EVLAB, a UAE-based multi-brand electric vehicle start-up, has launched an all-in-one mobility app aimed at facilitating sustainable living through seamless electric vehicle (EV) solutions. The app serves as a comprehensive marketplace, allowing users to effortlessly engage in EV rentals, leasing, and hosting.
The global EV market is surging, with sales exceeding 10 million in 2022. The share of electric cars in total sales has tripled from 4 percent in 2020 to 14 percent in 2022. In the Middle East, particularly the UAE, the EV market is expected to grow at an annual rate of 30 percent between 2022 and 2028. EVLAB’s app responds to the increasing consumer interest in transitioning to eco-friendly mobility solutions.
Kevin Chalhoub, CEO and founder of EVLAB, expressed the company’s commitment to reducing CO2 emissions and promoting sustainable mobility in the region. The app offers a range of services, allowing users to choose short-term rentals, leases, or host their EVs. Its user-friendly interface simplifies the booking process, offering tabs for renting, leasing, hosting, and communication.
Chalhoub highlighted the app’s role in adapting to the rapidly evolving battery technology. As EV ranges become outdated within a few years due to technological advancements, the model of renting and leasing becomes more appealing than traditional ownership. Users can select their preferred EV based on budget, lifestyle, and performance factors.
The app also plans to introduce services for buying and selling EVs in the region. Users can download the EVLAB app from the official website or app stores, contributing to the company’s mission to reduce emissions and provide accessible and sustainable EV solutions. To date, EVLAB claims to have saved 76,174kg of CO2 and anticipates further reductions through the app.
