To hasten the uptake of electric vehicles in India, Statiq, the country’s top provider of EV charging networks, has teamed up with Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL).
A custom app for BPCL will be created as part of this strategic partnership, and Statiq’s network will be integrated with BPCL’s current chargers—of which there are about 2800—2,000 AC and 800 DC.
Akshit Bansal, Founder & CEO of Statiq, highlighted the partnership’s alignment with the company’s mission. “This collaboration allows us to leverage BPCL’s vast network, providing seamless and convenient charging solutions to a larger number of EV users. Our goal is to create a robust EV infrastructure that supports the growing demand and drives the transition to sustainable mobility in India,” said Bansal.
Statiq’s network currently spans over 7,000 chargers across 65 cities, with ambitious plans to expand to 20,000 chargers by 2025. This expansion is designed to accommodate a wide range of electric vehicles, including popular models, ensuring comprehensive support for India’s growing number of EV owners.
The initiative is seen as a critical move in fostering sustainable transportation solutions, crucial for reducing pollution and combating climate change. With increasing awareness and popularity of electric vehicles, the development of an extensive and efficient charging infrastructure is deemed essential for promoting wider adoption of eco-friendly vehicles.
