Following the official launch of Tesla in the UAE last week, Mall of the Emirates has installed nine Tesla charging stations to keep the first adopters of the brand of electric vehicles topped up.

Located at the Fashion Dome Valet Parking and on the first and second floors at Mall of the Emirates, the Tesla charging stations can add up to 100km of range to a Tesla vehicle per hour of charge.

“Majid Al Futtaim is proud to offer the first generation of Tesla drivers Dubai’s largest cluster of charging stations at its central and conveniently located flagship mall: Mall of the Emirates,” said Fuad Mansoor Sharaf, MD for retail properties in the East region at Majid Al Futtaim.

“Innovation and sustainability are part of the core values of the retail pioneer and we are excited to offer our visitors another new and bold experience, in line with our vision to create great moments, for everyone every day.”

Hotels have been identified as among the most appropriate locations for the installation of electric vehicle charging stations in Dubai, along with the airport, shopping malls, petrol stations, parking areas and developers' locations, industry stakeholders say.
