Infinity solidifies its position as a leader in electric vehicle charging

Infrastructure. Our friends at renewable energy player Infinity now operate 200 EV charging stations with more than 700 charging points, according to a statement (pdf). The stations are spread across 16 of Egypt’s 27 governorates, helping cover many charging black spots that many commonly cite as their main reason not to choose their next car electric.

Infinity now has its eyes set on reaching 1k charging points by the last quarter of the year, Managing Director of Infinity EV division Shams Abdel Ghaffar said. The company’s network expansion does not just focus on building stations in public areas, but also on building EV infrastructure in commercial areas and gated communities.

EV charging infrastructure doesn’t come cheap, however, with CEO Mohamed Mansour saying last year that the company would invest USD 500 mn in EV charging infrastructure over five years.

What they said: “By building the largest EV charging network in Egypt, Infinity is helping to lay the foundation for a cleaner, more sustainable future. The company also aspires to be a key player in the EV charging sector across Africa and the Middle East,” said Abdel Ghaffar.

Infinity is also expanding abroad, having launched a new JV in December with Middle East Holding Company — dubbed Infinity Jordan — that aims to build over 1k charging points across Jordan by 2030. The first phase of the stations will go live in 2Q 2025, supported by an application for EV users.
