EV skills in Saudi Arabia
The Saudi EV picture
Kingdom Centre, Saudi Arabia
Vehicle making has started. Lucid opened its AMP-2 plant in King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC) in September 2023, assembling the Lucid Air from kits. Ceer, the Saudi EV brand, is building a factory in KAEC's King Salman Automotive Cluster and, as of early 2025, planned to start making its first models in 2026. Hyundai and the Public Investment Fund are building a plant there for electric and petrol vehicles.
Charging is led by EVIQ, a joint venture of the Public Investment Fund and Saudi Electricity Company. In November 2025, EVIQ said it expected to finish 60 stations across Riyadh, Jeddah and the Eastern Province by the end of that year, with highway sites to follow. The Kingdom has a longer-term aim of 5,000 charging stations.
Riyadh's 2030 aim
The Royal Commission for Riyadh City aims for 30% of vehicles in the capital to be electric by 2030.

Lucid, Ceer and the Hyundai joint venture are all sited in King Abdullah Economic City.
Charging along highways
EVIQ plans stations on the Jeddah–Madinah, Riyadh–Dammam and Riyadh–Qassim routes.
Local suppliers
Ceer signed supply deals with Saudi companies for parts such as plastics, HVAC and wheels.

Studying from Saudi Arabia
How the training works
1. Enrol online
Apply from Saudi Arabia, and our admissions team shares the fees, payment options and batch dates for your country.
2. Learn live and on demand
Join live classes with EV engineers, then go back to recorded lessons, notes and quizzes whenever you need them.
3. Build and simulate
Work through design calculations, simulations and projects. An optional DIY hardware kit lets you practise on a real control board at home; ask the team about shipping to your country.
4. Go hands-on (optional)
Some programmes include hands-on workshops at our centres in India for work on batteries, motors, controllers and diagnostics.
5. Get certified
Finish the projects and assessments to earn your certificate, with a verification link you can share with employers.
Certificates
Certificates and EV work rules in Saudi Arabia
We could not confirm a single national licence for EV technicians in Saudi Arabia. Manufacturers, dealers and fleet operators normally run their own high-voltage safety training and authorise staff before they touch live systems. Our certificate shows you completed our training; it is not a licence for high-voltage work.
FAQs
EV training in Saudi Arabia: common questions
Is there an EV course in Saudi Arabia I can take online?
Yes. All our programmes are online, with live classes, recorded lessons, projects and assessments. We do not have a centre in the Kingdom.
How do class times compare with Saudi time?
We teach on Indian Standard Time, which is 2 hours 30 minutes ahead of Saudi Arabia. A 7 pm class in India starts at 4:30 pm in Riyadh.
Can I study during my weekend?
Yes. Recorded lessons and projects can be done on your days off, and the portal shows live sessions in local time.
Does the certificate help with jobs at Saudi EV plants?
It can show you have studied EV systems, but each employer has its own hiring and training rules. We make no job promises.
Is there any hands-on training?
Some programmes include optional workshops at DIYguru centres in India. You can also buy a DIY electronics kit; ask the team about shipping to Saudi Arabia.
How do fees work for Saudi learners?
The admissions team shares fees and payment options for your country once you pick a programme.
What time are the live classes in Saudi Arabia?
Live classes are scheduled in Indian Standard Time, and Saudi Arabia is 2 hours 30 minutes behind India (IST). A class at 7:00 pm IST starts at 4:30 pm your time. Most sessions are recorded to your learner portal, so you can catch up when a class falls outside your hours.
Which is the best EV course in Saudi Arabia?
The best course depends on your background. For most learners in Saudi Arabia we suggest the Advanced Nanodegree Certification Program in EV Engineering, Automotive Design, Development, & Dynamic Analysis or the Advanced Nanodegree Certification Program in EV Engineering, Design, Simulations, and Analysis; our admissions team can compare options against your experience and goals.
How long does an electric vehicle course take?
Professional Certification Programmes run for about 3 months, the CEVT technician programme 3 months, Advanced Nanodegrees 6 months and the Post Graduate programme 12 months.
Is there EV training near me in Saudi Arabia?
We do not run a campus in Saudi Arabia. The programmes are taught live online, so you can join from anywhere in Saudi Arabia; hands-on workshops, where a programme includes them, take place at our centres in India.
Can a car mechanic in Saudi Arabia learn EV repair online?
Yes. The CEVT programme covers EV batteries, motors, controllers, charging and diagnostics for two- and four-wheelers, with an optional hands-on workshop in India. Always follow your employer's high-voltage safety rules before working on a vehicle.
Which EV programme suits an engineering graduate?
Electrical and electronics engineers usually pick the EV modelling or battery and BMS Nanodegrees, mechanical engineers the EV automotive design Nanodegree, and embedded or software engineers the embedded systems or ADAS & AUTOSAR tracks.
