Jordan’s initiative to promote the use of electric vehicles (EVs) has taken a significant step forward with the launch of a new mobile app by the Energy and Minerals Regulatory Commission. Aimed primarily at EV owners, the app serves as a digital co-pilot, providing a range of tools and resources that facilitate an enhanced driving and ownership experience.
The foremost advantage of the app is its real-time data provision. Users have immediate access to a comprehensive map of licensed public electric vehicle charging stations across the Kingdom. This feature delivers essential information about each station, such as the availability, type, and speed of chargers, whether they are fast or slow. This instant accessibility addresses one of the primary concerns of EV drivers: range anxiety. By being able to plan routes with charging options in sight, drivers can comfortably travel longer distances knowing they have the power they need within reach.
Moreover, the integration with Google Maps ensures a seamless navigation experience. Drivers can simply select a charging station on the app and receive turn-by-turn directions, integrating their charging needs into their normal driving routines without the stress of finding a compatible station.
Engineer Ziad Al-Sa’aydeh, the Chairman of the Energy and Minerals Regulatory Commission, not only highlighted the app’s contribution to convenience but also assured that the quality of charging services remains a priority. The commission’s inspections of various charging stations attest to a commitment to regulatory compliance and operational efficiency. If a driver encounters any problems or has inquiries, the Commission’s Monitoring and Emergency Center is ready to assist around the clock.
In a nutshell, Jordan’s new EV charging app clearly prioritizes consumer needs. It addresses key concerns such as charge availability, ease of access, navigation, support services, and regulatory compliance—all of which collectively enhance the overall driver experience for EV owners in the Kingdom.
