Motor launches electric car-sharing platform in the UAE

Motor, the electric vehicle car-sharing platform, has been launched in the UAE which provides access to electric vehicles (EVs) through its app, Motor Share. The app offers users short and long-term options at affordable prices. Customers can rent a vehicle by the hour or for up to two years.

UAE residents may find and hire electric vehicles, which include the Tesla Model 3 and, shortly, the Tesla Model Y, as well as those from other manufacturers, by registering on the Motor Share app.

The platform offers benefits including complimentary parking in all RTA public locations aross Dubai, cost-free EV charging, comprehensive insurance, and reasonable rates. Other features include the option to cool the car ahead and during rides. Additional artificial intelligence features will also soon be rolled out, including a ‘safety score’, which will reward safe drivers and warn drivers at risk.

Hamad AlMazrooei, co-founder of Motor, said: “As the UAE moves towards reinforcing its resolve to fight climate change through the ambitious ‘UAE Net Zero 2050’, more and more businesses and residents are looking to convert to electric vehicles. Our goal at MOTOR is not only to further accelerate the sustainable transition to EVs, but we also want to make sustainable mobility more accessible, affordable, and flexible.”

Following the launch of its EV sharing platform, Motor aims to roll out its EV subscription service and a charging network by the end of 2022. Moreover, the platform plans to roll out a sustainable driving award points system aimed at unlocking rides and discounts.
