In this episode of One Big Podcast, Nikhil Chawla speaks to Statiq founder Akshit Bansal about the infrastructure, economics and technology behind India’s shift to electric mobility. Bansal discusses why charging infrastructure needs to grow alongside EV adoption, what makes a charging network reliable, and why India cannot wait for its electricity system to become completely green before electrifying transport. The conversation explores the economics of public charging and EV ownership, interoperability between charging networks, and the development of India’s domestic EV supply chain. Bansal also reflects on what India can learn from China’s ability to build infrastructure and scale new technologies.
