Dubai continues to accelerate its journey toward sustainable mobility, with the emirate’s EV Green Charger network surpassing 1,860 charging points. The milestone, announced by the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), highlights the rapid development of EV infrastructure across one of the world’s most forward-looking cities.

According to DEWA, the total includes both government-installed chargers and stations deployed in collaboration with public and private sector partners. This expansion reflects Dubai’s long-term commitment to reducing emissions and enabling widespread electric vehicle adoption as part of its broader Net Zero 2050 ambitions.

Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Managing Director and CEO of DEWA, confirmed that the Green Charger initiative has seen strong user growth alongside infrastructure expansion. As of mid-January 2026, more than 23,600 registered users are actively using the network. The initiative has also delivered tens of thousands of megawatt-hours of electricity since launch, reinforcing Dubai’s role as a regional leader in electric mobility.

The rapid scaling of EV infrastructure is closely tied to Dubai’s Green Mobility Strategy, which aims to increase EV adoption across residential, commercial, and public transport sectors. Authorities have continued to streamline charging accessibility across malls, business districts, highways, and residential communities, ensuring drivers can charge conveniently across the city.

Industry experts see this expansion as a strong signal for the wider Middle East. As charging availability increases, consumer confidence in electric vehicles rises, creating a virtuous cycle of adoption and investment. With supportive policies, strong public-private partnerships, and smart city planning, Dubai is positioning itself as a blueprint for EV-ready urban ecosystems.
