emirates7 - Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Managing Director and CEO of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), announced a 23.6% year-on-year increase in the use of DEWA’s Green Charger initiative for electric vehicle (EV) charging by the end of the first quarter of 2025.
Since the programme launched in 2015, DEWA has supplied over 39,159 megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity for EV charging in Dubai, powering vehicles for a combined distance of 195 million kilometres.
Al Tayer affirmed DEWA’s commitment to supporting green mobility and achieving net-zero emissions, highlighting the initiative’s alignment with the UAE Net Zero by 2050 Strategic Initiative and the Dubai Green Mobility Strategy 2030. These efforts contribute to reducing transport sector emissions and strengthening the UAE’s leadership in the EV industry.
EV adoption in Dubai has grown considerably, with over 39,000 electric vehicles registered by the end of Q1 2025—marking a 5.41% increase compared to the same period in 2024. The number of registered users under the EV Green Charger initiative has risen from just 14 in 2015 to 20,903 by Q1 2025. Currently, Dubai’s EV charging infrastructure includes more than 1,100 charging points operated by DEWA and other licensed charge point operators.
Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular in the UAE. A recent survey by global research firm Toluna revealed that 73% of UAE residents are inclined to purchase an EV.
DEWA’s Green Charger stations are available 24/7 at key locations across Dubai. Users can locate stations via DEWA’s website, mobile app, and 14 other digital platforms. The authority offers four types of chargers: ultra-fast, fast, public, and wall-box.
Customers can open an EV account through DEWA’s website, mobile app, or by calling its Customer Care Centre. Once a vehicle is registered with Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), DEWA automatically creates an EV Green Charger account, enabling users to charge their vehicles in less than an hour. Additionally, unregistered users can access the service via a guest mode option.
