Auto Gallery Launches Electric Vehicle Charging Station Network in Armenia with New Business Model
YEREVAN, April 9. /ARKA/. Auto Gallery is introducing a new sub-brand, "Auto Gallery Recharge," aimed at enhancing its network of electric vehicle charging stations across Armenia. Customers who acquire vehicles from the Auto Gallery dealership after April 10 will have the opportunity to utilize the station at no cost, as stated by the company's founder and director, Gevorg Gevorgyan.
"We are launching a new sub-brand, 'Auto Gallery Recharge,' which will address the challenges of electric vehicle charging throughout Armenia. Additionally, Auto Gallery customers who buy electric vehicles after April 10 will be able to charge them entirely free of charge within the company's network during the warranty period, enjoying all associated benefits. These advantages will be applicable for 5 years for commercial vehicles and 6 years for passenger cars. This initiative aims to provide complete comfort and instill confidence in our customers' travels," Gevorgyan remarked.
The charging stations will feature a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), ensuring consistent and dependable charging irrespective of network demand. In the initial phase, set for 2026, the company plans to establish around 90 fast charging stations with a capacity of 160 kW. This figure is anticipated to double by 2027.
A significant aspect of the network will be its extensive geographic reach: stations will be situated not only in Yerevan but also throughout Armenia, including cities such as Dilijan, Gyumri, Aparan, Vanadzor, Sisian, Kapan, Armavir, and Martuni, as well as along the North-South Highway.
"Each station will be reachable within a 50 km radius, enabling drivers to travel seamlessly between cities and regions. The objective is to construct stations capable of charging 8 to 20 vehicles simultaneously to reduce waiting times and maximize convenience for customers," Gevorgyan further explained.
Auto Gallery customers who previously purchased cars will be able to use the network, paying electricity rates established in Armenia. Owners of electric vehicles from other brands will also be able to use the network. The program launches today, and the first station is scheduled to open in July.
Auto Gallery CJSC was founded in 2023 and is managed by a team with ten years of experience. Auto Gallery is the official representative of the IM Motors and Saic Maxus brands, as well as CATL and Scania in Armenia.-0-
