Abu Dhabi's EV charging infrastructure gets major boost
In a major push for sustainable transport, Abu Dhabi Mobility (Integrated Transport Centre) has announced a large-scale rollout of electric vehicle charging stations across the UAE capital. The move supports the emirate's broader goal of carbon neutrality by 2050. The first phase includes 1,000 new EV chargers at 400 key locations, from Abu Dhabi Island to Al Ain and Al Dhafra. These stations, operating under the brand name 'Charge AD', will offer standardised rates - 70 fils per kilowatt-hour for AC chargers and AED 1.20 for fast DC chargers. The project is being delivered through public-private partnerships (PPP) and aims to expand charging access even further, including in hotels and shopping centres. A number of operators have been appointed to manage the stations under PPP contracts that cover the supply, installation, operation and maintenance. Abu Dhabi Mobility says the initiative is part of a larger plan to get half of all vehicles on the road running on electricity by 2040. Dr. Abdulla Hamed Al Ghfeli, Acting Director General of the Integrated Transport Centre, called the investment a key step in building a cleaner, smarter and more energy-efficient future. Electric vehicle ownership in Abu Dhabi is already accelerating, with over 15,000 EVs registered in the first quarter of this year alone - a 60 per cent jump from 2024.
