Middle East EV Charging Market Booms: Policy, Capital and Technology Forge a $10 Billion Track
Source:
Above the deserts, a green energy revolution is accelerating. Latest data shows that the Middle East electric vehicle (EV) charging market is expanding rapidly at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.3%, with the market size expected to exceed $1.437 billion by 2030. Catalyzed by policies in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and other countries, transnational technological cooperation and the rise of local manufacturing have formed a synergistic force, driving the region’s charging infrastructure to achieve leapfrog development from "addressing shortcomings" to "intelligentization".
Policy Anchors Goals, Infrastructure Races for Breakthroughs
The UAE has emerged as a pioneer in regional transformation. According to the "National Electric Vehicle Policy", the total number of charging piles in the country will jump from approximately 2,000 currently to 5,000 by 2025, and further exceed 12,000 by 2030. More milestone-worthy is Resolution No. 50 issued in May 2024, which established the world’s first mandatory technical standard for charging piles. It requires that all EVs sold from 2025 must be equipped with Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) functionality, and equipment must withstand extreme temperatures ranging from -30℃ to 50℃. This standard has directly driven over 2 billion Dirhams in technology upgrading investment, opening up market space for high-end equipment suppliers.
Dubai’s "charging network expansion battle" is particularly intense. The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has recently signed a series of intensive agreements: cooperating with Parkin to deploy 100 charging piles among 212,000 parking spaces, and joining hands with the Dubai Taxi Corporation (DTC) to build 208 ultra-fast charging stations, which will reduce carbon emissions by 37,900 tons annually. Private capital has followed suit—Parkin’s 10-year agreement with charge & go plans to deploy 200 ultra-fast charging stations, with the first phase of 20 stations to be put into operation by the end of 2025. "We are adopting a 'government + enterprise' model to ensure that the growth rate of charging facilities matches the scale of 39,000 EVs in ownership," a relevant person in charge of DEWA stated.
Transnational Cooperation Deepens, Localized Technology Breaks Through
Chinese enterprises have become the core force in technological output. Autel Energy recently signed a strategic cooperation agreement with a national-level charging operator in the UAE, upgrading from an equipment supplier to a "national network construction partner". It will provide V2G fast-charging systems that operate stably in environments above 55℃ and participate in building a smart energy ecosystem covering the seven emirates. This cooperation continues the technological advantages of Chinese enterprises—high-temperature adaptive energy storage and charging solutions showcased by companies such as EAST and Shengyang Co., Ltd. at the Middle East Energy (MEE 2025) have been implemented in multiple integrated solar-storage-charging projects.
Local manufacturing capacity is rising simultaneously. In June 2025, TellusPower established the region’s first charging pile manufacturing company in partnership with the Middle East’s BinHendi family and SFE Group. It plans to put V2G high-power equipment into production by the end of the year, with products covering the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Undersecretary of the UAE Ministry of Investment, pointed out: "The 'Made in UAE' label will drive the region’s transformation from an 'equipment importer' to a 'technology export hub'." In addition, the recent deployment of ultra-fast charging stations by ENOC Group and ION Company in Sharjah has further improved the regional network layout.
Opportunities and Challenges Coexist, Intelligentization Becomes the Next Battlefield
Behind the market dividends, bottlenecks remain to be addressed. Although the EV penetration rate in GCC countries has doubled to 4% within a year, it still lags behind the global average of 16%. The test of extreme temperature differences on battery management systems (BMS) and the 2.1-billion investment demand for power grid upgrades are key hurdles that the industry must overcome. However, capital has taken the lead in responding—global private equity investment in charging infrastructure exceeded 1 billion in the first 10 months of 2024, approaching the full-year scale of 2023.
An industry consensus is taking shape: intelligentization is the key to breaking the deadlock. Autel Energy’s AI-driven diagnostic system and EAST’s cloud-based EMS operation and maintenance platform can increase power station efficiency by 20% and reduce operation and maintenance costs by 30%. A PwC Middle East analyst noted: "When V2G technology is deeply integrated with energy storage systems, the charging network will transform from an 'energy consumer' to a 'power grid regulation hub'—this is the core value of the Middle East’s energy transition."
