In a significant development for EV users in Bareilly, Statiq, India’s largest EV charging network, has launched a Public Fast EV charging station at the premises of the city’s popular hotel Ramada Encore by Wyndham located at the Civil Lines. The initiative will add to the ongoing and larger drive for increased EV usage in the state of Uttar Pradesh and indeed all over India. At the same time, it will also complement the UP government’s ongoing efforts towards promoting green mobility in the state.

This charging station is equipped with two DC chargers of 60KW, each single gun enables to charge electric cars up to 80% in about 40 minutes only and two AC chargers of 3.3 KW each, providing both fast and slow charging services. All types of four-wheelers and two-wheelers with different EV technologies can be charged at this station.

“As a leading smart city, smart and renewable mobility options along with the supporting infrastructure must be made available for the people of the city. This becomes even more pressing due to the city often being identified as one of the most polluted in the state. So, keeping all that in mind, we are indeed delighted to have partnered with Ramada by Wyndham for setting up this charging station at their property in Bareilly. With this move, we also wish to strengthen the hands of the UP government which has embarked on a commendable path to promote EV usage as a part of their broader Comprehensive Electric Mobility Plan in the state. At the same time, we are also planning to build on this partnership with Ramada Group and would install more such charging stations at their properties across the country in the coming future,” said Navdeep Sinver, Lead- Projects, Statiq.

“Ramada Bareilly is the Pioneer hotel in Bareilly to have EV charging station and we are committed to reducing carbon footprints and under their Wyndham Green Program, Ramada Encore by Wyndham Bareilly Civil Lines has become the very first hotel in Bareilly which have EV Charging facility in town. To promote and facilitate existing EV customers we are offering 10% discount on our F&B services by using EV Charging facility at our hotel,” said Manish Dutt, General Manager, Ramada Encore by Wyndham, Bareilly.

In recent weeks, the UP government has instituted a comprehensive EV policy setting out guidelines for land lease and revenue-sharing models along with incentive mechanisms for both government and private players with a view to ramping up EV charging infrastructure within the state.
