TIL Desk Lucknow/ In a significant development aimed at giving an impetus to alternative and cleaner fuel-based green mobility in Lucknow, Statiq, India’s largest EV charging network, has launched a public fast EV charging station at the premises of the city’s popular Fun Republic mall. This installation comes closely on the heels of Statiq setting up a similar charging station at Bareilly, another important town in the state of Uttar Pradesh recently. The charging station is equipped with two DC fast chargers of 60 KW, each single gun that can charge an electric car up to 80% in about 40 minutes only and enables two cars to be charged simultaneously at this station.
“We are indeed delighted to have set up this fast-charging station at the Fun Republic mall in Lucknow. The fact that Fun Republic is a property owned by the iconic Essel Group makes this project a double delight for us. The popularity of the mall, the large footfall and the strategic location makes it the perfect venue for this public fast EV charging station allowing easy and convenient access to quick charging services for the city’s ever-growing EV owners. Recent data has suggested that the state of UP is not only one of the fastest-growing EV markets but also has the largest number of EVs in the country,” said Mr. Irfan Kawoosa, Head of Investor & Franchise Relations, Statiq.
“We are also mindful of the government’s pledge to make UP the first Indian state with 100% EVs for its government departments in the coming years. And since Lucknow is the capital city and the seat of the government, there would certainly be huge demand for EV charging services in the coming years. To that extent, it gives us great satisfaction in being in sync with the vision and objectives of the government,” added Mr. Kawoosa.
“Fun Republic mall is a hugely popular destination for the city’s entertainment. Whether it is for food or shopping, or just plain outing with friends and loved ones for an easy and relaxing day, people of Lucknow come in droves to this mall which is throbbing with activity right through the week including week days. The establishment of the charging station by Statiq, a leading name in the charging business, would give visitors and EV owners easy access to instant charging services. The popularity of the mall makes it a suitable place for the ev charging station, said Mr. Girish Pandey, Consultant and Head, Fun Republic Mall, Lucknow.
