Powering Egypt’s EV Future: Plug & PRE group Expand Charging Infrastructure at Stone Residence
The electric vehicle (EV) revolution is accelerating globally, and Egypt is rapidly joining the charge. A recent partnership between Plug, a leading developer of EV charging solutions and a subsidiary of Elsewedy Electric, and PRE Group signifies a major step towards bolstering Egypt’s EV charging infrastructure and making lasting transportation more accessible to residents. This collaboration will see the installation and operation of smart EV chargers throughout the prestigious Stone Residence residential compound, offering a convenient and reliable charging experience for homeowners. As of December 9th, 2025, this initiative represents a tangible commitment to a greener future for Egyptian communities.
the Growing Demand for EV Charging in Egypt
Egypt’s automotive market is witnessing a growing interest in electric vehicles, driven by increasing environmental awareness, government incentives, and decreasing battery costs. While EV adoption is still in its early stages compared to global leaders,the potential for growth is substantial. According to a recent report by the Egyptian Automotive Manufacturers Association (EAMA) released in November 2025, EV sales increased by 45% in the first three quarters of 2025 compared to the same period last year. This surge in demand necessitates a parallel expansion of charging infrastructure to alleviate range anxiety and encourage wider adoption.
Plug & PRE Group: A Synergistic Partnership
The partnership between Plug and PRE Group is a prime example of how collaboration between innovative technology providers and forward-thinking real estate developers can accelerate the deployment of EV charging solutions. Plug brings its expertise in designing, manufacturing, and operating a comprehensive suite of charging solutions, while PRE Group provides access to a prime residential location and a commitment to enhancing the quality of life for its residents.
heba Farouk, CEO of Plug, emphasized the strategic importance of this agreement, stating it allows Plug to “deliver smart charging solutions directly to homeowners while helping real estate developers advance their sustainability objectives.” ali Rezk, CEO of PRE Group, echoed this sentiment, highlighting how the new infrastructure will “enhance the overall quality of life within the community” by providing reliable and user-kind charging access.

Beyond stone Residence: Expanding Egypt’s EV Ecosystem
This partnership isn’t an isolated event. it’s part of a broader trend of increasing investment in Egypt’s EV ecosystem. Several other residential compounds and commercial centers are actively exploring the integration of EV charging infrastructure, recognizing the growing demand and the long-term benefits of sustainable transportation.
I’ve personally observed a significant shift in developer priorities over the past year.Where EV charging was once considered a niche amenity,it’s now viewed as a core requirement for attracting environmentally conscious residents and enhancing property value. The availability of reliable charging infrastructure is becoming a key differentiator in the competitive real estate market.
