The UAE has announced the costs for electric vehicle charging after months of free service at government-owned stations.
UAEV, the UAE’s first government-owned electric vehicle charging network, announced the adoption of the recently introduced EV tariffs by the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure.
The new fees will be effective from January, 2025.

The tariffs mark an important step towards enhancing the sustainability and scalability of the network. The EV charging services have been free-of-charge since the tariffs were first announced last May.
This milestone initiative reflects UAEV’s commitment to ensuring service quality, equitable access to its network, and alignment with the UAE’s vision for a sustainable future.
From January 2025, EV users will benefit from transparent and standardized charging fees.
The tariff is set at:
- AED1.2/kWh + VAT for DC chargers
- AED0.70/kWh + VAT for AC chargers
This ensured fair and consistent pricing while supporting the operational excellence of the network.
To enhance the EV driving experience, UAEV is introducing its user-friendly mobile application.
The app will provide features such as easily finding your next charging station, live status updates, and simple payments, empowering EV users with essential tools to navigate the charging network effectively.
Complementing the app, UAEV is launching a dedicated 24/7 call centre to provide instant support and assistance, ensuring seamless user experiences at all times.
