Krungsri Auto, a leader in automotive finance under Bank of Ayudhya PCL, joins forces with EA Anywhere, a provider of EV charging stations, to create seamless experience for automobile users with the launch of the "EV Station" feature on GO by Krungsri Auto Application. Offering convenience at fingertips, the new feature enables EV users to check the locations and types of EA Anywhere charging stations in real-time. The two brands plan to expand the collaboration to accelerate the clean-energy vehicle adoption in Thailand.
Mr. Pornthep Tirasuntrakul, Head of Krungsri Auto Marketing Division, Bank of Ayudhya PCL, said, "Electric vehicle (EV) adoption in Thailand has seen a significant growth during this past year. According to the latest report by the Federation of Thai Industries, the accumulated number of battery electric vehicle (BEV) registrations in the first eight months increased by more than 214% year-on-year. In addition to the government's policy and the variety of brands and models for EVs, the availability of charging stations along with access to necessary information, such as location and charger types, are essential for driving wider adoption for EVs."
Mr. Sombat Wattanahongsiri, Chief Marketing Officer, Energy Mahanakhon Co., Ltd, added, "With the mission to propel Thailand towards the age of electrically-powered automobiles which offer convenient, affordable and environmentally-friendly transportation, EA Anywhere has been consistently expanding our charging station network to give EV users access to high-quality, safe and energy efficient charging innovation. Under this partnership with Krungsri Auto, we have connected all of EA Anywhere's charging stations with the GO by Krungsri Auto Application. With more than one million automobile users as its main user base, the platform has the potential to uplift the overall experience of EV users."
The "EV Station" feature on the GO by Krungsri Auto Application enables EV users to find the location, availability status, and charger types of each charging station in real-time. Linked with Google Map's navigation system, the feature allows EV users to reach the charging station conveniently and quickly, making it easier for them to plan their trips and solving the issues of chargers being unavailable.
"Krungsri Auto plans to expand our collaboration with EA Anywhere on the enhancement of the 'EV Station' feature to answer more comprehensive needs of EV users, as a commitment to our mission of creating a better everyday life for automobile users," concluded Mr. Pornthep.
