DR to be first country in the region to have a charging station for electric vehicles

According to businessman Rolando Gonzalez Bunster, the Dominican Republic will have, in Punta Cana, the first “refueling” station for electric vehicles. The well-known businessman with a long history of involvement in the Dominican electricity sector (EGE Haina and the electricity for Punta Cana and Bavaro) told reporters that the new charging station will be supplied with solar energy, and on cloudy days, there will be batteries to supply the demand. He noted that there are some 8,000 electric vehicles in the Dominican Republic, many more than in all of Argentina, for example. He said more people are buying electric vehicles every day. Gonzalez Bunster said that the US$7 million facility is nearing completion and will be called “Electrolinero Evergo.”

Gonzalez Bunster shared the news of this new facility during the 14th Ibero-American Business Meeting that preceded the 28th Ibero-American summit conference, held 24-25 March 2023 in Santo Domingo.
