XCharge, Electromin to work together to set up EV infrastructure in Saudi Arabia
Global battery-integrated charging solutions
provider XCharge
has signed a strategic partnership with Electromin, Saudi Arabia’s largest EV
charging network operator, to accelerate the rollout of next-generation
charging infrastructure across the Kingdom. The collaboration marks another
significant step in Saudi Arabia’s drive to meet its Vision 2030
sustainability and mobility targets.
Key Highlights
·
XCharge’s GridLink system delivers ultra-fast DC
charging of nearly 200 kW with only 44 kW of grid input,
easing pressure on constrained grid networks.
·
Vision 2030 targets 30% EV adoption in
Riyadh by 2030, supported by rapid infrastructure expansion.
·
The Public Investment Fund (PIF)
aims to install 5,000 fast chargers across 1,000 sites through its
Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Company (EVIQ).
Ultra-Fast Charging With Minimal Grid
Dependence
Central to the agreement is XCharge’s GridLink
technology, designed to address the region’s longstanding infrastructure
challenges. By requiring minimal grid power and allowing direct solar energy
integration, the system is particularly suited to fuel stations, supermarkets
and remote locations where conventional grid upgrades are costly or
impractical.

GridLink is engineered for the Gulf’s harsh
conditions, featuring liquid-cooled thermal management, automated ventilation,
and built-in fire suppression to ensure safe operation in extreme temperatures.
“E-mobility is still in its early stages in
Saudi Arabia, and Electromin is ahead of the curve,” said Mowafak AlSaadi,
Electromin’s director of eMobility sales and marketing. “XCharge’s technology
allows us to accelerate our rollout significantly while maintaining the highest
safety and reliability standards.”
XCharge’s head of Europe, Albina Iljasov,
added: “The Middle East is poised for massive e-mobility growth, and we are
committed to enabling that transformation with technology that is a step
ahead.”
Powering Vision 2030’s EV Transformation
Saudi Arabia’s push toward widespread EV
adoption is gathering pace. Through EVIQ, the Public Investment Fund is
spearheading the installation of thousands of fast chargers nationwide,
ensuring coverage across key urban, suburban and highway locations.
Beyond infrastructure, the Kingdom is
advancing a comprehensive EV ecosystem—supporting local manufacturing through
brands such as Lucid Motors
and Ceer, and
investing in the electrification of fleets and public transport.

Supporting the Kingdom’s Smart City Ambitions
EV infrastructure development is also integral
to Saudi Arabia’s futuristic urban projects, including NEOM, which is
envisioned as a fully sustainable, high-tech city powered by advanced mobility
solutions. The deployment of state-of-the-art charging technology aligns with
the Kingdom’s ambitions to lead regional e-mobility innovation.
As Saudi Arabia ramps up investment and
strategic partnerships, its EV landscape is evolving rapidly—positioning the
Kingdom as a regional leader in clean transport and sustainable urban
development.
