First Dedicated Grab EV Charging Station Opens Near Suvarnabhumi Airport
SHARGE, Grab Thailand, and Bangchak Corporation have launched the first dedicated EV charging station for Grab drivers at the Bangchak King Kaew service station.
According to a report by Khaosod Online, SHARGE Management, in collaboration with Grab Thailand and Bangchak Corporation, has inaugurated the first 'Grab EV' charging station in Thailand. Located at the Bangchak King Kaew service station, the facility is strategically positioned just five minutes from Suvarnabhumi Airport to support drivers operating in the vicinity.
The station is designed to accommodate up to 700 electric vehicles per day, regardless of the vehicle brand. As part of the initiative, Grab drivers are offered a special charging rate of 6 baht per kilowatt-hour (kWh). Peerapat Sirichantaropas, CEO of SHARGE, stated that this site serves as a pilot project under a broader roadmap aimed at expanding EV charging infrastructure for Grab drivers nationwide.
For residents and travelers, this development signals a growing commitment to electric vehicle infrastructure in high-traffic areas, potentially leading to more sustainable transport options for airport transfers. While this pilot station is now operational, further details regarding the specific timeline for the nationwide rollout of additional stations remain to be confirmed by the involved companies. The project highlights the ongoing integration of EV technology into Thailand's ride-hailing sector.
