Charge in the MyKia app, Kia India’s integrated EV charging platform. With the pulse network on board, the platform now offers access to 23,500+ charging points across India. The integration works in both directions. Kia India’s high-capacity dealership chargers will be gradually added to the Jio-bp pulse charge pro app, extending the reach of both networks. Customers can locate available chargers, navigate them, start and monitor charging sessions, and pay securely, all within the apps.
Commenting on the partnership, Atul Sood, Senior Vice President, Sales & Marketing said: “At Kia India, we are committed to making every aspect of the EV ownership experience as seamless and rewarding as the vehicles themselves. The integration of Jio-bp’s extensive charging network with K-Charge on the MyKia app is another step in this direction, giving Kia EV customers greater access to charging options through a single platform. By enhancing convenience, choice, and accessibility, we are further strengthening the overall Kia EV experience and supporting the growing adoption of electric mobility in India.”
Sarthak Behuria, Chairman, Jio-bp, said: “India’s shift to electric mobility depends on building trust at scale. Our partnership with Kia India reflects that shared conviction. By bringing our nationwide network and high-performance charging infrastructure to Kia, we are not just adding charging points, we are building that trust together. This collaboration marks a meaningful step in our broader vision to make clean mobility accessible, dependable, and future-ready for every Indian on the road.”
Akshay Wadhwa, CEO, Jio-bp, said: “For EV owners, range anxiety is often not just about charger availability, but about knowing whether the next charger will be operational. That’s where Jio-bp pulse comes in, with high-uptime charging stations and fast-charging technology designed to deliver a reliable, seamless charging experience. Together with Kia, we are making it easier for customers to access this network directly through the app. We are excited to give EV owners a charging experience that matches the quality of the vehicles they drive.”
What does Jio-bp bring to the partnership?
Jio-bp contributes a network of 7,000+ charging points across 1,100+ active charging sites in more than 300 cities, significantly widening the geographic footprint available to Kia EV owners. Many of these are strategically located along major national highways, enabling smoother, more confident long-distance travel. On the technology front, Jio-bp’s charging infrastructure includes high-capacity DC fast chargers ranging from 60 kW to 480 kW, allowing premium Kia EV models to charge at speeds closer to their maximum hardware potential. Reliability remains a key pillar of the partnership as well, with Jio-bp’s network maintaining a 96% uptime.
Jio-bp pulse offers its “charge pro” app, enabling every proud EV owner to seamlessly discover, charge, and pay across a network of 7,000+ charging points. Powered by AI, the app provides real-time network intelligence, along with unmatched uptime and reliability. Through this partnership, Kia’s 125 operational DC fast chargers installed across its dealerships, along with additional chargers to be commissioned in the future, will be progressively integrated into the charge pro app, further strengthening its promise of delivering trust and convenience while reinforcing Jio-bp’s vision of reimagining mobility.
How does the K-Charge in MyKia app enhance EV charging accessibility for customers?
The MyKia app serves as a comprehensive EV charging companion for Kia customers, bringing together an extensive charging network and a seamless digital charging experience on a single platform. Following the integration of the Jio-bp pulse network, Kia EV owners now have access to over 23,500 public charging points nationwide through K-Charge within the MyKia app. From locating nearby chargers and planning journeys to initiating charging sessions, tracking charging progress, and making secure cashless payments, customers can manage their entire public charging journey effortlessly through one unified interface. This integration further reinforces Kia India’s commitment to making EV ownership more convenient, accessible, and worry-free for customers across the country
