The Algerian Company for Electrical and Gas Industries (SAIEG), a subsidiary of the SONELGAZ group, exported its first batch of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations from its factory to Libya last Sunday (1 September).
The operation, various Algerian media outlets reported, is part of a contract which includes the export of EV charging stations of varying capacities: 60 kW for slower charging and 322 kW for the fast-charging – all manufactured in accordance with international standards.
The SAIEG EV charging station exports come within the framework of Sonelgaz’s strategy to diversify sources of hard currency outside the hydrocarbon sector and support the development of the national industry.
The factory, which is located in El Alameh, has previously directed its production to the national market and is now expanding to international markets.
In addition, Sonelgaz has signed several contracts with European countries and countries in the Middle East for the export of EV charging stations.
The Algerian exports offer a diversification suggestion to Libya’s GECOL and its subsidiaries, as well as all of Libya’s underperforming industrial sector.
