Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) has launched the “Dubai EV Community Hub” website for Dubai, aiming to increase electric vehicle (EV) adoption by centralising information regarding EV developments in Dubai.

This is part of DEWA’s efforts to encourage the use of sustainable transport and consolidate Dubai’s position as a global capital for a green economy and sustainable development.

The EV Community Hub website covers the latest government strategies, targets, incentives, and relevant regulations for EVs. It also provides information on the latest EV models in the UAE, charging station standards, installation and locations, as well as available insurance plans and green auto loans for purchasing EVs.

Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD and CEO of Dewa, said, “At Dewa, we support Dubai’s efforts to reduce emissions of the transport sector through the use of green mobility solutions, especially since Dubai is a global logistics hub for transport. Increasing the use of electric vehicles in Dubai will help to improve air quality, reduce tailpipe emissions, noise pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. As a member of the Dubai Green Mobility Committee and the sole electricity provider in Dubai, Dewa works closely with government organisations and private stakeholders to support EV adoption within Dubai.” He added that it also enhances pioneering government partnerships that use digital integration, in addition to providing innovative and environmentally friendly solutions to reduce emissions in the transport sector as part of the Dubai Green Mobility Strategy 2030.
