Riyadh - 04 May 2025

iCharge, a leading Saudi innovator in the electric vehicle (EV) charging industry, has begun its strategic expansion into the greater GCC market with its inaugural participation at the EV Innovation Summit (EVIS) 2025 in Abu Dhabi, MENA’s largest electric vehicle conference, hosted by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC).

With the success of its EV charging network in Saudi Arabia, iCharge is now bringing its single-step solutions, strategic partnerships, and client-first approach to the UAE, its first destination, aiming to support the local transition to sustainable transport. The company’s silver sponsorship of EVIS 2025 represents a key milestone in its regional growth strategy.

“With the arrival of new global players, the EV market is officially here—and ready for specialists to come forward,” said Alharith AlHisan, CEO of iCharge. “This is a moment of transition—not just in technology, but in mindset. The region is signaling its readiness for reliable, scalable, and localized solutions, and that’s exactly where we come in. As the first Saudi startup in the EV sector to expand regionally, we can rely on our agility and tested know-how to expand now.”

At the event, iCharge showcased its latest models of ultra-fast chargers, demonstrated its in-house designed plug-and-play payment system, and presented a session on leveraging the momentum of the market to accelerate adoption and build a strong, connected charging infrastructure across the region.

iCharge’s expansion into the UAE is part of a broader mission to deliver reliable, comprehensive EV solutions across key regional markets and back large-scale local EV initiatives, ultimately supporting Saudi Arabia’s e-mobility vision in achieving region-wide reach and integration.

This week, the company will join EVS Saudi Arabia 2025, taking place from May 4 to 6 at the Riyadh Front Exhibition & Conference Center, as the “Innovation Partner”. This appearance is highly anticipated as iCharge is set to reveal its new 400 kW Hyper-fast charger, officially the fastest DC charger in the MENA region.

The groundbreaking model is the result of a recent partnership with Italy’s leading DC charging manufacturer, Alpitronic, and is scheduled for installation in Riyadh sometime this quarter.
