(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, Abu Dhabi, has installed four Tesla 'destination charging' connectors in a groundbreaking 'green' initiative.
Free to use, the facilities are available to all members of the public, residents and whether or not they are guests of the hotel.
"We are delighted to launch this charging station, which will enable us to serve the growing number of motorists who choose electric vehicles," said Marwan Fadel, hotel manager of The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, Abu Dhabi.
"As a forward-thinking property, we always strive to reduce our environmental impact, and adopting the latest technology can help us achieve our goals," said Fadel, adding that the hotel's parent company, Abu Dhabi United Hospitality, is also instrumental of the scheme.
The resort's underground car park has been equipped with 12 charging points -- four Tesla charging stations and a further eight 'universal' ones, compatible with other brands. Drivers may enter the resort freely to use the facilities.
The move reflects a growing interest in electric vehicles in the UAE which has seen at least five major automotive firms enter the market within the past two years.
