The United Arab Emirates is making big moves in electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure. By the end of 2025, more than 500 new EV charging stations will be installed across the country, helping meet the growing demand for sustainable transportation.
With over 34,000 electric cars already on Dubai’s roads in 2024, the shift toward cleaner mobility is clear. To keep up with this trend, Sharif Al Olama, Under-Secretary for Energy and Petroleum Affairs at the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, has confirmed the expansion of the charging network.
Last year, the government announced plans to install over 1,000 new EV charging stations by 2030. More than half of that number expected to be in place within the next two years. In 2024, 100 stations were added, and now the pace is accelerating.
The UAE’s plan involves working closely with the private sector and local authorities to build an efficient, widespread charging network. This will make it easier for EV drivers to travel confidently without worrying about finding a charging point.
In addition to expanding charging infrastructure, the UAE is also increasing its renewable energy capacity. By 2030, the country aims to generate over 14 gigawatts of clean energy, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability.
