Statiq Charging Network: Coverage, Pricing & Speeds

Statiq is a Delhi-NCR-born charging network that punches above its size on DC fast charging. On Wattway's live map as of August 2026, the Statiq charging network shows 673 stations across 174 cities. That is smaller than ChargeZone or Tata Power. But 1,431 of its 2,008 mapped guns are DC — the highest DC share of any large network we track. Fewer pins. More fast ones. That single fact explains most of what it is like to live with Statiq.

Who is Statiq?

Statiq was started in 2019 by Akshit Bansal and Raghav Arora, childhood friends who incorporated the company in January 2020 and based it in Gurugram. It went through Y Combinator's Summer 2020 batch. Since then it has raised a YC seed, a $25.7M Series A co-led by Shell Ventures in 2022, and an $18M equity-and-debt round in February 2026 led by Tenacity Ventures. Both founders made Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia in 2024.

Here is the part most guides miss. Statiq runs a hybrid model. It builds and operates its own DC hardware, and it also aggregates other operators' chargers into one app, one map and one payment layer. That is conceptually the same job Wattway does — except Statiq is a network first and an aggregator second, so its app shows you Statiq's world. We show you everyone's.

Where is the Statiq charging network strongest?

Delhi-NCR first, highways second. The Gurugram home base shows clearly in our data — a large block of Statiq entries on our map sit in NCR. Beyond that, the verified footprint spreads thin but wide across the big EV states.

• Delhi-NCR: the core. Densest cluster, and where Statiq has been operating longest.
• Karnataka: 55 stations on Wattway's map — the joint-largest verified state count.
• Haryana: 55 stations, consistent with the Gurugram base spilling outward.
• Rajasthan: 34 stations, mostly on the Delhi-Jaipur-onward corridor.
• Uttar Pradesh: 31 stations.

Two corridor projects are worth watching. Statiq won a BPCL tender in July 2024 to integrate roughly 2,800 BPCL chargers — about 2,000 AC and 800 DC — into its network. And in November 2025 it announced a collaboration with the BMW Group to build a brand-agnostic 4,000 km high-speed corridor from Jammu to Madurai. Neither has a public station-by-station completion list yet, so treat both as promising rather than done.

What charging speeds does Statiq actually deliver?

Per Statiq's own product pages, its DC line is configurable from 60 kW up to 360 kW. The widely deployed unit is the 60 kW 'Statiq Canvas', and 120 kW DC hardware shows up commonly at hub-style locations in Statiq's own station listings. Standard AC charging is also deployed widely.

In practice, plan for 60 kW as your baseline and treat 120 kW as a bonus you confirm before you commit. A 60 kW gun on a 50 kWh pack is roughly a 45-minute coffee stop for 20 to 80 percent, assuming your car can take the full rate and the site is not sharing power between two guns. Check the gun rating on the station card, not the network name.

What does Statiq charging cost in 2026?

Statiq runs pay-as-you-go plus optional paid tiers. We could not fetch Statiq's live tariff page directly during research, so the numbers below come from 2025-2026 secondary coverage. Treat them as indicative — as of August 2026, confirm in the app before you plug in.

Two honest caveats. First, Indian DISCOM tariffs and electricity duty vary by state, so a flat national ₹/kWh is a simplification. Second, because Statiq aggregates third-party operators into its app, a station you find there may carry the host operator's own pricing rather than a Statiq rate. On idle or overstay fees we found no confirmed public policy — there is forum chatter about a service fee, but no verified amount or trigger. We will not invent one. Read the receipt.

How does Statiq compare to ChargeZone, Tata Power and Zeon?

All figures below are from Wattway's live map as of August 2026 — what we have independently verified as live and public. These are not the networks' official totals, which are usually higher because they count ports, private sites and not-yet-live hardware.

Read that table sideways and Statiq's shape appears. It has roughly a quarter of Tata Power's mapped locations but about 70 percent as many DC guns. Tata Power is AC-destination-heavy — brilliant if you park for three hours at a mall. Statiq skews the other way. ChargeZone is the volume leader nationally, Zeon is a South-India highway specialist. Statiq is the North-and-NCR DC specialist. Different tools, same toolbox.

Is Statiq reliable?

Middling-to-decent, and honestly that is not a criticism in the Indian context. On Team-BHP, Statiq sits on the list of apps BHPians actually prefer, alongside Zeon. Road-trip writeups also mention hitting the occasional dead Statiq-linked charger — which is a documented pattern across virtually every Indian network, not a Statiq disease.

App-store sentiment is genuinely split. Some users report months of flawless sessions and call it easy to use. Others, including in 2026, report failed payments, refunds dragging past two months, unresponsive charger support, and the in-app map failing to load stations. We could not pull a verified live star rating during research, so we are not quoting one. No large-scale uptime study exists for any Indian network, Statiq included, so treat all reliability talk here as anecdote-grade.

“Having a charger listed does not mean it will actually charge. That is true of every network in India, and it is exactly the gap an aggregator exists to close.”

— Wattway

Statiq's app, or finding Statiq on Wattway?

Use both. They are not the same tool. You will need the Statiq app to actually start a session and pay — that is the network's own rails, and there is no way around it. What Wattway changes is everything that happens before you commit to driving there.

1. 1

   Plan on Wattway, start on Statiq

   See Statiq next to ChargeZone, Tata Power, Zeon and 330-odd other networks on one map, pick the best option, then open Statiq's app at the gun.
2. 2

   Filter by what the car needs

   Filter to CCS2 and DC-only and Statiq's fast sites separate from the AC noise instantly. That is where its 71% DC share pays off.
3. 3

   Always carry a plan B

   On a highway run, the useful question is not 'is there a Statiq here' but 'what else is within 15 km if this one is down'. A single-network app cannot answer that. Ours can.
4. 4

   Trust the live dot, then trust the crowd

   Statiq's app has a Charger Health Engine and live status, and Google Maps has carried Statiq real-time availability since 2024. Cross-check against recent owner check-ins before a long detour.

Who is Statiq best for?

• Delhi-NCR daily drivers. This is home turf, the density is real, and the DC bias suits short top-ups.
• North-India highway runs, especially Delhi outward toward Jaipur and the UP corridors.
• Drivers who want fast over convenient. If you would rather do 40 minutes at 60 kW than three hours on AC, Statiq's mix fits you better than an AC-heavy network.
• Frequent chargers who can do the maths. ₹149/month for a flat 10% off pays back if you are pulling meaningful kWh from Statiq every month. If you charge mostly at home, skip it.

Who it is less ideal for: anyone whose driving is mostly South or West India, where Zeon, chargeMOD and ChargeZone simply have more verified pins on our map. And anyone doing long unfamiliar routes on a single app — for that, no network alone is enough, Statiq included.

A last note on numbers, because this is where network guides usually go wrong. Statiq's own marketing has moved from around 600 stations in 40 cities in 2021 to 10,000-plus chargers across 1,014-plus cities in 2026. Those are self-reported charger and port counts, not audited unique public sites, and they likely fold in AC units, private installations, and BPCL-tender hardware not yet live. Our 673 is a different measurement — independently verified, public, live. Both can be true. Just do not compare them as if they mean the same thing.
