Egypt is taking big steps to improve its electric vehicle (EV) charging network through a partnership between the government and private companies.
This project includes Hassan Allam Utilities, Infinity, Misr Petroleum, and Gastec, all working together to install EV charging stations across the country.
The goal is to make it easier for people to switch to electric cars and reduce reliance on traditional fuels.
The agreement was signed at the EGYPESconference, with Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, H.E. Eng. Karim Badawi, present.
Under the deal, Misr Petroleum and Gastec will use their existing fuel station locations to install and manage both slow (AC) and fast (DC) EV chargers.
DC chargers will help long-distance travelers by allowing quick battery top-ups, making EVs a more practical choice.
Infinity, Egypt’s largest renewable energy company focused on EV charging, is leading the effort to expand the network.
Hassan Allam Utilities, part of a major engineering and construction company, will provide the necessary infrastructure.
This partnership aims to make EVs more common in Egypt and establish the country as a leader in electric mobility in the region.
Currently, EVs make up only 0.1% of Egypt’s car market, with about 5,000 electric cars on the road.
A key reason for this is the lack of charging stations, which has made EVs less attractive to buyers.
This new initiative is expected to solve that problem and make electric cars more accessible.
Beyond setting up charging stations, the partnership is part of a bigger plan to build a cleaner transportation system.
Nayer Fouad, CEO of Infinity, said this collaboration will speed up EV adoption and strengthen Egypt’s position as a leader in the sector.
Dalia Wahba, CEO of Hassan Allam Utilities, emphasized that investing in sustainable infrastructure will support Egypt’s transition to clean energy.
The Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources has been actively pushing for cleaner energy solutions, including electric mobility and natural gas.
This project aligns with Egypt’s goal of becoming a hub for green energy and sustainable development in Africa and the Middle East.
This effort is also expected to boost the economy by creating jobs, attracting foreign investment, and encouraging international companies to expand into Egypt.
As global car manufacturers shift towards electric vehicles, Egypt’s growing charging network will help it play a bigger role in the EV market.
By improving charging access, the initiative will help reduce emissions, grow the economy, and support a cleaner future.
With strong support from both government and private companies, Egypt is on its way to becoming a leader in electric mobility.
