UAE Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure selects Siemens tech to power the nation’s electric vehicle charging corridor

ERLANGEN, GERMANY - The chargers have a scalable power up to 300 kW and can be expanded with additional external dispensers.

The United Arab Emirates' Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure selected Siemens technology for a nationwide network of ultra-fast electric vehicle (EV) chargers. According to Siemens, it will help reduce carbon emissions, boost the adoption of EVs by addressing so-called range anxiety, and lay the groundwork for a more connected and sustainable transportation system.

Ten Siemens ultra-fast chargers will be installed on the highways in Ras Al Khaimah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain and Fujairah. The chargers have a scalable power up to 300 kW and can be expanded with additional external dispensers for up to two additional charging cables. All are cloud-connected devices which allows operators to monitor and manage the chargers remotely, they say.

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. It also provides the foundation for the next phase of the project, which is to build an app for drivers to access and book chargers.
