Statiq and GLIDA (formerly known as Fortum Charge & Drive India), the two players in Indian Electric Vehicle (EV) charging service, have partnered to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles across the country. Through the partnership, all public chargers under the GLIDA charging network can now be used through Static 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 interoperability between Statiq and GLIDA charging stations enabling wide network access by omitting multi-app usage needs for charging and connectivity. GLIDA Chargers shall continue to be accessed through GLIDA App and Charge-Thru (an app weblink solution designed for the ease of EV users).

Speaking on the collaboration, 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. 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 (CPOs) to help new and existing EV users access reliable charging infrastructures 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. This commitment ensures that users have access to a diverse and interconnected charging infrastructure.

Awadhesh Kumar Jha, Executive Director, GLIDA, said, “This collaboration opens newer avenues for users to seamlessly discover, access and conveniently experience charging on GLIDA’s pan-India network facilitated through the Statiq App as well besides its own App and App agnostic Charge-Thru. We believe in the power of collaboration and co-creation to offer high-value service propositions to the customers. This initiative further fortifies GLIDA’s vision of electrifying mobility in India by investing in smart and innovative solutions today for a cleaner tomorrow. ”

With 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, emphasizing on the importance of collaboration in advancing sustainable mobility solutions, a media statement from the firms said.
