Abu Dhabi To Install 1000 New EV Charging Stations

Abu Dhabi is making a major investment in EV infrastructure. In its initial phase, the project will see 1,000 new charging stations installed at 400 key locations across Abu Dhabi Island, Al Ain, and Al Dhafra. The emirate also plans to increase the number of stations annually in line with demand. The announcement was made by Abu Dhabi Mobility.

The new charging stations will operate under the unified brand name Charge AD. Charging tariffs at these stations are set at AED 0.70 per kilowatt-hour for AC chargers and AED 1.20 per kilowatt-hour for fast DC chargers. Through collaborations, the network will be expanded to provide charging points at locations including hotels and shopping centres.

Over 15,000 electric vehicles were registered in Abu Dhabi in the first quarter of 2025, indicating a fast-growing adoption rate. This figure also marks a 60% surge compared to the same period last year. Abu Dhabi Mobility targets having 50% electric vehicles on its roads by 2040, aligning with the UAE's vision to achieve carbon neutrality.
