Owners of electric vehicles in Dubai have benefited significantly from charging stations across the emirate, enabling them to travel more than 58 million kilometres since 2015 while cutting refuelling costs by about three quarters, the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority said.

The utility's EV Green Charger initiative has provided more than 8,800 megawatt-hours – equivalent to the annual energy capture of some wind turbines – to its users, Dewa said in a statement on the Dubai Media Office website on Monday.

Dewa's charging network has increased to 325 stations, equivalent to more than 560 charge points, as use of EVs across the emirate grows. The number of registered vehicles in Dubai rose to 5,107 as of January 31, 2022, from 71 on December 31, 2015.
