Abstract - The transportation sector in Egypt is one of the
Battery technology is the key in the development of charging stations. The 21st century is expected to witness significant improvements in battery performance and increased capacity, which will enable drivers to take longer trips without the need for frequent charging [4].
most energy consuming sectors, which makes it one of the largest factors causing greenhouse gases. The trend towards spreading and using electric vehicles (EV) is considered a global trend, not just a local one. There are a number of alternatives to improve air quality and reduce the negative impact of fuels. These are alternatives include relying on natural gas, importing EV, or localization manufacturing it, or using hybrid vehicles. The localization strategy is based on a set of important pillars, which are the establishment of 1,000 fast electric charging stations annually. This research presents the development of charging stations in Egypt and the current capabilities available.
The spread of EV in Egypt began since the decision of the Minister of Trade and Industry in March 2018 to exempt customs duties for used EV imported from abroad, provided that they are not more than 3 years old. Since that time, interest in EV charging stations began [5]. The report of the Egyptian Association for Compulsory Vehicle Insurance, in cooperation with Traffic Department and Al-Ahram newspaper, dealt with the number of EV in Egypt that were licensed in the period from July 1, 2021 until April 30, 2023, total of 2,333 including 1,692 new private cars. This means that the number of EV that were licensed in April is comparable with March, 65 EV increased [6]. In the period from July 1, 2021 to July 1, 2023, the report said that during these two years, 2,618 EV were registered, including private, transport, and others, of which only 1,933 were private EV. The association reported that the month of July witnessed the licensing of 145 EV, an increase of 30 EV compared to June of this year. The Volkswagen brand occupied first place for licensed EV during this aforementioned period after licensing 43 cars. The Chinese BYD cars came in second place with 12 cars, and BMW ranked third with 7 cars.

1. INTRODUCTION In the 21st century, EV charging station technology is experiencing rapid and exciting developments. These stations play a vital role in stimulating the transition to electric transportation vehicles and expanding transportation sustainability. In this part, it will explore the evolution of technology and infrastructure for EV charging stations in Egypt. Fast charging and ultra-fast charging technology are among the most important developments in charging stations. These technologies enable drivers to charge their EV more quickly and efficiently, increasing the appeal of it. The 21st century is expected to witness sustained and continued development in these technologies [1].
2. Distribution of EV in Egypt Because using less fossil fuel results in less gas emissions, interest in EV has grown significantly, making them a popular mode of transportation. It is anticipated that as technology in the battery sector advances, the usage of EV will become more prevalent.
With the advancement of communications and internet technology, charging stations have been able to connect to power grids and EVS more intelligently. Smart stations can direct drivers to the nearest available charging station and provide information about station availability and charging rates. These technologies are expected to increase the efficiency of using charging stations and reduce their congestion. Charging stations are moving towards using renewable energy sources. Some stations are equipped with photovoltaic (PV) panels and energy storage systems and other use wind energy where wind speed available with economic rate to reduce reliance on electricity generated from fossil fuels. This drive towards sustainability will be an important part of the development of charging stations in the future [2-3].

Egypt's particular mix of conditions favors the growth of the EV industry. The nation has a dense population, especially in its cities, which exacerbates traffic and pollution. These issues can be resolved by using EV, which lower emissions and enhance air quality. Egypt also has a large potential for renewable energy, especially solar and wind energy. This offers a chance to combine the environmental advantages of EV with those of renewable energy sources. The government's initiative to encourage the use of EV is one of the major developments in Egypt's EV sector. To promote the purchase and usage of EV, the Egyptian government has put in place a number of incentives and legislation.
