Audi Oman announces launch of interconne­cted electric vehicles chargers

-

To provide a hassle-free ownership experience to new Audi EV owners, Audi Oman, represente­d by Premium Motors has partnered with EVO to launch

Oman’s largest network of interconne­cted electric vehicles chargers.

The Omani landscape is unique in its scale and widespread developmen­t and requires a robust EV infrastruc­ture in order to attend to the mainstream adoption of electric vehicles. This is one of the main challenges faced by electric vehicle customers today.

Audi Oman understand­s these challenges and has taken a proactive stance to partner with

EVO and develop a robust network that can both support the adoption of electric vehicles in Oman as well as provide Audi EV owners with a seamless and hassle-free experience.

Under the patronage of H E Saeed bin Hamood al Mawali, Minister of Transport, Communicat­ion, and Informatio­n Technology, and in line with Oman’s net-zero 2050 commitment and the Sultanate’s drive towards a greener tomorrow, Audi Oman and EVO have unveiled the first

of a series of public electric vehicle chargers at a special event held at the Oman Automobile Associatio­n.

Audi Oman and EVO are planning to install over 70 chargers across Oman before the end

of 2022 and will further expand this network to over 250 charging points by the end of 2023.

Additional­ly, the EVO app which is scheduled to launch in December 2022 will provide Audi EV users with a wide range of exclusive services geared at facilitati­ng their transition to emobility. EVO and Audi ensure

the most advanced suite of services in the region.

The e-tron Sportback launched in Oman earlier this year is a symbol of EV readiness in the nation. The launch of the battery-powered luxury crossover along with the robust charging network will further complement Audi’s offerings and cement its position as the leader in the EV marketspac­e in Oman.

Christian Nehme, General Manager of Premium Motors

Oman, said, “We believe our commitment to developing EV infrastruc­ture in Oman will greatly contribute to Audi’s overall sustainabi­lity strategy.

The charging process is fundamenta­l to the everyday usability of an EV.

“We are happy to introduce a series of new charging points which we are sure will add to the convenienc­e of owning a pre

mium state-of-the-art EV such as the e-tron Sportback.

Our commitment goes beyond simply delivering classleadi­ng products, we strive to go the extra mile and guarantee

that our customers have an enjoyable and trouble-free experience.”

EVO is Oman’s leading electric vehicle charging supplier, providing charging solutions for owners and businesses across the Sultanate.

A spokespers­on for EVO said, “We are proud to work with a brand like Audi and are very

thrilled with the partnershi­p that we have formed with Premium

Motors through our shared vision of a more sustainabl­e and environmen­tally conscious future. This launch signifies the first step in a journey towards a

net-zero future and will greatly contribute towards the widescale adoption of electric vehicles in Oman.

“Audi and Premium Motors have proven to be at the forefront of the vision for an electrifie­d future and we are very excited to be embarking on this

journey with them.”
