Statiq expands its footprint in UP

Statiq has launched a public fast EV charging station at the Lucknow premise of the Fun Republic mall. This development is aimed at giving an impetus to alternative and cleaner fuel-based green mobility in Lucknow. Equipped with two DC fast chargers of 60 kW, the charging station includes a range of guns to charge an EV up to 80 per cent in about 40 minutes. It also enables two cars to be charged simultaneously at this station. “The popularity of the mall, the large footfall and the strategic location make it the perfect venue for this public fast EV charging station allowing easy and convenient access to quick charging services for the city’s ever-growing EV owners,” commented Irfan Kawoosa, Head of Investor and Franchise Relations, at Statiq. Recently, Statiq has also set up a similar charging station at Bareilly, in Uttar Pradesh. By the end of the year, Statiq aims to establish a 20,000 strong charging network.
