The electric vehicle charging infrastructure in Jordan is growing rapidly to support the country’s goal of having over 10,000 electric vehicles on the road by 2025. Several new charging networks have launched in Jordan recently to accelerate EV adoption.ChargeX, a Jordan-based startup, has installed over 200 EV charging points across the country so far, with plans to expand to over 1,000 charging points in the next 3 years. Other private companies like Total Jordan and Zahid Group are also rolling out more EV chargers, especially in larger cities like Amman.
The Jordanian government offers incentives for private companies to build EV charging infrastructure. It has set a target of having around 7,000 public charging stations by 2025. Widespread charging infrastructure is critical to reducing range anxiety for EV owners and encouraging more people to switch to electric vehicles. The majority of public charging stations in Jordan use CCS and CHAdeMO charging standards which are compatible with most EV models.
Home EV chargers are gaining popularity in Jordan as well. For EV owners, home chargers provide maximum convenience and lower costs as they can charge overnight when utility rates are cheaper. Tesla and Schneider Electric are two major suppliers of residential EV chargers in the Jordanian market. Most home EV chargers installed in Jordan are Level 2 chargers that use an IEC 62196 Type 2 charging plug.
Industry experts forecast the Jordan EV charging market will reach over $2 billion in investment by 2030. The growth of Jordan’s charging infrastructure will play an important role in realizing the country’s vision of being a pioneer in e-mobility and sustainable transport in the Middle East. Overall, the future of electric vehicles in Jordan looks very promising.
Jordan hopes its efforts in expanding electric vehicle charging infrastructure will also benefit related industries like renewable energy, smart grids and battery storage. The electrification of transportation is a step towards building a greener economy and reducing dependence on oil imports.
