Shell Oman launches its first mobility hub
The existing station was supplemented with a fast electric charging point to cater for EV owners in the capital.
Shell Oman Marketing Company has launched its first electric vehicle charging hub in Oman, located at Al Bandar Service Station in Seeb. It has supplemented the existing station with a fast electric charging point.
The new Shell Recharge service will enable customers to charge their EVs speedily. The station already features an environmentally sustainable design with built-in solar panels on the Shell Select store.
Along with a comfortable waiting area and the Shell Select convenience store, the site also includes the newest Shell Café, Shell’s own in-house coffee brand, which is being launched in a growing number of countries around the world.
“I’m pleased to be opening the next chapter of Shell’s history in Oman with the introduction of Shell Recharge to our forecourts. We’ve designed the Al Bandar hub to offer an EV charging experience that is as convenient and comfortable as possible. By integrating a Shell Café, we’re also offering drivers the opportunity to recharge themselves as well as their EVs,” said István Kapitány, Global Executive Vice President of Shell Mobility.
“It remains our endeavor to collaborate with the relevant authorities and stakeholders to realise the goals of the National Energy Strategy and accelerate the gradual transition to a lower carbon economy and an energy matrix with lower carbon emissions,” said Dr. Mohammed Al Balushi, CEO, Shell Oman.
While 2021 proved to be a game-changer in EV sales globally, Oman, with a growing choice of new electric car brands, is expected to witness a corresponding growth in the future.
