Riyadh→Dubai (UAE)

The Riyadh–Dubai corridor via Al-Ahsa and the Batha crossing. The Saudi leg is the challenge — past Ghuweifat the UAE network has your back.

The corridor

  1. Riyadh

    0 km
    EVIQ / ElectrominCCS2150 kWunverified

    Depart at 100% — the capital has decent DC coverage; charge before you leave the city limits.

  2. Hofuf / Al-Ahsa

    330 km
    ElectrominCCS2120 kWsourceverified

    The most important charge of the trip — the Electromin Al-Ahsa site is verified, and it is the last big city before the empty Batha stretch. Fill to 100% here.

  3. Batha / Ghuweifat border

    550 km

    Saudi–UAE crossing. Sparse services on both sides — don't arrive here on a tired battery.

  4. Abu Dhabi (highway)

    900 km
    Tesla / ADNOC E2GOCCS2250 kWsourceverified

    From Ghuweifat to Abu Dhabi, the UAE network is far more mature; Tesla Yas Mall is officially confirmed up to 250 kW, with E2GO along the corridor.

  5. Dubai

    1050 km
    DEWA EV Green ChargerCCS2 / Type 2150 kWunverified

    Destination — the Gulf's densest charging network. The whole challenge was before the border.

The Al-Ahsa–Ghuweifat stretch (~350 km) has next to no confirmed charging — don't attempt this corridor in a car with real summer range under 450 km.
Split it over two days if you can — overnight in Al-Ahsa or Abu Dhabi rather than stressing battery and driver in one go.
Set up the EVIQ, Electromin and E2GO apps before travel — each country has its own network and payment flow.

Estimates only: we always keep a 12% reserve and cap charging at 90% (it slows sharply above that). Real range varies with wind, load and traffic — confirm every charger before departure.
