Hyundai Motor India partners Jio-bp to offer 37,000 charging points through myHyundai app
By Eve
Hyundai Motor India Limited has partnered with Jio-bp (Reliance BP Mobility Limited) to integrate their EV charging networks, giving customers access to over 37,000 charging points across India via the myHyundai app. Hyundai's high capacity chargers will also be integrated into the Jio-bp pulse charge pro app. The carmaker says customer concerns are shifting from range anxiety to charging anxiety as its EV product line expands in India.
Why it matters
The deal shows how OEMs are bundling third party charging access to ease adoption, and signals that Jio-bp's network scale (37,000 points) is now large enough to anchor major manufacturer partnerships in the Indian market.

Hyundai cancels IONIQ 3 launch in Australia citing Turkish import costs and Chinese EV price pressure
Hyundai has scrapped plans to launch the IONIQ 3 electric hatchback in Australia, originally scheduled for early 2027 at around AUD 40,000. The company cited high importation costs from its Turkey plant and intense price competition from Chinese EVs as reasons the business case no longer works. Through September, Chinese brands including BYD, Geely, Zeekr and Omoda Jaecoo held six of Australia's top 10 EV sales positions, with the BYD Sealion 7 selling 19,964 units and the Geely EX5 reaching 12,745 units.
Why it matters
The withdrawal signals that even established OEMs are retreating from price sensitive segments where Chinese manufacturers dominate, reshaping procurement strategies for fleet buyers and charge point operators targeting mass market EV drivers. Australian CPOs planning infrastructure around anticipated model launches must now account for supply chain economics that can cancel vehicles before they reach showrooms.
Lime commits £886,857 to fund 586 e-bike parking bays across nine London boroughs
Lime has allocated £886,857 to nine London boroughs, including Greenwich, Lambeth and Hackney, to create or expand 586 shared e-bike parking bays in response to pavement crowding. The operator says it has now helped fund more than 3,400 parking bays across London as shared e-bikes account for one in 10 of the capital's 1 million daily cycling trips, according to Transport for London figures. Lime has also opened a fresh funding round for councils seeking to add more parking capacity.
Why it matters
The investment shows how operators are funding street infrastructure to support fleet growth, creating procurement opportunities for councils that need parking hardware and installation services. With shared e-bikes now representing 10% of London's daily cycling trips, the model may inform how other cities structure operator contributions to public realm works.
No commercial holsters exist for Type 2 male charging cable ends, installer confirms
An EV owner seeking a holster for the Type 2 male plug end that connects to a home charging point has been told no such product exists on the market, according to a 15 year EVSE installer responding to the query. The reader purchased a 15 metre Type 2 to Type 2 cable to bridge a 5 metre horizontal distance and 3 metre vertical step gap between their off street parking and charging point. All commercially available cable holsters are designed only for the female connector that plugs into vehicles.
Why it matters
The absence of holsters for supply side cable ends highlights a product gap in the residential charging accessories market, particularly for installations where cable management across uneven terrain or vertical distances is required. Installers and equipment suppliers may find demand for bespoke cable storage solutions in properties with non standard parking configurations.
