The UAE plans to install more than 500 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations by the end of 2025 to support clean transportation and reduce carbon emissions, Sharif Al Olama, Under-Secretary for Energy and Petroleum Affairs at the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, said on the sidelines of the World Government Summit.
Al Olama stated that the ministry, which holds a 50% stake in the UAEV, installed over 100 EV chargers nationwide in 2024 and is rapidly expanding the network to meet rising EV demand. The initiative involves collaboration with the private sector and local authorities to create a comprehensive infrastructure for EV adoption, aligning with the UAE’s national sustainability targets.
The ministry is also focused on expanding its renewable energy capacity, aiming to surpass 14 gigawatts by 2030 as part of its clean energy development strategy.
