New EV Charging Prices Announced In The UAE: Free EV Charging Could End From September

The UAE has taken a significant step towards boosting electric vehicle (EV) adoption with the introduction of unified EV charging prices. The new fee structure, outlined in Cabinet Resolution No. 81 of 2024, aims to standardise the cost of charging EVs across the country.

New Slow & Fast EV Charging Fees

Previously, EV charging prices varied widely among service providers, creating confusion and uncertainty for EV owners. The new regulations introduce a clear pricing framework, ensuring transparency and fairness.?

Under the new system, service providers must charge a minimum of AED 1.20 plus VAT per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for 'express' charging and a minimum of AED 0.70 plus VAT per kWh for 'slow' charging. The new fee is expected to be effective from 6 September 2024. Here is a detailed guide to EV charging stations in the UAE .

Benefits Of Unified EV Charging Fee

While the introduction of standardised EV charging prices is expected to lead to slightly higher costs for some users, it offers several benefits. First, it simplifies the charging process for EV owners, eliminating the need to compare prices across different charging stations.?

Second, it promotes fair competition among service providers, encouraging them to focus on improving charging infrastructure and customer service rather than solely on price.

Moreover, the unified pricing structure is expected to stimulate the growth of the EV charging network in the UAE.
