ADNOC Distribution announced a significant expansion of its electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, increasing the number of charging points from 53 in 2023 to over 200 in 2024, with a target of operating 500 high-power chargers by 2028.
Bader Saeed Al Lamki, CEO of ADNOC Distribution, stated during the Electric Vehicle Innovation Summit (EVIS 2025) that the company is continuing to strengthen its position in EV mobility by developing advanced charging infrastructure and offering a smart, sustainable digital experience for customers, thereby supporting the UAE’s Net Zero by 2050 strategic initiative.
He said innovation and technology remain central to the company’s operations, highlighting features such as real-time updates via the ADNOC app and Apple smartwatches, as well as Plug & Charge technology powered by artificial intelligence, which enables automatic vehicle recognition and charging as soon as the vehicle is plugged in.
The service also provides innovative energy management and real-time predictive analytics, and integrates with ADNOC’s loyalty programme while offering flexible digital payment options to enhance the customer experience.
Al Lamki noted that ADNOC Distribution’s extensive network across all emirates allows customers to travel seamlessly, supported by premium retail services during charging, including exclusive offers and shopping at ADNOC Oasis convenience stores.
He said the company is showcasing the capabilities of the E2GO network at EVIS 2025 and exploring partnership opportunities with government entities, automotive manufacturers and energy providers to further contribute to ADNOC Group’s decarbonisation efforts.
ADNOC Distribution reduced carbon emissions in 2024 by the equivalent of more than 23 million metric tonnes. The company remains the only one in the UAE currently enabling uninterrupted electric journeys thanks to its advanced infrastructure.
He added that ADNOC Distribution plays a pivotal role in supporting the future of EV mobility, with E2GO now wholly owned by the company and operating as a major charge point operator that balances customer satisfaction with investment sustainability.
Al Lamki explained that customers can activate the Plug & Charge feature with a one-time setup, allowing them to enjoy seamless automated charging while monitoring the process through the app or smartwatches. He confirmed that the service is currently available for select vehicles within the E2GO network.
He concluded by stating that the company continues to expand its digital capabilities and innovative services to support the national transition in the transport sector, while delivering a fast and flexible charging experience that meets the expectations of EV drivers nationwide.
