Hyundai, Jio-bp integrate EV charging networks across India

Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has partnered with Jio-bp to integrate their respective electric vehicle (EV) charging networks, giving EV users access to Jio-bp pulse charging stations through the myHyundai app.

The integration adds more than 7,000 Jio-bp pulse charging points across 300-plus cities to HMIL’s charging ecosystem. According to Hyundai, this takes the number of charging points accessible through the myHyundai app to more than 37,000 across India.

The partnership also provides for HMIL’s high-capacity DC fast chargers to be gradually made available through the Jio-bp pulse charge pro app. The companies said the integration is intended to give EV users access to both charging networks through their respective digital platforms.
