Currently, there are 370 stations, and this number is projected to reach 1,000 by 2025
Residents of Dubai are applauding government’s decision to substantially enhance the public charging infrastructure for electric vehicles in the emirate. The authorities have set a target of increasing the number of charging stations by 170 per cent in the coming years. This move has been met with widespread approval from residents, as it aligns Dubai’s commitment to providing a compelling eco-friendly dimension to its world-leading driving experience. By expanding the electric vehicle (EV) charging network through this ambitious plan, Dubai aims to attract a larger customer base and further establish itself as a global leader in promoting eco-friendly transportation.
Dr Khaled Mahmoud Abdelhamid Aboeldahab, CEO, Burjeel Darak for LTC and Rehab, said: “The rise in the number of charging stations is a positive development, especially considering the previous challenges we faced in finding a charging point. Introducing more fast charging stations to save time and make electric vehicle (EV) usage more convenient is crucial. As someone who regularly commutes for over an hour to and from my workplace, the switch to an EV has allowed me to save approximately Dhs 3,000 per month. Initially, I encountered difficulties locating a charging station, but I was fortunate to get one installed at Burjeel Medical City. I have also set up a charging station at my home, further enhancing the ease and accessibility of charging my EV.”
