ION installs GCC’s first ultra-fast 350kW EV charging stations in Yas Island – MEP MiddleEast

UAE-based sustainable transportation firm ION – which is a joint venture between Bee'ah and Crescent Enterprises – has installed high-power, ultra-fast charging stations with a total capacity of up to 350KW on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, in response to growing demand for electric vehicle infrastructure.

Capable of charging electric vehicles (EV) through a connection to a user interface unit, the stations can supply combined charging system (CCS) EVs.

Through its compatibility with all manufacturers, the stations also solve a common issue with EV charging infrastructure by catering to all types of e-vehicles including buses.

Another major benefit of the ION stations is its offer of the fastest charging times in the UAE, fully charging vehicles in less than 15 minutes on average and reducing user waiting time drastically. They are 25 times faster than a traditional home charger which only supplies up to 7 KW.

Featuring less cable work, the stations are also cost-effective and reduce carbon footprint. A forthcoming announcement will be shared when the stations is officially open to accept customers.

The Group CEO of Bee'ah and Chairman at ION, Khaled Al Huraimel, said: “This is yet another demonstration of ION's commitment to supporting the e-mobility network in the UAE. ION
