We are introducing cutting-edge innovations such as electric vehicle and plug-in hybrid charging technology (EV & PHEV Charger), combined with AP's expertise in space utilization and attention to the urban lifestyle that demands convenience, to create the 'AP Charging Pod' electric vehicle and plug-in hybrid charging stations. The chargers will provide AC charging heads in both Type I and Type II within a single unit, allowing AP residents to charge easily and quickly through a single mobile application that can locate charging stations, fulfilling every aspect of urban living, managed by Smart Service and Management Co., Ltd., a property management company under AP. The first phase of the network will cover six AP condominiums, including VITTORIO (Sukhumvit 39), RHYTHM Rangsit, RHYTHM Ekkamai, LIFE Pinklao, LIFE Asoke, and LIFE Sukhumvit 48, with plans to expand to other projects in the future,” Mr. Witakarn concluded.

        Currently, the ChargeNow project operates over 65,000 public charging stations for plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles across 27 countries worldwide. In Thailand, the ChargeNow electric vehicle charging station network will be displayed through the Greenlots application, allowing customers to know which stations are available or in use, all within a single application, making electric vehicle charging more convenient, easy, and faster.

The ChargeNow project is now open for pre-registration for owners of plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles with AC charging heads, both Type 1 (SAE J1772) and Type 2 (IEC 62196), regardless of model or brand at http://chargenow-th-en.greenlots.com.
