New Delhi. According to Ola CEO Bhavish Agarwal, ride-hailing firm Ola has started installing hyperchargers at the pumps of Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) as well as in residential complexes of cities. Agarwal also said that by next year, more than 4,000 such charging points will be built.
He said that these hyperchargers are being installed across India and they will be made operational in 6-8 weeks. The Ola CEO said that once operational, these hyperchargers will be free to use for all customers by the end of June next year.
Agarwal tweeted this information on Twitter along with some pictures, which read, “Hypercharger roll out has started in cities. Major BPCL pumps as well as residential complexes will have 4,000+ points installed by next year. We are installing these hyperchargers all over India and will make them operational in 6-8 weeks.
Free for use till the end of June 22 for all customers.” With its Hypercharger network, Ola aims to take electric vehicle charging to the next level. According to the Ola website, “Automated, multilevel charging and parking systems in popular areas across multiple cities will ensure that you find a place to charge with ease.”
It further added that standalone chargers will also be installed at major malls, IT parks and popular locations across India to ensure on-the-go charging. These chargers are being manufactured by Ola Partners.
The Bengaluru-based firm has said that the home charger will come with the scooter and will not require installation. Access to the Ola Hypercharger will be limited to Ola customers only.
