EVLAB, the multi-brand electric vehicle start-up, has introduced an all-in-one mobility app to rent, lease and host their EVs in the UAE.
A second phase of the roll-out will include the ability to buy and sell electric vehicles (EVs) in the Middle East.
EVLAB says its new one-stop marketplace app addresses a growing desire among consumers in the Middle East to make a switch to sustainable mobility solutions.
Electric vehicle sales have seen a rapid growth in the region, with an increase of 72 percent during 2020 alone, according to the firm.
The new platform is said to support the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 strategic initiative, which is a national drive to achieve net-zero emissions and make the Emirates the first nation in the MENA region to do so.
The EVLAB App allows eco-conscious drivers to browse a unique collection of electric vehicle brands available in the Middle East and take advantage of EVLAB’s expertise to understand the benefits of electric vehicles and make a seamless transition to sustainable transportation.
Drivers can consider short-term rentals, leasing or hosting their electric vehicles through a seamless and hassle-free user journey. The booking process is straightforward with easy navigation using the rent, lease, host and chat tabs on the homepage. Users can filter options based on brand preferences and features, such as performance and range, to save time and effort in finding an electric vehicle that suits their requirements and budget.
All the listed cars and their hosts are vetted to guarantee authenticity and quality of service by the owners. In phase 2, electric vehicle owners can also conveniently sell their vehicles on the platform with guidance from EVLAB’s experts at every step of the way.
“With the accelerated pace of climate change, the adoption and transition to e-mobility is inevitable. At EVLAB, our ongoing goal is to consistently reduce emissions, and we are proud to say that we have successfully saved a cumulative total of 76,174 kilograms of CO2 to date and will further reduce with the EVLAB app,” claimed Kevin Chalhoub, CEO and Founder of EVLAB.
“The all-in-one EVLAB App complements our EVLAB website with a broader range of functionality and services to make the eco-mobility journey easier for drivers in the region. The app allows users to rent, lease and host their electric vehicles seamlessly in a safe and trusted marketplace. As battery technology is rapidly evolving, the range of electric vehicles today will become obsolete in two to three years, so this model of renting and leasing becomes more attractive than buying.
“Consumers will have the additional ease of choosing their preferred electric vehicle based on their budget and lifestyle by selecting from a variety of options, including performance, acceleration, range, and charging times.”
