The main aim behind the partnership is to establish EV charging infrastructure across the country

Hero MotoCorp has collaborated with Bharat Petroleum to set up charging infrastructure for two-wheeled electric vehicles across the country. The world’s largest manufacturer of motorcycles and scooters becomes the first automotive OEM to tie up with the leading Public Sector Undertaking (PSU).

Under this partnership, the entities will first establish a substantial charging infrastructure at the existing nationwide energy station network. This will be done phase wise. In the first phase, charging stations will be set up across nine cities starting with Delhi and Bangalore. Following this, the network will be further expanded across the country. The aim is to establish a high density of charging stations.
