Sixteen new Tesla chargers have been installed at Yas Mall and Yas Island theme parks, following the February announcement of Tesla Model S and X vehicles in the UAE.
The chargers complement four others - by BMW and Mercedes - at Yas Mall, and two electric vehicle-charging stations available at other key locations on the island. There are now a total of 22 charging stations across five locations to help ensure that electric vehicle operators can remain fully powered-up.
The development also comes ahead of the arrival of the Tesla Model 3, which is due to launch at the end of the month. "By consistently expanding our ease of accessibility and transportation options, we aim to create a smooth, memorable and facilitated experience, 365 days of the year," said Gerardo Llanes, executive director of Yas Island Destination Management. "With the recent additions, Yas Island is now home to Abu Dhabi's largest cluster of charging stations. This reinforces Yas Island's status as a world-class destination that is aligned with its visitors' needs and demands, as well as the UAE's long-term vision 2021 for Sustainable Environment and Infrastructure."
The new Tesla chargers, are reserved exclusively for zero-emission electric cars and are available to use free of charge during the opening hours of the parks. Electric cars can achieve a full-charge within approximately 30 minutes, meaning that visitors can enjoy their time on Yas Island with peace of mind, no matter how short or long their stay.
Yas Island's two theme parks have installed three chargers each, which are located outside their main entrances. This includes one for UAE/EU Tesla vehicles, one for North American Tesla vehicles and one for any vehicle manufactured to the EU Electric vehicle standards. These new chargers follow Yas Mall's 10 Tesla electric chargers - seven of which are compatible with all types of electric vehicles. This is in addition to two Mercedes B Class Electric Drive chargers, two BMW I Wallbox Pro chargers, one Tesla charger at the Yas Viceroy Hotel, and one electric vehicle charger at the ADNOC service station on Yas Island.
Island visitors can also drive home in a brand-new Tesla model S 90kWh Dual Motor QTST this summer, as part of the annual eid-to-eid "Say Yas" spend and win campaign, which runs until September 9.
