Yousif Khamis Al Othmani, Chairman of SRTA, said the project would cater to the growing number of EV users while reinforcing the authority’s commitment to advancing electric mobility in line with global sustainability goals and efforts to reduce carbon emissions.
He added that the project would be implemented in coordination with Sharjah Electricity, Water and Gas Authority to ensure delivery in line with the highest quality standards and within the agreed timeframe.
ION will also provide an integrated mobile application enabling users to locate nearby chargers, monitor charging in real time and complete payments seamlessly.
