Riyadh: Saudi Arabia’s state-backed Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Co., known as EVIQ, is on track to complete 60 charging stations by the end of 2025 across Riyadh, Jeddah, and the Eastern Province.
This initiative, a joint venture between the Public Investment Fund (PIF) and Saudi Electricity Co., aims to support the nation’s transition towards electric vehicles (EVs).
EVIQ's CEO, Mohammad Gazzaz, highlighted the significant growth of the EV market in Saudi Arabia over the past two years, driven by major global automakers including Mercedes, BMW, BYD, and Tesla entering the market.
