BMW AGMC – in collaboration with Dubai Autodrome, a subsidiary of Union Properties – has announced the installation of 20 Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations at the UAE’s first fully integrated multipurpose motorsport and entertainment facility.
AGMC is the exclusive importer for BMW Group in Dubai, Sharjah and the Northern Emirates.
The charging stations aim to cater to the e-mobility fleet of BMW cars deployed for use at the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference, being held in the UAE.
BMW AGMC customers will have continued access to charging facilities after COP28 ends. All 20 EV charging stations are powered by Dubai Autodrome’s 2.8 MWp solar power project.
Ayhan Olcer, Managing Director of Albatha Automotive Group – the parent company of AGMC, commented: “The 20 EV charging stations newly installed at Dubai Autodrome will help accelerate the transition to emission-free mobility in the UAE. Our vision for sustainability drives this initiative, which furthers our commitment to providing eco-conscious solutions for cleaner and greener transportation.”
The new charging stations at Dubai Autodrome are an addition to BMW AGMC’s Destination Chargers project, which launched in 2023. It aims to build an extensive network of EV chargers throughout the UAE, and has successfully installed over 100 EV chargers this year alone.
More such installations are scheduled for 2024.
Faisal Al Sahlawi, General Manager of Dubai Autodrome, said: “Dubai Autodrome is proud to join hands with BMW AGMC in promoting sustainable mobility infrastructure in the UAE. The charging stations will not only serve electric vehicle owners in the country but also positions Dubai Autodrome as a venue that provides world-class motorsport facilities along with promoting sustainability in the automotive industry. It also creates an opportunity for us to serve a wider demographic of automobile owners apart from our regular patrons.”
