Dubai is rapidly advancing its electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure, with the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) establishing over 740 EV charging points across the city. This expansion aligns with the UAE’s ambitious goal of having 50% of all vehicles on its roads be electric by 2050.
Commitment to Sustainable Mobility
With nearly 35,000 electric vehicles registered in Dubai, DEWA’s extensive charging network plays a crucial role in supporting this growth. “We are committed to transforming Dubai into a global leader in sustainable energy and mobility,” stated HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA. The expanded EV charging infrastructure empowers both individuals and businesses to adopt electric vehicles, contributing to a greener future.
Diverse Charging Options
DEWA’s Green Charger network offers a variety of charging solutions, including ultra-fast, fast, public, and wall-box chargers. This diverse range caters to the varying needs of EV users, ensuring convenience and accessibility. Currently, over 16,828 customers benefit from this extensive network.
Encouraging Private Sector Investment
To further accelerate EV adoption, DEWA has issued the first two Independent Charge Point Operator (CPO) licenses to Tesla and UAEV, promoting private sector investment in EV charging infrastructure. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to enhance the sustainability of transportation in Dubai.
Easy Access to Charging Stations
Customers can easily locate DEWA’s charging points through various digital platforms, including DEWA’s website and app. This user-friendly approach ensures that EV owners can find charging stations conveniently.
Conclusion
Dubai’s commitment to expanding its EV charging infrastructure underscores its dedication to sustainable mobility. With over 740 charging points and a growing number of electric vehicles on the roads, the city is well on its way to achieving its goal of becoming a leader in sustainable energy and transportation solutions.
