Ultra-Fast EV Chargers to Be Installed in UAE Highways

The UAE’s Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure has signed an agreement with Siemens technology to install ultra-fast EV chargers in highways

Ten Siemens Sicharge D 160 kW ultra-fast chargers will be installed on the highways in Ras Al Khaimah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain and Fujairah charging cables which will also help reduce carbon emissions in the country.

All of them are cloud-connected devices which allow operators to monitor and manage the chargers remote.

The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority allows customers both registered in the Green Charger service and those not registered (by using the Guest Mode) to charge their vehicles at 560 charging points across Dubai.

Siemens will provide the charging infrastructure equipment, control and monitoring software, as well as training and commissioning support for the new network.

The command-and-control system allows full monitoring and control of all units and provides the foundation for the next phase of the project, which is to build an app for drivers to access and book chargers.
