Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) and Parkin Company PJSC are set to expand the city’s electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure with new charging stations slated for deployment in the first quarter of 2025, the companies announced on Monday.
As part of the project’s first phase, DEWA will install dual-port 22-kilowatt alternating current (AC) charging stations at prime locations managed by Parkin, Dubai’s largest public parking operator. The chargers will be placed in high-density residential zones A and C, targeting areas with limited or no existing EV charging facilities.
The move aligns with Dubai’s Green Mobility Strategy 2030 and broader sustainability goals, with officials highlighting the project’s role in accelerating EV adoption and reducing carbon emissions in the transport sector.
The latest deployment will contribute to DEWA’s ongoing efforts to expand its EV Green Charger network, which currently includes around 740 charging points across Dubai. The utility aims to reach 1,000 stations by the end of 2025.
“We continue to strengthen green mobility by encouraging eco-friendly electric vehicles, directly supporting Dubai’s vision for sustainability,” Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, CEO of DEWA, said in a statement. “This initiative will enhance charging accessibility and offer a seamless, state-of-the-art user experience.”
Customers will be able to pay for both charging and parking via Parkin’s mobile app, simplifying transactions and enhancing convenience for EV owners.
The project is expected to increase utilisation rates at Parkin-operated parking spaces, generating additional revenue and reinforcing Dubai’s position as a regional leader in smart mobility infrastructure.
“As the market leader in parking operations and technology, Parkin plays a pivotal role in enabling Dubai’s transition to EVs,” said Mohamed Al Ali, CEO of Parkin. “The rollout of green chargers in key locations will unlock new growth opportunities and incentivise EV adoption across the emirate.”
Dubai’s investment in EV infrastructure comes amid a surge in global electric vehicle sales and growing regulatory pressure to curb emissions. The UAE has positioned itself as a key player in clean energy investment, with policies aimed at making Dubai a leading global destination for sustainable urban living.
