Dubai Municipality plans 600 EV supercharging bays at parks and beaches
Dubai Municipality EV charging stations are set to expand across the city after Dubai Municipality announced supercharging points for 600 parking spaces at public parks, beaches, and recreational areas. The plan targets destination charging in municipal locations where residents and tourists spend long blocks of time.
Dubai Municipality said the rollout is backed by an AED 150 million investment to expand electric vehicle infrastructure in Dubai. The announcement links the project to sustainable mobility and quality-of-life outcomes for residents and visitors in the UAE.
This substantial AED 150 million investment is earmarked for completion by 2026, underscoring Dubai’s commitment to rapidly expanding its green mobility infrastructure.
For drivers, this provides access to charging shifts beyond malls and private sites into public leisure destinations managed by Dubai Municipality. This can reduce reliance on home chargers for apartment residents and older buildings where private charging is limited.
The ambitious project will commence with an initial phase seeing 75 charging stations deployed over the next two years, setting the groundwork for the broader network. Expect on-site bay allocation changes as these spaces are converted for EV charging use in municipal car parks.
Quick Intel
- Scale: 600 parking spaces are planned for EV supercharging points across Dubai Municipality parks, beaches, and recreational areas.
- Budget: AED 150 million investment was reported for the Dubai EV infrastructure expansion.
- Where it hits first: Public parks and beaches in Dubai, not private developments, which shifts charging access to municipal leisure zones.
- Resident impact: More public charging options for people without home chargers, especially apartment residents, plus easier charging for rental EV users visiting beaches and parks.
EV drivers should watch for new EV-only bay markings at Dubai Municipality parks and beaches and plan weekend trips around these 600 designated charging spaces once activated.
