Dubai : In a strategic move to accelerate electric vehicle (EV) adoption and infrastructure in the region, the UAE has launched ‘Tellus Power MENA’, a new company formed through a joint venture between BinHendi Holding, China’s Sing Family Enterprise Group, and California-based Tellus Power.
The newly formed entity will serve as a key technology and infrastructure partner for the UAE’s growing EV sector. One of its primary objectives is to enable local manufacturing of advanced EV charging solutions, including support for bidirectional vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technologies, which allow EVs to feed power back into the grid — a major innovation in energy sustainability.
Driving Local EV Ecosystem Growth
The initiative is expected to fast-track the rollout of EV charging stations across the UAE and the broader GCC region. It complements ongoing efforts by EV brands and local companies to build a robust ecosystem for electric mobility, covering everything from charging infrastructure to financing and insurance support for EV owners.
Strategic Government Backing
The UAE Ministry of Investment played a pivotal role in bringing the venture to life — from initiating partnerships and conducting due diligence to facilitating regulatory approvals and business setup.
“The Ministry of Investment was involved from the deal’s inception to its conclusion,” a statement noted. “Its contributions included introducing business partners, guiding negotiations, and linking stakeholders with key government entities and free zones to ensure a smooth setup process.”
This move aligns with the UAE’s broader vision to position itself as a regional hub for automotive manufacturing and EV innovation, following similar steps taken recently by the Abu Dhabi Investment Office to attract industrial and technology investments.
