New Delhi: Statiq, a leading electric vehicle (EV) charging network, has teamed up with Nexus Malls to set up EV chargers across the parking lots of its 17 malls across 13 cities in the country.
Each of these new charging hubs in the mall parking lots will offer a combination of slow and fast chargers so that users can easily charge their electric 2, 3 and 4-wheelers. The move also helps the company inch towards its plans to add over 20,000 new EV chargers to its network before the end of this year, and help more EV users to #StayCharged and commute stress-free.
Co-Founder and CEO, Statiq, Akshit Bansal, said, “Each commercial project of the Nexus Malls family is at an extremely popular social destination that sees footfall in thousands every single day – not to mention the busy weekends. Since Statiq aims to reach as many people as possible with each charging hub we install, this team-up with Nexus Malls is quite strategic to us. Users will be able to find Accessible, Affordable and Reliable charging stations at their fingertips so that they can always #StayCharged.”
“We pride ourselves in a unique and consistent experience that we deliver across our portfolio of malls. We are happy to join hands with Statiq, it will add a new dimension to building a more responsible and sustainable future together. In addition to several other ESG initiatives which Nexus Malls has undertaken over years, the roll out of the EV charging stations will encourage and allow the company’s customers to charge their vehicles while they continue to enjoy the curated shopping experience which we take great pride in delivering.” Nilesh Singh, VP, ESG and Business Excellence at Nexus Malls, said.
Statiq wants to provide an end-to-end ecosystem for EV charging and assure everybody that a Statiq EV charging station will always be at hand. Working towards that aim, just recently Statiq has raised over INR 200 crore in Series ‘A’ funding. It has teamed up with Hero Electric and also collaborated with EV maker Ather, to enhance the combined EV charging network in the northern states of India. The latest proposition is the next step on Statiq’s part to expedite this process further.
By the end of the year, Statiq aims to have an approximately 20,000-strong charging network. Each location is handpicked for one singular reason – that it is located on busy routes with extremely extensive footfalls. Statiq is looking forward to making many more such announcements.
