- With a desire for higher decarbonization of transport in the United Arab Emirates, the government is expected to encourage further technological and economic improvements in electric vehicle technologies at each vehicle hybridization and electrification level.
- In the current market scenario, supportive policies are the major factor driving electric vehicle adoption. The policies enable market growth by creating consumer awareness, reducing risks for investors, and encouraging manufacturers to develop electric vehicles on a large scale. In 2022, nearly 4383 units of electric vehicles were sold in the country, increasing from 3194.0 units.
- For instance, the United Arab Emirates government plans to launch a free charging station for electric vehicles in Sharjah. The Sharjah City Municipality (SCM) and the Sharjah Electricity and Water Authority (Sewa) partnered for this project. ION, a UAE-based company, will supply, install, and operate EV charging stations in the Emirate.
- In August 2021, the Abu Dhabi Department of Energy (DoE) announced a new governance framework for charging electric vehicles (EVs) in the Emirate. It aimed to enhance vehicle-grid integration and encourage the private sector and consumer participation to scale up EV use in Abu Dhabi.
- Thus, the increasing adoption of electric vehicles is expected to hinder the growth of the UAE fuel station market.
