Hero MotoCorp, BPCL tie up to set up charging infrastructure for electric two-wheelers

Hero MotoCorp, the world’s largest manufacturer of motorcycles and scooters, has tied up with Bharat Petroleum Corp (BPCL) to set up charging infrastructure for two-wheeled electric vehicles across the country.

Hero and BPCL will first establish charging infrastructure at the existing fuel stations and “subsequently may broaden the collaboration to develop more synergies within the EV ecosystem and adjacent business verticals,” the companies said in a statement.

In the first phase, charging stations will be set up across nine cities starting with Delhi and Bengaluru. The user charging experience will be controlled by a Hero MotoCorp mobile app.

BPCL plans to set up EV charging facilities at 7,000 petrol pumps.
