DEWA Adds 740+ EV Chargers in Dubai

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has significantly expanded its electric vehicle (EV) Green Charger network, now offering more than 740 charging points across Dubai. This initiative supports the Emirate’s growing adoption of electric vehicles, which has exceeded 34,970 as of October 2024. Customers can conveniently locate these charging stations via DEWA’s website, smart app, and 14 other digital platforms.

His Excellency Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA, highlighted the authority’s efforts in line with Dubai’s leadership vision:
“We work in line with the vision of our wise leadership to transform Dubai into the smartest and happiest city in the world by adopting disruptive technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The EV Green Charger initiative, launched by DEWA in 2014, aims to provide a pioneering infrastructure for EV charging stations, supporting the steady increase in electric vehicles across Dubai. The UAE aims to have 50% of the cars on its roads electric by 2050. Recently, we launched a comprehensive Regulatory and Licensing Framework for the development and operation of EV charging infrastructure in Dubai. This represents a significant step towards promoting green mobility and achieving Dubai’s target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.”

As part of this initiative, DEWA has issued the first two Independent Charge Point Operator (CPO) licenses to Tesla and UAEV, paving the way for private sector involvement in advancing sustainable mobility. This step encourages investment in green mobility infrastructure and aligns with efforts to reduce emissions in Dubai’s transportation sector.

DEWA’s EV Green Charger network includes ultra-fast, fast, public, and wall-box chargers, catering to the diverse needs of electric vehicle users. Currently, 16,828 customers benefit from this infrastructure, which continues to drive the transition to sustainable transportation in the Emirate.
