The UAE has taken a major step to encourage electric vehicle adoption by introducing residential EV charging incentives along with new tariff regulations effective January 2025. These changes aim to make home EV charging more affordable and efficient, supporting the country’s sustainability goals and growing EV infrastructure.Â
Â
Homeowners now have access to reduced electricity rates for EV charging and financial assistance for installing compliant home chargers, while the approval process for residential EV charger installations has been streamlined for convenience.
Understanding the New Tariff Structure
Starting in 2025, the UAE has standardized EV charging tariffs to ensure fair usage and energy efficiency.Â
Â
DC fast charging is set at AED 1.20 per kWh plus VAT, while AC home charging is priced at AED 0.70 per kWh plus VAT.Â
Â
Previously, many public and residential EV chargers offered free electricity, but the new rates reflect the need for sustainable energy management as EV adoption grows. These tariffs are designed to encourage off-peak charging, helping homeowners save on energy costs while supporting grid stability.Â
Â
The new rules also align with the UAE Tariff guidelines, ensuring safe and efficient residential EV charging.
