Mar 04, 2025
Over 250 new electric vehicle (EV) charging stations are set to be installed across Dubai in 2025. As part of a partnership between Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) and Parkin, the emirate's largest provider of paid public parking, these stations will be strategically placed to boost accessibility for EV users in high-density residential and commercial areas.
Slated for deployment in the first quarter of 2025, the new chargers will operate on alternating current (AC) with a capacity of 22 kilowatts, each serving two parking spaces ensuring efficient charging for users. Select on-street parking locations in zones A and C will host these new units, offering a seamless payment experience through Parkin's app and digital wallet, integrating both charging and parking fees in one transaction.
DEWA's EV Green Charger network, launched in 2014, currently features around 740 charging points, with a goal to reach 1,000 by the end of this year.

Parkin and CAFU Launch Region's First On‑Demand Fuel and Car Wash Service Across the Company's Parking Portfolio
Parkin Company PJSC 'Parkin' or the 'Company', the largest provider of paid public parking facilities and services in Dubai, has entered a strategic partnership with CAFU, a world leading on demand fuel delivery and vehicle services platform, to deliver convenient, value-added automative services directly to Parkin's customers across its parking portfolio. As part of the agreement, CAFU will offer on-demand fuel delivery and car wash services for vehicles parked at the Company's parking facilities. The collaboration forms part of Parkin's broader growth strategy to expand its integrated service offering. Parkin customers will be able to request fuel delivery or a car wash by clicking on the link sent through SMS / WhatsApp and, in the near future, directly through Parkin's mobile app, while CAFU users may continue to access the services via the CAFU app as usual. Beyond offering simplicity and convenience, delivering these services directly to customers will help reduce the need for multiple individual trips to fuel stations and car washes, helping to reduce traffic congestion and associated direct and indirect emissions. The pressurised wash system helps to reduce water consumption, reinforcing both companies' commitment to the UAE's Green Agenda 2030 and their role in driving a more sustainable future. Powered by a unified system integrating both platforms, the refuelling and car wash services are scheduled to launch on Thursday, 14 August 2025. The long-term agreement reflects Parkin and CAFU's shared commitment to innovation, digital integration and customer-centric service delivery. The partnership is expected to generate annual revenues of AED 5 to 7 million for Parkin, with no capital investment required, highlighting the strong commercial viability of the alliance. Eng. Mohamed Abdulla Al Ali, CEO of Parkin, commented: 'This unique partnership with CAFU marks a significant achievement in our mission to enhance the Parkin customer experience. By offering on-demand fuel delivery and car wash services, delivered directly to vehicles parked in our spaces, we are turning idle parking time into a moment of convenience. Expanding our portfolio of value-added services is a key pillar of our growth strategy and this collaboration reflects our commitment to delivering innovative, time-saving solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers. The agreement serves to underscore our ambition to transform Parkin into an integrated, customer focused, mobility platform, powered by digital innovation and meaningful partnerships. We are proud to join forces with CAFU, a homegrown technology leader, as we continue to shape the future of urban mobility in Dubai.' Rashid Al Ghurair, Founder and CEO of CAFU, commented: 'At CAFU, we have never just been about fuelling cars. Our mission is to reinvent what it means to own one. Smarter. Simpler. Seamless. Partnering with Parkin takes that mission straight to where our customers already are, in the very heart of the city's parking network. Now, topping up your tank or getting your car washed to perfection is not another task on your to-do list; it happens while you are parked up at one of Parkin's locations. This is not just convenience, this is a much-needed step towards transforming urban car care into an effortless part of everyday life.'

24-Hour Paid Parking at Dubai Mosques Starts in August
Starting August, Parkin will manage 24-hour paid parking at 59 Dubai mosques, offering worshippers one hour of free parking during prayers. Jul 31, 2025 Paid parking will be introduced at 59 mosques across Dubai starting in August, following an agreement between the Islamic Affairs & Charitable Activities Department (IACAD) and Parkin, the government-owned company responsible for managing public parking across the city. The new system will see 2,100 parking spaces brought under round-the-clock paid regulation, with one hour of free parking provided to worshippers during prayer times. The designated spaces will be divided between Zone M (standard) and Zone MP (premium), with 41 mosques falling under the standard category and 18 under the premium. In both zones, standard rates apply outside peak hour - AED 2 for 30 minutes and AED 4 for an hour - while Zone MP will charge AED 3 for 30 minutes and AED 6 for an hour during peak hours. The initiative aims to reduce misuse of mosque parking by non-visitors and improve accessibility for worshippers. Under the revenue-sharing agreement, Parkin's private parking portfolio will grow to 20,800 spaces. Additional mosques under IACAD may be included in future expansions. Although the contract is expected to generate income, it is not considered financially significant in the context of Parkin's broader operations. The company currently manages around 209,000 paid parking spaces across Dubai, including 19,000 developer-owned bays and barrierless systems at several malls. Its revenue streams include enforcement, seasonal permits, reservations, and commercial services.
