UAEV launches first ever EV-only charging station
As electric vehicle adoption continues to grow in the United Arab Emirates, UAEV has announced the launch of its first-ever EV-only charging station in the country, set to open this year. The network also plans to roll out over 1,000 charging stations across the UAE by 2030.
According to the company, the station will feature green landscaping, fountains, and an automatic queuing system. It will be able to accommodate approximately 20 EVs at a time and is set to launch in Ajman later this year, with another station expected to open in Dubai in 2026.
Hicham Ezzahid, chief executive of UAEV, stated: “This is a first-of-its-kind in the UAE.” Heiko Seitz, global and Middle East eMobility leader at PwC, commented: “People need to be aware that this is actually a positive product, a product that gives them a certain lifestyle, that gives them convenience.”
UAEV aims to provide high-speed EV charging units equipped with next-generation ultra-fast chargers, capable of delivering a seamless charging experience in as little as 10 minutes.
Significantly faster than the current charging times, which range from approximately 18 minutes to eight hours.
