Doha, Qatar: Hamad International Airport (DOH) has announced that the 1st Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations for the public have been installed at the ground level of the Airport's East car park.

According to its press release, Hamad International Airport said that this development was achieved thanks to a collaboration with the Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation "KAHRAMAA" under the National Program for Conservation and Energy Efficiency, 'Tarsheed'.

It added that this joint effort supports the Qatar National Vision 2030 goal of reducing the country's carbon emissions by 25 percent.

The new fast charger can serve two vehicles simultaneously, delivering up to 50 kW of power and provides approximately 125 kilometers of driving range in just 30 minutes.

Integrated with the Tarsheed Smart EV mobile app, the application enables drivers to locate charging points, check real-time status, start or stop charging sessions remotely, and track electricity usage.
