The launch kicked off today with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Limketkai Center Parking Lot, right in front of All Home. Excitement filled the air.

Better still, fast charging takes the battery from 30% to 80% in around 35 minutes. That means less waiting and more driving.

Next, you can get hands-on. Visitors can check out the new EV taxis and explore bank financing options.

Moreover, you can take a test drive and inquire about vehicle releases. The team will happily answer your questions.

For taxi operators and drivers considering the shift to electric, this is your chance. See the CAL-X5 up close and experience it on the road.
