Statiq, a leading electric vehicle (EV) charging network, has recently bagged Rajasthan Electronics & Instruments Ltd. (REIL) contract, wherein it will supply approximately 253 fast chargers for four key highway projects connecting Agra-Lucknow, Meerut-Gangotri, Chennai-Bellary, and Mangaldai-Wakro.
The company already has several chargers operating in Jaipur, Beawar, Jaisalmer, Udaipur and Jodhpur. With this win, there will be an additional host of Statiq chargers on these expressways. Through them, Statiq will ensure an affordable, accessible and reliable 4-wheeler charging network on these corridors. While this is an outright sale, Statiq will maintain the overall quality and upkeep of the equipment for the next 3 years.
The state-owned REIL has always been at the forefront of promoting e-mobility and supporting charging infrastructure across the nation. Just like Statiq, the PSU is alarmed at the increasing numbers of ICE vehicles that pose adverse impacts on the environment and citizens’ health. And thus it has been actively working with the government (both central and state) to set up the domestic EV charging infrastructure under FAME India Scheme Phase II. Their steadfast focus has been on installing DC fast chargers at prime locations to encourage accelerated adoption of EVs.
For this tender, their requirement is an assortment of 210 fast chargers of more than 50kW charging capacity and another 43 fast chargers of more than 100kW charging capacity that will charge 4-wheelers quickly. By winning this contract, Statiq will not only reach out to a sizable population and help assuage range anxiety but also support them in travelling long distances while they #StayCharged.
