Statiq, India’s leading electric vehicle (EV) charging network, has partnered with Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles in India. This strategic collaboration includes the development of a bespoke app for BPCL and the integration of BPCL’s existing chargers, which boast approximately 2800 chargers, including 2,000 AC and 800 DC chargers, into Statiq’s network.
“We are thrilled to partner with BPCL, a move that aligns with our mission to make EV charging accessible and reliable for all. 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 Akshit Bansal, Founder & CEO of Statiq.
Statiq is at the forefront of developing the technology and software needed to run EV charging stations efficiently. The company’s expertise in software development and leading-edge technology ensures that the charging process is smooth and user-friendly, addressing the technical challenges that come with scaling EV infrastructure. By creating sophisticated software solutions, Statiq not only elevates the user experience but also improves the operational efficiency of the charging network.
The pressing issue of climate change has highlighted the necessity for sustainable transportation solutions. Electric vehicles play a pivotal role in reducing pollution and mitigating climate change. As awareness and popularity of EVs rise, better infrastructure becomes crucial. An extensive network of charging stations can substantially impact EV adoption, making eco-friendly transportation more viable and accessible to the public. This infrastructure supports the transition to a greener future and helps curb the environmental impact of traditional vehicles.
Statiq’s expertise in EV charging software is a key component of this partnership. The company provides the technological backbone that allows smooth integration and management of charging stations. Statiq’s software ensures that charging stations are always online, payments are processed easily, and users have access to real-time information about charger availability and performance. This capability is critical as Statiq expands its network and integrates more chargers into its system.
Statiq’s extensive network of over 7,000 chargers across 65 cities, including tier 1, tier 2, and tier 3 cities, shows its commitment to supporting EV growth. The company plans to expand this network to 20,000 chargers by 2025. Statiq’s charging stations are designed to accommodate a wide range of electric vehicles, including popular models such as Tata Nexon, MG EVZS, and Tata Tiago EV, catering to the evolving needs of EV owners. By forging partnerships with key stakeholders, Statiq ensures that its network is not only comprehensive but also convenient for all users. Looking ahead, the company plans to establish more such collaborations, recognising that a collective approach is crucial for the widespread adoption of EVs.
