Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) joined hands with Bounce Infinity to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles across India through the establishment of innovative ‘eDrive stores’ at its retail outlets.
Located at BPCL fuel stations, the stores would be providing a convenient and direct way for customers to purchase Bounce Infinity’s range of electric scooters. The stores will be operated either by Bounce Infinity or through BPCL’s dealer network, ensuring a seamless customer experience.
Talking about the collaboration, Pardeep Goyal, Business Head of Retail at BPCL revealed that the company is constantly advancing its services to support the nation’s sustainability goals.
“Partnering with Bounce Infinity is an integral part of our strategy to transform our fuel stations into versatile energy hubs that cater to the evolving needs of our customers and contribute to environmental sustainability,” he added.
Vivekananda Hallekare, CEO and Co-founder of Bounce Infinity said, “This partnership strengthens our goal of sustainable mobility solutions. Bounce Infinity will now leverage BPCL’s extensive retail network to offer consumers convenient access to our innovative range of electric two-wheelers. The flexible operation model of eDrive stores ensures consistent adherence to the highest quality standards and operational efficiency across all locations.”
This partnership leverages the leading oil and gas firm’s extensive network to transform selected fuel stations into EV hubs where consumers can purchase, test and ride electric scooters. Each eDrive store will also have charging points to make it convenient for customers to charge their vehicles promoting the use of electric scooters.
The introduction of BPCL’s eDrive stores marks a major milestone in making EVs more convenient among Indian consumers.
