Statements from Leaders
Mohammad Bakr Gazzaz, CEO of EVIQ, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, highlighting its potential to expand Saudi Arabia’s EV infrastructure. “Our partnership with Red Sea Global is a pivotal development in our mission to expand the EV infrastructure in Saudi Arabia. Through this collaboration, we are not only advancing the availability of EV charging solutions but also ensuring that they meet the highest standards of quality and efficiency.”
John Pagano, Group CEO of Red Sea Global, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the goal of providing a seamless and stylish travel experience while pursuing carbon neutrality. “We are already the owner and operator of the largest off-grid EV charging network in Saudi Arabia, but it’s not in our nature to be satisfied with this achievement. That is why we’re excited by this collaboration with EVIQ, which moves us another step forward in our commitment to provide guests with a seamless and stylish travel experience while pursuing our goal of carbon neutrality.”
Current and Future Projects
The Red Sea destination, which started welcoming guests in 2023, has already integrated EV infrastructure as part of its offerings. The destination features three hotels and the Red Sea International Airport (RSI), which began international flights in April 2024. Future projects, including the AMAALA destination set to welcome its first guests in 2025 and the Thuwal Private Retreat opening this year, are expected to follow suit, further solidifying RSG’s leadership in sustainable tourism development.
Future Projects
This strategic initiative between EVIQ and RSG is a monumental stride towards a greener future for Saudi Arabia. By fostering innovation and sustainability, both organizations are poised to meet and exceed the expectations of eco-conscious travelers, ultimately driving a more sustainable and prosperous future for the region. This partnership exemplifies how responsible development can uplift communities, drive economies, and enhance the environment, setting a new standard for sustainable luxury tourism.
