Cairo: Infinity, Egypt’s leading renewable energy solutions provider, announced that in accordance with the ministerial decree No14 of 2022 issued by the Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy on Jan 26th, 2022, EV users will now have to pay for electricity charging for EVs across all charging stations.
The tariffs will be effective from June 28th, 2022, and as per government guidelines, customers will have to pay 1.89 EGP/kWH for AC charging and 3.75 EGP/kWH for DC charging, respectively. Customers can make the payments through their InfinityEV app, where they can recharge their credit balance using their debit or credit cards.
