The deployment is part of the government initiative to incentivize EV adoption by removing tariffs on import of zero-emission vehicles and developing EV charging infrastructure.
The consortium signed a memorandum of understanding with the government in 2011 under which an off-grid solar powered EV charging station was installed for testing.
After positive results, the decision was made to set up 11 additional stations in Amman and expand to the remaining parts of the country.
Jordan Minister of the Environment Taher Shakhshir said: "The Jordan Solar EV Project will contribute to addressing issues related to reducing the fiscal deficit in the government of Jordan Treasury on one hand, and mitigating carbon dioxide emissions and preserving the environment."
AllCell Technologies CEO Said Al-Hallaj said: "This is a great step in our effort to launch the deployment phase of a network of 3,000 EV charging stations backed by 30MWp solar PV systems."
Jordan imports 97% of its energy and the country also has ample solar resources making it suitable for the adoption of EVs.
The program is part of a government initiative to increase the use of solar energy and reduce dependence on imported energy.
