Audi Middle East has announced a strategic partnership with CAFU, the on-demand vehicle service provider.

This collaboration seeks to tackle one of the primary challenges in electric vehicle (EV) adoption — charging accessibility — by introducing a mobile electric charging solution designed to ease the transition to electric driving.

The initiative aligns with Audi’s commitment to enhancing customer convenience and satisfaction in the face of growing demand for electric vehicles.

Rene Koneberg, MD of Audi Middle East, emphasised the importance of this collaboration. “Our focus is always on elevating the customer experience by integrating forward-thinking technologies and solutions. This partnership with CAFU reflects our ongoing commitment to overcoming the challenges that come with electric vehicle adoption, particularly around charging accessibility.”

“By working together, we’re offering Audi e-tron owners in the UAE greater convenience and flexibility, making the transition to electric driving smoother and more enjoyable,” Koneberg stated.

Alaa El-Huni, chief business officer of CAFU, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the synergy between the two brands.

“Our mobile EV charging service makes electric vehicle ownership more convenient, aligning perfectly with Audi’s vision of a future that’s defined by seamless, sustainable mobility,” El-Huni said.

Audi works with partners to enhance regional charging network

In addition to the mobile charging service, the automaker is collaborating with partners such as Siemens, Desert Technologies, and the UAE Ministry of Energy & Infrastructure to expand the regional charging network.

The network currently boasts over 100 charging stations, with plans to increase this number to 155 by the end of 2024.

This partnership with CAFU gives e-tron drivers the flexibility to charge their vehicles at home, work, or any chosen location, effectively integrating EV charging into their daily routines
