UAEV, the UAE’s first government-owned EV charging network, is rolling out new tariffs and a mobile app in January 2025 to enhance the charging experience and support the country’s shift toward sustainable transportation.
Starting next year, EV drivers will pay standardised fees of Dh1.2/kWh + VAT for DC chargers and Dh0.70/kWh + VAT for AC chargers. This marks a significant step for UAEV, which has kept charging services free since the tariffs were first announced in May 2024. The new pricing is designed to ensure fairness while maintaining the network’s quality and reliability.
To make EV driving even easier, UAEV is launching a mobile app with features like station location, live updates, and seamless payment options. A 24/7 call centre will also be available to provide instant assistance, ensuring a hassle-free experience for drivers.
“This marks a transformative step in the UAE’s journey towards sustainable transportation,” said Sharif al Olama, Chairman of UAEV. “The implementation of standardised charging tariffs and the launch of innovative solutions like the UAEV app and 24/7 support reflect our ongoing commitment to enhancing the EV driver experience. By expanding our network and aligning with the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 Strategy, we are driving a cleaner, greener future for all.”
By 2030, UAEV plans to install 1,000 chargers across cities, highways, and transit points nationwide, making it easier than ever for drivers to power up wherever they are. The network will ensure coverage across all emirates, catering to both local and long-distance travel needs.
