ADNOC Distribution, a gas station and convenience store chain in the United Arab Emirates, has opened a large new EV charging hub, and unveiled a roadmap to electrify the UAE highway network by the end of 2027.
Strategically located at Saih Shuaib on the E11 highway between Abu Dhabi and Dubai, the new EV Mega hub features 60 high-speed EV charging points, and is specifically designed to meet the needs of commuters traveling between the UAE’s two largest cities. It has a footprint three times larger than the company’s traditional service stations, and includes a convenience store with food and a coworking space.
ADNOC plans to open 15 new EV charging hubs by the end of 2026, and another 5 by the end of 2026, providing comprehensive EV charging services across all core UAE national highways.
ADNOC Distribution operates several hundred gas stations, including 562 in the UAE, 172 in Saudi Arabia and 243 in Egypt. It has nearly 370 EV charging points installed under the E2GO brand in the UAE.
“The inauguration of ADNOC Distribution’s EV Megahub is a significant step in implementing the UAE’s National Electric Vehicles Policy,” said H.E. Eng. Sharif Al Olama, Undersecretary for Energy and Petroleum Affairs at the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure. “This hub stands out for its strategic location on the E11 highway, one of the country’s most vital corridors. Expanding the high-speed charging network is central to our strategy to cut energy consumption in transport and drive the Global EV Market initiative, which aims to see electric vehicles represent 50% of all cars on UAE roads by 2050.”
