Electric vehicle charging players Statiq and Glida (formerly known as Fortum Charge & Drive India) have entered into a partnership to expand their scope of offerings and make EV chargers more accessible for passenger electric vehicle (PEV) users nationwide.
Through the partnership all Glida public chargers will now be accessible through Statiq app as well, offering users visibility and accessibility to Glida’s entire charging network, covering existing and upcoming chargers. Through this collaboration, EV users will benefit from seamless interoperability between Statiq and Glida charging stations enabling wide network access by omitting multi-app usage needs for charging and connectivity.
The Glida Chargers shall continue to be accessed through its app and Charge-Thru (App agnostic weblink solution designed for the ease of EV users).
Raghav Arora, Co-Founder & CTO, Statiq said, “This partnership is a pivotal step in our mission to create an extensive and user-friendly EV charging ecosystem in the country. By integrating Glida’s chargers into the Statiq app, we are enhancing convenience and affability for EV users. This partnership underscores our shared commitment to innovation, sustainability, and customer-centric solutions. By combining our strengths, we aim to create a seamless charging experience for EV owners and play a pivotal role in shaping India’s sustainable transportation ecosystem.”
In line with Statiq’s broader strategy, the company is actively collaborating with various charge point operators (CPO’s) to help, new and existing EV users access a reliable charging infrastructure across partner Charge Point Operators (CPOs) and do away with the problem of maintaining balance in multiple apps. Now Statiq Credits can be seamlessly used across all partner CPOs.
Awadhesh Kumar Jha, Executive Director, Glida said, “This unique collaboration opens newer avenues for users to seamlessly discover, access and conveniently experience charging on GLIDA’s all-India network facilitated through the Statiq App as well besides its own App and App agnostic Charge-Thru. This move allows us to leverage our expertise in green mobility solutions to build a robust and sustainable EV charging infrastructure aligned with the evolving customer needs.”
This strategic collaboration marks a significant milestone in the journey towards a sustainable transportation ecosystem. With more than 850 Glida’ charging points set to be accessible to an EV user through various ways including the Statiq app, this partnership marks a significant step forward in alleviating a major concern of users and thus, it will help accelerate smoother adoption of EVs, emphasising on the importance of collaboration in advancing sustainable mobility solutions.
