UAEV, the UAE’s first government-owned electric vehicle (EV) charging network, has announced the launch of the nation’s first EV-only charging station. As part of its broader expansion plans, the company also aims to roll out approximately 1,000 charging stations. These will be spread across the country by 2030.
The facility will feature green landscaping, fountains, and an automatic queuing system. It will offer a modern and efficient experience for EV users.
UAEV plans to launch the first station in Ajman later this year and open a second location in Dubai in 2026. The new site will accommodate around 20 EVs at a time. It will provide next-generation ultra-fast charging units capable of recharging vehicles in as little as 10 minutes. This is significantly faster than current charging times, which can range from approximately 18 minutes to eight hours.
Heiko Seitz, Global and Middle East eMobility Leader at PwC, added: “People need to be aware that this is actually a positive product, a product that gives them a certain lifestyle, that gives them convenience.”
The initiative represents a major milestone in enhancing the UAE’s EV infrastructure and promoting a cleaner, more sustainable future.
