Abdali Investment and Development has unveiled a seven‑point ultra‑fast DC charging station in central Amman, deployed with Grasen and the Arab National Cars Company. This signals a private‑sector drive to plug gaps in Jordan’s fast‑charging network as part of the development’s smart‑city and Economic Modernisation Vision commitments.
Abdali Investment and Development has opened what it describes as the first advanced electric‑vehicle charging station in the heart of Abdali, Amman, moving to expand the capital’s fast‑charging infrastructure as it pushes a wider smart‑city agenda.
According to the original announcement, the facility was delivered in partnership with Chinese charger manufacturer Grasen and its Jordanian exclusive agent, the Arab National Cars Company of the Alayyan Group, and was unveiled in late July 2025. The launch is presented as part of Abdali’s commitment to sustainable transport and the Kingdom’s Economic Modernisation Vision.
The new station is fitted with seven ultra‑fast DC chargers, each rated up to 240 kW, and — the developers say — can charge up to 14 vehicles at once through dual‑gun configurations. It incorporates smart battery‑monitoring systems, dynamic power‑sharing that reallocates energy between ports, and other remote‑management features intended to speed turnaround and protect batteries. Grasen’s own product literature places its ultra‑fast family in a broader 300–420 kW range and claims a 420 kW unit can replenish a battery to around 80 per cent in about 15 minutes, while supporting multiple connector standards and simultaneous charging — a reminder that charger performance depends on both the site hardware and the vehicle’s capability.
Speaking to Saraha News, Engineer Amer Ahmad Al‑Tarawneh, CEO of Abdali Group, described the station’s opening as “a pivotal step” in the project’s smart‑transformation strategy and said it underlines Abdali’s commitment to building modern infrastructure that encourages electric mobility. Mohammed Alayan, CEO of the Arab National Cars Company, told reporters he was proud of the cooperation and indicated the Abdali site is the first in a planned series intended to broaden Jordan’s public fast‑charging network. The project signing was witnessed by Amer Talal Al‑Fayez, Abdali’s chairman, together with executives from the partners and Grasen representatives.
The investment also sits naturally within Abdali’s larger urban plan. Profiles of the development note it is Jordan’s largest mixed‑use redevelopment, combining residential, commercial, hospitality and healthcare facilities, and that Abdali has been positioned as a business and leisure hub aligned with national modernisation goals. The company frames the charging station as another step in integrating advanced infrastructure into a high‑density urban model that aims to attract both residents and inward investment.
Beyond Abdali, the wider market signals both opportunity and work to do. Industry coverage shows Jordan has seen sharp growth in EV registrations and public chargers in recent years, driven by incentives and private‑sector rollout, but chronic shortages of rapid chargers remain a constraint on further adoption. The Alayyan Group itself has been active in the domestic charging market through other distribution deals — for example its announced exclusive partnership for Wallbox smart chargers — demonstrating an appetite among local firms to supply both residential and commercial charging solutions.
The Abdali project illustrates a few practical realities. Ultra‑fast chargers of the type being deployed are especially valuable on commercial sites, motorway corridors and for fleet operators because they reduce downtime — but the real‑world charge time a driver sees will depend on the vehicle’s on‑board battery management and the connector standard used. Grasen highlights user‑centric features such as advanced cable‑management systems and remote monitoring to improve ease‑of‑use and reliability; such design choices can matter as much to everyday acceptance as raw power ratings.
The Abdali station is a visible sign that private developers and international vendors see the Jordanian market as viable for higher‑power infrastructure. Whether it will catalyse a dense network of comparable fast chargers across urban and intercity routes depends on follow‑through from both the private sector and regulators — more sites, standardisation and predictable grid connections will be needed for drivers to rely on fast charging as routinely as petrol stations.
Abdali and its partners say this is the first of several projects; if rolled out at scale, it could help position Jordan as a regional example of rapid EV infrastructure deployment.
