Egypt Electric Car Charging Map: Pricing, Battery Costs, and Station Locations
As electric and hybrid vehicles flood the Egyptian market, consumer interest has extended far beyond purchase prices and specs to encompass daily operational realities—specifically, charging expenses, station availability, and powertrain behavior when battery levels run low.
This report provides a detailed breakdown of official EV charging tariffs, illustrative battery replenishment costs, nationwide station mapping across Greater Cairo and the governorates, and the technical distinctions between pure EVs and alternative electrified platforms.

Official EV Charging Tariffs in Egypt
EV charging costs in Egypt fluctuate based on the operating network and charger type (Slow AC vs. Fast DC).
Infinity EV, a primary player in Egypt’s EV infrastructure, sets its tariff rates at:
- Slow Chargers (AC): Approximately EGP 3.97 per kWh.
- Fast Chargers (DC): Approximately EGP 7.67 per kWh.
Drivers are encouraged to verify network operators and plug compatibility prior to initiating a charge.
How Much Does It Cost to Charge a Battery? (Illustrative Examples)
Total costs depend directly on battery capacity and remaining charge levels:
- Adding 30 kWh:
- Using AC Slow Charger: ~ EGP 119.
- Using DC Fast Charger: ~ EGP 230.
- Adding 50 kWh:
- Using AC Slow Charger: ~ EGP 199.
- Using DC Fast Charger: ~ EGP 384.(Calculations are illustrative; actual power drawn varies based on battery chemistry, initial state-of-charge, and thermal dissipation losses).

- Travel Routes & Resorts: Coverage extends to Hurghada, El Gouna, Ain Sokhna, the North Coast, and designated fuel stops along major national highways.
What Happens When the Battery Runs Out?
Vehicle behavior during low battery states depends entirely on its powertrain architecture:
- Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs): Rely exclusively on stored battery power. Once depleted, the vehicle must be recharged, making route planning essential for long-distance trips.
- Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs): Combine electric motors with a petrol engine. When battery charge depletes, the vehicle seamlessly transitions to petrol propulsion.
- Range-Extended Electric Vehicles (REEVs): Driven entirely by electric motors while an onboard petrol engine acts as a dedicated generator to replenish the battery on the go, eliminating immediate range anxiety as long as fuel is available.
