Kahramaa, Woqod ink pact to install 37 EV charging units at fuel stations

THE Qatar Electricity and Water Corporation (Kahramaa) and Qatar Fuel (Woqod) signed an agreement on Wednesday to supply, install and operate 37 charging units for electric vehicles (EV) at WOQOD stations distributed over 22 sites in the country. The agreement was signed by Eng. Essa bin Hilal Al Kuwari, President of Kahramaa, and Eng. Saad Rashid Al Muhannadi, CEO of WOQOD.

The charging units are ultra-fast and highly efficient. A car can be fully charged in less than half an hour.

In a statement, Al Kuwari said the signing of the agreement comes within the many initiatives undertaken by Kahramaa to establish and expand the electric charging network for cars, in response to the strategy adopted by the Ministry of Transport in this regard.

He explained that the charging stations have been installed to encourage people to use electric cars, which will reduce carbon emissions.
