CAIRO – 12 March 2022: Egyptian Minister of Electricity and Renewable Energy, Dr. Mohamed Shaker, revealed that the prices approved by the Electricity Utility and Consumer Protection Regulatory Agency for the cost of charging electric cars will encourage citizens to resort to environment-friendly transportation.
Shaker stated that charging electric cars up 22 kilowatt hours of alternating current will cost 169 piasters/kilowatthour, compared to places where companies are exempt from paying for the place. The cost of charging for the same amount is 186 piasters/kilowatthour in places where companies are obligated.
Minister pointed out that electric cars can be charged up to 50 kilowatts of continuous current at 375 piasters per hour. He also noted that charging electric cars from the house will be the same price as charging them from the home, in line with the plan to lift subsidy until July 2025.
