Gulf’s 1st Ultra-fast Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Installed in Abu Dhabi

ION is fast-tracking the development of electric transportation in the UAE - WAM

ION, the UAE-based sustainable transportation 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.

This came in response to growing demand for electric vehicle infrastructure, state news agency WAM reported.

The stations can supply combined charging system (CCS) EVs and also solve a common issue with EV charging infrastructure by catering to all types of e-vehicles including buses.

I also offers 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.

Khaled Al Huraimel, Group CEO of Bee'ah and Chairman at ION, said: "This is yet another demonstration of ION's commitment to supporting the e-mobility network in the UAE. ION is at the forefront of bringing transformative, green mobility solutions to the market, and we are delighted to claim we have installed the Gulf region's first ultra-fast charging stations."
