Algeria is continuing its race towards ecological mobility. The authorities of this North African country recently announced that they were going to deploy 1,000 charging stations for electric vehicles in the 58 wilayas. These infrastructures will be installed by March 2023 by the public energy company Sonelgaz in partnership with Naftal, the subsidiary of the national company for research, production, transport, processing and marketing of hydrocarbons (SONATRACH).
During the first quarter of 2023, the two companies will carry out tests as part of a pilot phase that will allow the installation of 100 charging stations for electric vehicles in Algiers. This project comes at a time when the Algerian government will inaugurate the 1,216 km “East-West” motorway in 2024. At a total cost of 1496 billion Algerian dinars (about 11 billion dollars), construction work on this road infrastructure began in 2006 with the aim of linking the major cities of the north.
According to Mohamed Arkab, the Algerian Minister of Energy and Mines, these various investments will promote the import and local production of electric vehicles. “The advent of electric vehicles is a very good initiative on an international level. Algeria should not be left behind by the technologies, economies and cultures that revolve around this low-polluting and sustainable mode of transport,” explains Farid Rahal, a researcher at the Science, Technology and Process Engineering Laboratory of the University of Science and Technology in Oran, Algeria.
In this North African country, engineers are increasingly interested in the development of ecological transport mobility. This is the case, for example, of Oussama Touaba, who in 2020 built an electric car in partnership with a team from the Centre for the Development of Renewable Energy (CDER) based in Algiers. With a maximum speed of 40 km/h and a length of 2.5 metres, this two-seater is equipped with two motors whose unit production cost is estimated at 700,000 Algerian dinars (just under 4,800 euros).

Mohamed Arkab, the Minister of Energy and Mines, has recently announced the commencement of operations for the first hundred electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, located in the Sablettes promenade of Algiers.
Together with Mourad Adjal, CEO of Sonelgaz (the National Gas and Electricity Company), the minister also revealed plans to bring an additional 300 stations into service before the end of the current year, with a target to have 1,000 stations up and running by the end of 2024.
As a part of this strategic initiative, Sonelgaz will continue to gradually set up around a hundred charging stations at various service stations across the East-West highway, before expanding the project nationwide.
Minister Arkab further mentioned that new power stations, harnessing renewable energy sources and hydrogen, are on the anvil as part of Algeria’s energy mix, signifying the country’s strategic choices on the path towards energy transition.
oussama touaba, a researcher at the renewable energy development center (centre de développement des energies renouvelables – CDER) in algiers, has developed lightweight electric car prototype for urban areas. the vehicle has two seats, and two engines with a power of 1.2 kilowatts (equivalent to 1.7 horses) that allow it to reach a maximum speed of 40 km/h. according to its developer, the car benefits from zero CO2 emissions, while, in the future, its power system will be upgraded to run only on solar energy.

CDER researcher oussama touaba’s electric car prototype already holds a patent for invention filed with INAPI, algeria’s national institute of industrial property. the zero-emissions vehicle is a continuation of the researcher’s work, who has already produced a one-seater and three-wheeled car that run on solar energy. in the future, mr. touaba plans to upgrade this car to charge during the day and also run only on solar energy. besides a means of transportation, it will also provide a source of energy for households in the evening.
the lightweight vehicle weights around 200 kg, and can provide an economical means of transportation if its batteries are charged from solar panels. mr. touaba estimates the cost of producing the car at around 700.000 algerian dinars, which is about 4.700 euros.
