Abu Dhabi EV Charging Network Activates 332 Charging Points Across the Emirate
Abu Dhabi has activated 332 electric vehicle (EV) charging points across public parking areas, making it easier for motorists to charge their vehicles while parked.
The Abu Dhabi EV Charging Network is being developed by the Integrated Transport Centre (Abu Dhabi Mobility) in collaboration with Q Mobility. A total of 244 charging units are now operational under the first phase of the project.
The initial rollout covers Abu Dhabi City, Al Ain and the Al Dhafra Region. It forms part of a wider plan to install 1,000 charging units across 405 locations in 10 main areas.
The network includes standard 22 kW chargers and fast chargers with capacities ranging from 60 kW to 160 kW.
The project aims to expand significantly in the coming years. By 2032, Abu Dhabi plans to provide 4,500 charging units with more than 9,000 charging points across approximately 2,250 locations. ChargePoint, Tatweer Middle East & Africa and Loop Global are participating in the project.
EV owners can access the charging service by scanning the QR code displayed on the charging units. They can then download the relevant application, locate charging stations, check connector compatibility and view approved charging tariffs.
Motorists should also note that standard Mawaqif parking fees apply to designated charging bays. Charging services have separate tariffs set by the station operators.
Drivers must move their vehicles once charging is complete so that other EV users can access the facilities. The expansion is part of Abu Dhabi’s efforts to improve public charging infrastructure and encourage the adoption of electric vehicles across the emirate.
