As sales of electric vehicles (EVs) are on the rise, infrastructure providers are expanding their networks to cash in on the growing demand. EV charging network provider Statiq has partnered with Nexus Malls to set up charging stations across 17 malls in 13 cities.
The move will also help the company get closer to its plan to add 20,000 EV chargers before the end of this year.
Statiq co-founder and CEO Akshit Bansal said: “We want to provide an end-to-end ecosystem for EV charging and assure everyone that a Statiq EV charging station will always be at hand.”
The company has also partnered with Hero Electric and Ather to enhance the EV charging network in the northern states.
Similarly, M&M and Jio-bp are strengthening their existing partnership for setting up a charging network for Mahindra’s upcoming e-SUV launch. Starting with 16 cities, Jio-bp will install DC fast chargers at M&M dealer network and workshops across the country. With these chargers open to the public, the collaboration will benefit all stakeholders in the EV value chain.
The RIL-bp joint venture is aggressively expanding its Jio-bp pulse brand EV charging network by installing charging facilities at multiple touch points within cities and highways to ensure convenient intra-city and inter-city travel for EV owners.
MG Motor India has also entered into a partnership with BPCL to expand EV charging infrastructure.
In February, Hero MotoCorp and BPCL partnered to set up electric vehicle charging stations across the country. BPCL is setting up fast charging corridors across major highways, connecting major cities and economic centers, and aims to have 7,000 fast charging stations in the country within the next two to three years. IndianOil also plans to install 10,000 EV charging stations at petrol stations across the country.
Hyundai and Tata Power also announced a partnership to expand EV infrastructure across the country.
