It also provides information on the latest EV models in the UAE, charging station standards, installation and locations, as well as available insurance plans and green auto loans for purchasing EVs.

Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD and CEO of DEWA, said, “As a member of the Dubai Green Mobility Committee and the sole electricity provider in Dubai, DEWA works closely with government organizations and private stakeholders to support EV adoption within Dubai.”

He added that it also enhances pioneering government partnerships that use digital integration.

This is in addition to providing innovative and environmentally friendly solutions to reduce emissions in the transport sector as part of the Dubai Green Mobility Strategy 2030.

DEWA provides a robust charging infrastructure for electric vehicles across Dubai with over 325 charging stations.

These are available to customers registered for the EV Green Charger service and non-registered customers who can use the guest mode feature at the charging station.
