Electric Route: Rapid Charging Mega Hub Connects Abu Dhabi and Dubai, Accelerating the Future of Mobility in the UAE

A new era for electric mobility in the United Arab Emirates has been inaugurated with the launch of one of the world's largest ultra-fast charging centers, strategically positioned on the E11 highway, the main corridor connecting Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The initiative, led by Adnoc Distribution, represents a crucial milestone in the country's plan to electrify its road network and drive the transition to more sustainable transport.

The new EV Mega Hub, located in Saih Shuaib, is a state-of-the-art facility designed to eliminate range anxiety for electric vehicle (EV) drivers. With 60 high-speed charging points, the hub is capable of charging most EV models from 0 to 80% in approximately 20 minutes, offering a quick and convenient solution for long-distance travel.

This launch is the centerpiece of an ambitious roadmap that foresees the construction of 20 similar charging centers by the end of 2027, with 15 of them planned to open by the end of 2026. This expansion of charging infrastructure, under the E2GO network banner, is fundamental to supporting the growing adoption of electric vehicles in the country and achieving the goals of the UAE's National Electric Vehicles Policy.

A Complete Ecosystem for the Modern Traveler

The concept of the EV Mega Hub goes beyond simple charging. Inspired by the success of "The Hub by Adnoc," the new center has been designed as a complete destination for travelers. With an area three times larger than traditional service stations, the location combines fuel supply and EV charging with a variety of food, beverage, and lifestyle offerings. One of the major differentiators is the inclusion of a coworking space, allowing travelers to work and connect comfortably and conveniently during their stops.

This innovative approach reflects Adnoc Distribution's vision to redefine convenience and customer experience in the era of electric mobility, transforming recharging stops into productive and enjoyable moments.

Accelerating the Transition to Green Mobility

The inauguration of the EV Mega Hub comes at a strategic time, aligned with Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week, and reinforces the UAE's commitment to a clean energy future. The National Electric Vehicles Policy sets the ambitious goal that 50% of all vehicles on the country's roads will be electric by 2050.

The expansion of the high-speed charging network, such as that promoted by Adnoc Distribution with its E2GO network, is a fundamental step to enable this transition. The company's goal is to operate over 400 charging points and expand to up to 750 points by 2028, consolidating its position as one of the country's leading charging point operators (CPOs).

With significant investments in infrastructure and a clear focus on customer experience, the United Arab Emirates is positioning itself as a global leader in the transition to a smart and sustainable mobility ecosystem, setting new benchmarks for the future of transport.
