Dubai developer Nakheel said its integrated customer-centric community management arm, Nakheel Community Management, has signed an agreement with Etisalat Services Holding, e& for the installation of Electrical Vehicle (EV) chargers across a range of its communities.
The agreement provides the services of Etisalat EV charging stations across the Nakheel Communities.
The Etisalat service holding company will charge end users based on the services provided by EV charging stations during the six months Proof of Concept (POC).
The agreement was signed by Francis Giani, Chief Community Officer at Nakheel and Muammar Nasir Al Rukhaimi, CEO of Etisalat Services Holding, in the presence of senior personnel from both companies.
Giani said through this partnership Nakheel was committed in enriching consumer value propositions and creating new consumer benefits across its communities.
Al Rukaimi pointed out that partnering with Nakheel Community Management had been a natural choice for its EV solutions business 'Charge&go', as their diverse and expansive communities provide ideal locations for the world leading EV charging stations.
"We look forward to the roll out of the EV chargers and the positive impact they will bring to users," he added.
There are currently five electric vehicles overall, with specific vehicles assigned to Palm Jumeirah Community, JVC Community, Galleries, and District One Community.
The cars assigned to NCM are also used for patrolling and community missions. Additionally, the teams are using EV as a standard pool car for everyday site operations, emergency responses, and site visits. NCM has installed designated charging facilities for the fleet, which are located in District One and Palm Jumeirah (Nakheel Mall).
After the six-month POC period, there is potential for further roll out of the EV charging stations across further Nakheel communities.
The Nakheel communities that will benefit from the initial six-month period are Palm Tower, Palm West, Palm East, Masakin Al Furjan and Discovery Gardens.
The vehicles will significantly lessen air pollution and enhance the quality of the air. The MoU also underlines Nakheel’s value of “We Serve”, by always providing the best service possible to their customers and driving innovation in their communities.-TradeArabia News Service
