Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has revealed that the city now has over 1,270 electric vehicle (EV) charging points across the emirate. The announcement was made by HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD and CEO of DEWA.

These charging stations have been developed in collaboration with public and private sector partners. The initiative supports Dubai’s broader goals to promote green mobility and reduce carbon emissions.

Al Tayer confirmed that DEWA remains committed to advancing sustainable transport in line with national targets. By 2050, the UAE aims for electric and hybrid vehicles to make up 50% of all vehicles on the road.

He added that DEWA launched the EV Green Charger initiative in 2014, the region’s first public EV charging infrastructure network. The project aligns with the vision to position Dubai as a global leader in smart urban development.

In support of this, DEWA continues to offer digital services for EV users and encourages private sector investment in green mobility. Recently, a comprehensive licensing system was introduced for developing and operating EV charging infrastructure.

• Dubai recorded over 40,600 EVs by mid-2025
• DEWA is expanding public and private EV charging infrastructure

To further strengthen the network, DEWA has signed an agreement with Parkin. This will enable the installation of chargers at high-traffic locations managed by Parkin.

DEWA’s EV Green Charger network includes ultra-fast, fast, public, and wall-box chargers. A new regulatory framework for EV charging has also been developed. It enables licensing for independent charge point operators and ensures alignment with future requirements.

All customers, including unregistered users, can use charging services via a guest mode feature. Stations can be located using DEWA’s smart app, official website, and 14 other digital platforms.

Additionally, DEWA has launched the ‘Dubai EV Community Hub’ at www.dubaievhub.ae, offering a central source of information on the city’s EV ecosystem.

This initiative supports both the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050.
