Dubai has expanded its electric vehicle charging infrastructure to over 1,270 charging points, serving more than 40,600 EVs by mid-2025, according to Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa).
Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Dewa's managing director and CEO, announced the launch of a comprehensive licensing system to encourage private sector investment in Dubai's green mobility infrastructure. "This supports the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050," Al Tayer stated.
The charging network includes ultra-fast, fast, public, and wall-box chargers developed through partnerships between Dewa and both public and private sector collaborators. To enhance accessibility, Dewa signed an agreement with Parkin to install charging stations in prime locations managed by the parking company.
The growth has been significant – Dubai had approximately 740 charging points in March 2025, with plans to reach 1,000 charging stations by year-end. This expansion is part of Dewa's EV Green Charger initiative, launched in 2014 to create pioneering infrastructure supporting electric vehicle adoption across the emirate.
The infrastructure development aligns with the UAE's broader sustainability goals. The country aims to increase electric and hybrid vehicle share to 50 percent of all cars on UAE roads by 2050, making Dubai's charging network expansion a crucial component of this national objective.
This rapid infrastructure growth demonstrates Dubai's commitment to sustainable transportation and positions the emirate as a regional leader in electric vehicle adoption and green mobility solutions.
