The increasing government initiatives and presence of both local and global EV market players in Middle East are driving up demand for the Middle East Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging market during the forecast period.

Middle East Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Market was valued at USD 246.64 million in 2022, and is predicted to reach USD 1437.7 million by 2030, with a CAGR of 25.3% from 2023 to 2030, according to new research by Next Move Strategy Consulting.

The government is taking a proactive role in leading various initiatives focused on expanding electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure nationwide. These initiatives involve substantial investments in the construction and enlargement of EV charging facilities, aiming to facilitate and promote the adoption of electric vehicles. The overarching objective is to establish an extensive and user-friendly charging network that not only caters to the increasing number of EV users but also plays a part in reducing emissions and advocating for sustainable transportation choices. This commitment is driving the widespread expansion of EV charging facilities across the entire country.

For instance, in August 2022, the Saudi Ministry of Energy cooperated with other governmental agencies and announced to completion of all legislative and technical aspects to regulate the EV charging market. This development will enhance job creation and contribute to its green initiative to reach net-zero carbon by 2060.

However, expanding the EV charging sector encounters certain challenges, primarily related to the absence of incentives and concerns regarding high installation costs. Notably, there is a substantial upfront investment required for level 3 and ultra-fast chargers. In contrast, level 1 and level 2 chargers are comparatively slow, necessitating 6 to 16 hours for a full charge. This duration is significantly longer than the 5 to 7 minutes it takes to refuel conventional fossil fuel vehicles.

Consequently, this disparity has led to an increased demand for fast chargers capable of recharging EVs in under 30 minutes. Furthermore, establishing a level 3 charging station entails a significant initial cost, which can be intimidating. This expense may discourage individuals contemplating the switch to EVs, as longer charging times can disrupt their busy schedules. 

On the other hand, introducing vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology for electric vehicles (EVs) enables bidirectional energy exchange with the power grid. V2G allows EVs to store excess electricity and return it to the grid, improving their components and benefiting EV owners. This technology streamlines the charging process, making EVs a preferred mode of transportation. The charging station market plays a vital role in connecting EVs to the grid efficiently and creating ample opportunities in future.

As part of the MOV-E project sponsored by Nissan for corporate electric car-sharing trials, Enel Energia S.p.A. established two V2G EV charging stations at the Italian Institute of Technology's Genoa headquarters. Nissan provided two battery electric vehicles (LEAF models) and the Glide app management platform. This collaboration signifies a significant advancement in sustainable transportation technology.

Manufacturers have the potential for substantial gains from V2G technology, poised to revolutionize the EV industry and charging methods. However, it's worth noting that the initial cost of installing V2G charging stations can be significant. Manufacturers of EV connectors have an opportunity to develop advanced connectors capable of meeting the expected electrical demands as V2G technology expands.
