UAEV, the UAE's first state-owned electric vehicle (EV) charging network, announced the adoption of EV tariffs recently introduced by the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, effective from January 2025.
While these tariffs mark an important step towards increasing the sustainability and scalability of the network, it is worth noting that EV charging services have been free since the charges were first announced last May. This milestone initiative reflects UAEV's commitment to ensuring quality of service, equal access to its network, and alignment with the UAE's vision for a sustainable future.
From January 2025, EV users will benefit from transparent and standardized charging charges. The tariff is set at 1.2 DHS/kWh + VAT for DC chargers and 0.70 DHS/kWh + VAT for AC chargers, ensuring a fair and consistent price while supporting the operational excellence of the network.
To enhance the EV driving experience, UAEV is introducing its user-friendly mobile application. The app will provide features like easily finding your next charging station, live status updates, and simple payments, empowering EV users with the tools they need to effectively navigate the charging network.
Complementing the app, UAEV is launching a dedicated 24/7 call center to provide immediate support and assistance, ensuring seamless user experiences at all times.
“This marks a transformative step in the UAE's journey towards sustainable transport,” said UAEV Chairman Sharif Al Olama. “The implementation of standardized charging tariffs and the launch of innovative solutions such as the UAEV app and 24/7 support reflect our continued commitment to enhancing the EV driver experience. By expanding our network and aligning with the UAE's Net Zero 2050 strategy, we are on a journey towards a cleaner, greener future for all.” we are
By 2030, UAEV's network will have 1,000 chargers strategically located in urban hubs, highways, and transit points within the UAE. The main locations will be spread across all emirates, ensuring equal access for both city and inter-city EV users.
Aligned with the UAE's Net Zero 2050 strategy, UAEV is committed to advocating for sustainable transport and reducing carbon emissions. By providing high-speed charging solutions, real-time network uptime monitoring, and strategically placed charging stations, UAEV empowers EV drivers and promotes green mobility across the country.
UAEV offers an integrated charging solution ecosystem designed to meet diverse user needs. Focusing on reliability, accessibility and innovation, UAEV reinforces its role as a key enabler of the UAE's green transition.
