"Statiq has always been about promoting carbon-free mobility in India by providing an expansive charging network, and this alliance will strengthen our mission to advance the growth of the EV ecosystem further. We are so glad that they are as eager as we are to nurture the network and expedite EV adoption by increasing customer confidence and curbing range anxiety", he added.

Statiq aims to provide an end-to-end ecosystem for EV chargers in the country. Last month, the startup announced a collaboration with E2W company Ather Energy to enhance the combined EV charging network in the northern states, with a special emphasis on the NCR region.
Over the last year, Statiq claims to have launched numerous charging stations to reinforce its network. The company has already installed 6,500+ charging stations, with recent ones being located at Mangaluru in Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh, and Rajasthan. By the end of the year, Statiq aims to have about 20,000 charging points in its network.
