Kia India on Friday said it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL) to expand its public electric vehicle (EV) charging network, taking its K-Charge ecosystem to over 15,000 charging touchpoints across the country.Under the agreement, over 3,000 BPCL charging points will be integrated into Kia’s K-Charge platform, strengthening charging accessibility for Kia EV customers and addressing range anxiety — one of the key barriers to EV adoption in India.The partnership aims to improve everyday usability of electric vehicles by enabling customers to access a wider charging network across urban centres, highways and inter-city routes. Kia said that the integration of BPCL’s infrastructure will help customers plan journeys more efficiently and reduce dependence on standalone charging providers.K-Charge, accessible through the MyKia app and the Kia India website, allows users to locate charging stations, navigate to them and make payments through a unified digital platform.

The expansion of charging infrastructure aligns with Kia India’s growing electric vehicle portfolio in the country. The company’s made-in-India electric model, Carens Clavis EV, along with global models such as the EV6 and EV9, are expected to play a role in strengthening its presence in the Indian EV market.
