What is the DEWA EV Green Charger Programme?
The Dubai Electricity & Water Authority (DEWA) launched its EV Green Charger programme to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles across Dubai. The programme provides a regulatory framework for installing Level 2 (AC) and DC Fast Chargers at residential, commercial, and public locations throughout the emirate.
As of 2026, there are over 3,000 DEWA-approved public charging points across Dubai, with the authority targeting 10,000 chargers by 2030 as part of the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy.

- Villa owners installing a private home charger
- Building developers adding chargers to apartment complex parking
