HPCL Integrates over 5,000 HPe Charge EV Chargers With Pulse Energy Platform

Pulse Energy, an EV charging access and payments platform, has announced a partnership with HPe Charge, the electric mobility brand of Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL). As part of the agreement, HPCL’s network of more than 5,000 EV chargers will be integrated into Pulse Energy’s platform. The integration allows electric vehicle users to locate chargers, initiate charging sessions and make payments across HPCL stations through one interface.

India’s EV charging landscape has so far been marked by multiple networks operating through separate mobile applications and payment systems. This partnership reflects a shift toward interoperability, where charging infrastructure from different operators can be accessed without switching platforms. HPCL now joins other charging operators already available on Pulse Energy’s platform, including Shell, ChargeZone, BESCOM, Thunderplus, along with several regional networks.

HPCL has been expanding its EV charging presence across highways, fuel stations and urban locations under the HPe Charge brand. The integration with Pulse Energy is expected to improve charger visibility and accessibility, particularly for intercity and long-distance EV travel.

For EV owners, the integration reduces the need to manage multiple applications and payment methods. For charging operators, it may help increase charger utilisation by making stations available to a wider user base.

Akhil Jayaprakash, Co-Founder of Pulse Energy, said, “India doesn’t have an EV range anxiety problem, it has an access problem. “We’re slowly building the infrastructure no one sees, but everyone uses.”
