Dubai announces parking lots that include charging for electric cars
The number of electric vehicles in Dubai had surpassed 30,000 by the time April 2024 came to a close, according to Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, the MD and CEO of Dewa. In the years to come, it is anticipated that this number will continue to rise... Additionally, the number of consumers who have registered for the Electric Vehicle Green Charger project has climbed to more than 15,000 by the beginning of March 2024.
Earlier, Parkin had stated that it is investigating potential avenues for monetization inside the electric vehicle industry. Our parking facilities will play a significant role in assisting the transition to electric cars (EVs) because of the amount of time it takes to recharge vehicles that run on renewable energy. The enormous parking network that we have (will) make charging services easily accessible, which will serve to encourage the use of electric vehicles.
The introduction of electric vehicle charging as a component of our facilities is a complimentary strategy to our expansion plan, and it represents a substantial potential to extend the capabilities of our platform.
Within the city of Dubai, the firm manages more than 197,000 parking spots.
Beginning in 2015 and continuing until the end of March 2024, the EV Green Charger program has been responsible for powering a total distance of nearly 130 million kilometers traveled by electric vehicles.
Dewa will generate an EV Green Charger account for consumers once they have registered their electric vehicle (EV) with the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in Dubai. This will allow customers to charge their EV within an hour time frame. All clients, including those who have not yet registered, are able to charge their electric vehicles by utilizing the guest mode option.
