Dubai Expands Electric Vehicle Charging Network to 1,860 Stations
Dubai has increased its network of electric vehicle (EV) charging points to more than 1,860, according to HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, managing director and CEO of the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA). The expansion includes stations licensed by DEWA in partnership with government and private sector entities.
As of mid-January 2026, the EV Green Charger initiative had registered 23,600 users and supplied over 55,200 megawatt hours of electricity since its 2014 launch. DEWA estimates this amount of electricity could power more than 276 million kilometres of EV travel.
Al Tayer emphasized that the expansion supports Dubai’s broader sustainability goals, including the UAE Net Zero 2050 Strategy and the Dubai Green Mobility Strategy 2030. The initiative aligns with efforts to improve air quality, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and position Dubai as a global leader in green mobility.
DEWA offers four types of charging stations - ultra-fast, fast, public, and wall-box - accessible through its website, mobile app, and 14 additional digital platforms. Customers can create a Green Charger account or use the service through the ‘Guest Mode’ feature, allowing access to stations within an hour of vehicle registration.
