The United Arab Emirates (UAE) plans to install more than 500 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations by the end of 2025. Sharif Al Olama, the UAE’s Under-Secretary for Energy and Petroleum Affairs at the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, announced the initiative, designed to support clean transport and reduce carbon emissions.
Al Olama stated that the ministry had already installed more than 100 charging stations across the country in 2024. He highlighted the rapid expansion of the network in response to increasing demand for electric vehicles. This is reported by Emirates News Agency (WAM), a partner of TV BRICS.
According to Al Olama, the initiative is being implemented through cooperation with the private sector and local governments. The integrated approach aims to provide the reliable infrastructure necessary for the widespread adoption of electric vehicles.
Al Olama also said the ministry plans to increase renewable energy capacity to more than 14 gigawatts by 2030. This is part of a broader strategy to develop clean energy sources within the UAE.
