Statiq, a public electric vehicle charging station network provider, has been awarded a tender by HPCL, to install more than 500 chargers for the government-owned PSU. 

Statiq will install over 500 chargers across Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal. 

While over 400 chargers will be of 3.3 kw capacity each, a few more than a hundred chargers will be of 7.7 kw capacity each. All types of EVs including two-wheelers, three-wheelers and four-wheelers will be able to make use of these EV chargers.

Only last year, Statiq had installed nearly 200 chargers, about 130 chargers of 3.3kw and 75 chargers of 7.7 kw capacity, at HPCL’s outlets in a number of towns including Gorakhpur, Kanpur, Lucknow, Patna, Agra, Meerut, Dehradun and Varanasi, as per the press release. 

“With these chargers present at their petrol pump stations, EV users would now be able to seamlessly access easy and convenient charging options. This would certainly enable them to get similar user experiences as they did with their petrol and diesel vehicles before", said Aman Rehman, Head Of Government Relations, Statiq.
