The collaboration positions XCharge's cutting-edge battery-integrated charging solutions at the heart of Saudi Arabia's ambitious Vision 2030 initiative, which aims to achieve 30% electric vehicle adoption in Riyadh by 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2060. This partnership marks a significant milestone in accelerating the region's transition to sustainable mobility while addressing critical infrastructure challenges in locations with limited grid capacity.
Advanced technology for off-grid and low-power locations
At the core of this partnership is XCharge's GridLink system, featuring the company's patented 215 kWh battery that delivers nearly 200 kW of DC fast-charging power while requiring only 44 kW input from the grid. This capacity is scalable to 430 kWh with a second battery, enabling the charger to operate independently during grid outages and making it an ideal solution for gas stations, supermarkets, and remote locations where conventional grid connections could be cost prohibitive.
Electromin chose XCharge for this rollout based on the company's extensive experience in the e-mobility landscape spanning more than 10 years, its strong R&D capabilities in both hardware and software development, and GridLink's unique ability to deliver high-power charging with minimal grid requirements.
GridLink also channels solar energy directly into DC fast charging, offering a practical way to utilize on-site generation, while the technology's integrated 55-inch display screen also provides opportunities for dynamic advertising and enhanced user experience.
Comprehensive turnkey solutions and technical support
Under the partnership agreement, Electromin Ltd Co will provide 360 degrees electric mobility solutions for the EV Infrastructure, including installation, commissioning, and preventive and corrective maintenance services to customers throughout Saudi Arabia. The collaboration leverages Electromin's position as part of the Petromin Group – one of Saudi Arabia's most established mobility and energy networks, providing nationwide coverage through thousands of service centers, fuel stations, and fleet operations.
XCharge will supply the advanced charging technology, comprehensive training, and ongoing remote technical support to ensure Electromin's technical teams can operate autonomously while maintaining the highest standards of service delivery.
XCharge operates in close to 25 countries worldwide. The Middle East represents a strategic growth region where e-mobility is expected to expand significantly in the coming years, and the company is committed to fostering this growth through its innovative charging technology and best in-class service to create value where our customers are.
Advanced safety and reliability features
XCharge's GridLink system incorporates advanced safety features very relevant for the Middle Eastern market, including liquid-cooled thermal management that provides 2.38 times more heat dissipation surface than standard designs, maintaining stable operation even under extreme environmental conditions. Each battery pack is equipped with four sensors for early hazard detection, automated ventilation systems to disperse flammable gases, and built-in fire suppression technology for enhanced safety.
The system also supports modern communication standards including OCPP 1.6J and 2.0.1, with connectivity via GSM, LTE, or LAN, ensuring seamless integration with existing charging network management platforms.
"E-mobility is in a very early stage in Saudi Arabia, and Electromin is ahead of the curve in the market and wants to support this expansion within the Kingdom by offering innovative solutions to all locations. XCharge's GridLink technology, with its innovative battery integration and ability to deliver ultra-fast charging with minimal grid input, allows us to accelerate our rollout timeline significantly while maintaining the high standards of safety and reliability," says Mowafak AlSaadi, and Director of eMobility Sales and Marketing at Electromin.
"We are proud to partner with Electromin to bring our GridLink technology to Saudi Arabia at a pivotal moment in the Kingdom's energy transformation," said Albina Iljasov, Head of Europe at XCharge. "We see the Middle East as a region where e-mobility will grow massively in the coming years, and we are committed to fostering this growth with technology that is truly one step ahead."
"Our commitment to R&D, supported by a team of more than 80 professionals, allows us to integrate the latest technologies and standards for Electromin, providing them customized solutions including the intelligent management of the energy ecosystem and the optimization of the user experience," concludes Javier Lázaro, Head of Sales at XCharge EU.
