Dubai sets up over 740 EV charging points as 35,000 electric cars hit the roads
The UAE aims to have 50 per cent of the cars on its roads electric by 2050
Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has expanded its network of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, reaching over 740 Green Charger points across the city. This expansion is a testament to Dubai’s commitment to sustainable mobility and aligns with the UAE’s ambitious goal of having 50 per cent of its vehicles electric by 2050.
With over 34,970 EVs registered in Dubai, DEWA’s charging infrastructure plays a crucial role in supporting this growth. Customers can easily locate charging points through DEWA’s website, app, and other digital platforms.
“We are committed to transforming Dubai into a global leader in sustainable energy and mobility,” said HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA. “By expanding our EV charging network, we are empowering individuals and businesses to adopt electric vehicles and contribute to a greener future.”
To further accelerate the adoption of EVs, DEWA has issued the first two Independent Charge Point Operator (CPO) licenses to Tesla and UAEV, encouraging private sector investment in EV charging infrastructure.
DEWA’s EV Green Charger network offers a diverse range of charging options, including ultra-fast, fast, public, and wall-box chargers, catering to the varying needs of EV users. As of now, over 16,828 customers are benefiting from this extensive network.
