Dubai is set to enhance its electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure with the rollout of new charging stations in early 2025. The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has partnered with Parkin, a leading provider of public parking facilities, to install alternating current (AC) chargers at prime locations. These chargers, each with a 22-kilowatt capacity per port, will be placed in high-density residential areas where access to EV charging is limited. The initiative targets zones A and C, ensuring that customers can easily charge their vehicles while also paying for parking through a seamless transaction using Parkin’s app.
This collaboration aims to expand DEWA’s EV Green Charger network, which currently includes over 740 charging points across Dubai. The goal is to reach 1,000 charging stations by the end of the year, aligning with Dubai’s Green Mobility Strategy 2030 and the Dubai Social Agenda 33. These strategies focus on reducing carbon emissions and making Dubai a model for sustainable urban development.
Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD and CEO of DEWA, emphasized the importance of promoting eco-friendly transportation to reduce carbon emissions. The partnership with Parkin is part of broader efforts to provide advanced EV charging infrastructure, supporting the UAE’s climate goals and reinforcing Dubai’s position as a global hub for innovation and sustainability.
Eng Mohamed Al Ali, CEO of Parkin, highlighted the company’s role in enabling the transition to EVs in Dubai. By installing green chargers in key locations, Parkin aims to enhance its facilities, unlock growth opportunities, and incentivize EV adoption. This collaborative effort reflects a shared vision to support sustainable mobility and aligns with the environmental and social ambitions of Dubai’s leadership.
The expansion of EV infrastructure not only supports Dubai’s environmental goals but also enhances operational efficiency and revenue potential by increasing the utilization of parking spaces adjacent to the chargers. As Dubai continues to invest in green mobility, it solidifies its position as a leader in sustainable urban development and a preferred destination for living, working, and investing.
