Kia India Expands EV Charging Access to 15,000+ Points, Signs MoU with BPCL

Kia India announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) to significantly expand its public EV charging network, taking its K-Charge ecosystem to over 15,000 charging touchpoints nationwide. The strategic collaboration strengthens charging accessibility for Kia EV customers and addresses one of the key considerations influencing electric vehicle adoption range confidence.

Commenting on the development, Mr. Atul Sood, Senior Vice President, Sales & Marketing, Kia India, said, “Convenience and confidence are critical to EV adoption. Through this partnership with BPCL, we are making EV ownership more practical and stress-free for our customers by expanding charging access at scale”.

As electric mobility gains momentum in India, charging availability remains a decisive factor for customers considering the shift to EVs. By integrating BPCL’s public charging infrastructure into K-Charge, Kia India is strengthening everyday EV usability, enabling customers to travel more freely across urban centres, highways, and inter-city routes.

The MoU between Kia India and BPCL was formalised on the sidelines of the 4^th edition of India Energy Week 2026, held from 27–30 January at the ONGC Academy Training Institute (ATI), Goa. Under the agreement, over 3,000 BPCL charging points will be onboarded onto Kia’s K-Charge platform, significantly expanding the network’s national footprint.

K-Charge, accessible via the MyKia App and Kia India website, enables customers to seamlessly locate charging stations, navigate to them, and initiate payment for charging through a single, unified digital platform. The expanded network reduces dependency on standalone charging providers and simplifies the EV ownership experience.
