Statiq partners with GLIDA to accelerate EV adoption in India

EV charging solution providers GLIDA (formerly known as Fortum Charge and Drive India) and Statiq have entered into a partnership to expand the country’s EV charging infrastructure and accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles. The collaboration aims to redefine the landscape of EV charging infrastructure through enhanced convenience, accessibility, and empowerment for users.

Under the partnership, all public chargers operated by GLIDA charging network can now be used through Statiq app as well, offering its users wider accessibility to GLIDA’s entire charging network. Through this collaboration, EV users will benefit from seamless interoperability between Statiq and GLIDA charging stations. It will help omit multi-app usage needs for charging and connectivity. GLIDA Chargers shall continue to be accessed through its app and charge-thru.

GLIDA has more than 850 charging points set to be accessible to an EV user through various ways including the Statiq app. This move helps accelerate smoother adoption of EVs as India embraces the transition to electric vehicles. “This move allows us to leverage our expertise in green mobility solutions to build a robust & sustainable EV charging infrastructure aligned with the evolving customer needs . Together, we are paving the way for a cleaner and greener future, and thus making it ‘All Lights Green’ for our end users,” said Awadhesh Kumar Jha, Executive Director, GLIDA.

Statiq’s broader strategy includes actively collaborating with various charge point operators (CPO’s) to help new and existing EV users access a reliable charging infrastructure across partner CPOs and do away with the problem of maintaining balance in multiple apps. For example, Statiq Credits can now be seamlessly used across all partner CPOs. Raghav Arora, Co-founder & CTO of 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.”
