3 4 4 5 Messages from our Sponsors Leaders of the electric vehicle revolution in the Middle East Sharing a common mission and passion with the Global EVRT team, we were delighted with the public s reception of the Chevrolet Bolt EV. We at Chevrolet, are committed to playing a major role in the next chapter of the Middle East electrification story. This Electric Vehicle Road Trip was the perfect way to give the public a chance to get behind the wheel of the Chevrolet Bolt EV and experience it for the very first time. The EVRT Middle East has established its legacy and we are very proud of our involvement. We will carry this common message forward to accelerate the adoption of Electric Vehicle in this market and beyond. Molly Peck Chief Marketing Officer, General Motors Middle East Electric Vehicles are definitely the future, it s not an if it s a when. The EVRT Middle East provides great focus for our hotels to start installing electric vehicle chargers in an area which is growing in terms of its adoption of electric vehicles. Being the first hotel company to have charging stations in Sohar and Muscat is fantastic for us and for our customers. The idea is they come to our hotel to recharge their personal batteries but equally their car battery as well. Adrian White Head of Global Partnerships for IHG We firmly believe in an EV future, Since the early planning phase of The Sustainable City we considered clean mobility as one of the essentials solutions in our strategy to shape this model of future cities. We share a similar mission with the Global EVRT, and this event gives us an ideal platform to engage with different stakeholders, discuss latest innovations, and give the residents and the public a first-hand experience of zero emissions transportation. Karim El Jisr Executive Director, SEE NEXUS Institute Emirates NBD are committed to help transform our nation into a green, low-carbon economy in support of the sustainability agenda of UAE Vision For the second year running, the EVRT Middle East was a great platform for us to showcase our green auto loan product and help businesses and consumers buying electric vehicles Sachin Chandna Vice President Head of Personal Loans, Auto Loans and Overdraft

5 8 8 9 The longest electric vehicle road trip in the GCC! EVRT Middle East January 2018 KEY EV Test Drives Charging Station Opening Ceremonies The Electric Vehicle Road Trip Middle East launched from Abu Dhabi at Masdar s World Future Energy Summit on 18th January 2018 before driving for 9 days across the UAE and Oman, reaching Muscat and stopping in Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah and finishing at The Sustainable City in Dubai. Along the way 18 new charging points were built with GreenParking and IHG Hotels, and a number of unique events that engaged the public, industry, government and the media, making history in the Middle East! Engagement Event 9 Day electric vehicle road trip 2 Countries 2,000 km travelled 18 Charging points launched* 60+ Road trip participants 250+ Test drives and experiences given GULF ABU DHABI START RAS AL-KHAIMAH DUBAI FINISH FUJAIRAH SOHAR GULF OF OMAN As part of the EVRT Middle East 2018, we have inaugurated: - The Mobility Conference (At The World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi) MADINAT ZAYED UNITED ARAB EMIRATES OMAN MUSCAT - The Future Mobility Roundtable in Muscat - The EV vs Petrol car drag race in Ras Al Khaimah - The e-mobility Showcasing Day at The Sustainable City in Dubai (Including the first Sustainable Marketplace in Dubai) At the time of print an additional 8 charging points have, or will be, built as a result of our event *

6 Key Findings Across the two countries, from government, industry and the public, we found a resounding sense of positivity towards electric vehicles and an awareness of their inevitability in playing a part in the future of our mobility systems. Sultanate of Oman We found that there was very little knowledge of electric vehicles, from the public as well as industry, however there is a clear eagerness to embrace this technology, especially from the government. The key stakeholders from industry and government very quickly responded to our announcement of driving to Oman for the road trip and we gained incredible support and partnerships, most notably from Nama Group, the holding company of the electricity company in Oman. We were also welcomed and supported by Riyada, the public authority on SME.. We surpassed our target of attendees to our roundtable in Muscat and received strong attention from the press and media. Currently there are no policies or regulations for electric vehicles in Oman, and no cars are being sold there, although Nur Majan have impressibly built the first Omani EV! Most people we engaged with in Oman had never seen an electric car and were surprised to hear how far we had travelled! There were no public charging stations before our event, and no standards or regulations for charging stations to be installed and maintained. We hope that now that GreenParking have built a network of charging stations that this will quickly change. United Arab Emirates The Sustainable Transport section of the World Future Energy Summit (WFES) grew considerably this year, which indicates the growth of the industry, as well as our ability to host a larger conference that focused on the future of Mobility and took place at WFES. We found that the public of the UAE are a lot more familiar with electric cars than they were 12 months ago, but they still have a lot of basic questions. Generally speaking the audiences we engaged on the road trip and at our events were keen to adopt the technology but felt the prices were still too high and they did not understand the full cost benefits associated with total cost of ownership. In the past 12 months the following incentives for the public to buy electric vehicles were announced by H.E Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Vice Chairman of the Supreme Council of Energy and MD & CEO of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA): free charging at public Dewa Green Chargers until the end of 2019, free car registration fee, free salik registration fee, free parking in designated areas. The Dubai government also plan to double their number of charging stations this year from 100 to 200. Tesla Depending on the specification of the Tesla models they need between 3 and 8 hours to charge the battery from 0-full on the 22kWh charging stations. The difference arises from the different specifications. Standard specifications from Tesla allows for charging at a maximum of 11kWh on a 22kw AC charging. An upgraded specification allows to double this charging on AC. These cars charged on average 40 hours each across 10 days, that s 4 hours per day since we never emptied the battery. Electric vs Petrol Fuel comparison If petrol cars did our road trip: 8 cars travelling 2,000km would need 1,506 litres of petrol, that s 9.5 barrels of oil we saved! A fantastic achievement, but there are still improvements to be made. Your electric cars is only as clean as your electricity source. The switch to renewables, particularly to solar, that is already being made in the Middle East will improve the environmental impact of electric cars even further! Cost and energy comparison to complete the 2,000km journey of our road trip: 228 Litres of petrol 511 AED vs 9.5 barrels of oil we saved! 0 AED* Charging Statistics Overview Each car charged 9 times in total, on average every 220km (never charging from empty) This road trip is possible with only 5 charges for the Chevrolet Bolt EV or the Tesla Model S and Model X We mainly used 22kwh charging stations built by GreenParking across the UAE and Oman. Faster charging station infrastructure is available, but is rarely needed since charging a car is usually done overnight. Chevrolet Bolt EV These cars need 12 hours to charge the battery from 0-full on the 22kwh charging stations. Note that although the power output is 22kWh charging is limited to 7kWh due to the cars only accepting domestic supply of power. These cars charged on average 60 hours each across 10 days, that s 6 hours per day since we never emptied the battery. However, the Chevrolet Bolt EV can be charged 0-full in around 2 hours at the DC high speed charging stations that can be found in Dubai and supplied by DEWA through the Green Charger Initiative. This provides an option to fast charge on occasions when a fast charge is needed. However, the majority of charging, even during the long distance EVRT Middle East, can be done overnight and on a slow pace of charging. BMW M5 Honda Civic C02 C02 690kg of C Litres of petrol 273 AED 267kg of C02 vs Tesla Chevrolet Bolt C02 C02 246kg of C02 (To produce electricity) 0 AED* 210kg of C02 (To produce electricity) *AED 0 spent thanks to GreenParking, IHG, and DEWA offering free charging to all UAE and Oman residents with electric cars until 2019

7 Roadtrippers Over 60 people joined us to drive our electric vehicles along the trip, to share their knowledge, learn about electric vehicles, to embrace the experience of a new way to travel and be part of our growing global community. Our participants included experts from the EV, clean-tech, motoring and sustainability industries, including representatives from our partners and sponsors, as well as EV owners and advocates, and open-minded adventure seekers eager to experience and learn about electric vehicle driving. Through this unique experience a community of like-minded people was formed, with memories and learnings to share globally through both their professional and personal lives. Sushil Reddy SunPedal Ride, Guinness World Record on a solar powered e-bike It was a great experience to be a part of this Global EVRT Middle East An amazing initiative to promote the adoption of Electric mobility. Driving a Tesla for the very first time on the streets of UAE was a great experience personally. Meeting like minded people and learning about the Electric vehicle trends via the mobility conference was an added advantage. I would like to thank the entire Global EVRT team and stakeholders for this opportunity! Looking forward to participating in future events. Keep up the good work! Salman Hussain First Renault Zoe owner in the UAE The trip was a once in a lifetime experience to introduce a new way of transportation to people who had never experienced it before. This is my second EVRT experience after joining for the Emirates EVRT 2017 in which I drove my old EV. Seeing the progress of the latest models I drove on the road trip was staggering. This future is right now, it is possible, and this is the only way forward! It was also eye opening to see so many initiatives happening right here in our cities and towns, like the Eco-Homes built in Sultan Qaboos University Muscat. Vanessa Webber Executive Director, African Alliance for Energy Productivity An experience to remember! I saw impact made at countries and government level from the conference to the opening of charging stations, and road trip itself! The group was a vibrant and diverse mix, allowing me to dive into a learning experience about different backgrounds, electric cars, and sustainability initiatives, while discovering both beautiful host countries the UAE and OMAN. A brilliant initiative to be supported and promoted.

8 As the sun sets, the road trippers are arriving to the Tilal Liwa Hotel, in Madinat Zayed, the first stop of the EVRT Middle East 2018 Syed Hammad Mumtaz Safety Officer for Empire Aviation Group Life is a collection of memorable moments, and my experience with Global EVRT has been one of the most amazing of these memorable moments! Driving electric vehicles across the country was an experience, having said that; understanding the cars and their purpose in this world to be eco-friendlier was greatly eye-opening. I didn t have much information on electric vehicles previously. After embarking on this journey with an incredible group of people, I have not only learned so much more about the technologies, but also have made some great friendships that will be as sustainable as the technology!
