Parkin Partners with DEWA to Boost EV Charging Infrastructure in Dubai

Parkin Company PJSC (Parkin), Dubai’s largest provider of paid public parking facilities, has announced an enhanced partnership with Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) to expand electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across the emirate.

This initiative is part of Dubai’s ongoing commitment to green mobility and sustainability.

As part of the first phase, DEWA will install new EV Green Charger stations in the first quarter of 2025. The stations will operate on alternating current (AC) with a capacity of 22 kilowatts x 2, enabling two vehicles to charge simultaneously. Strategically located across prime parking sites managed by Parkin, the charging stations will primarily serve high-density residential communities in zones A and C, where access to EV charging facilities is currently limited.

Customers will benefit from a seamless payment experience, with both the EV charging tariff and parking fee payable through Parkin’s app and linked digital wallet. This streamlined process aims to improve user convenience and encourage EV adoption.

Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD and CEO of DEWA, emphasized that the initiative aligns with the Dubai Green Mobility Strategy 2030 and the Dubai Social Agenda 33, positioning Dubai as a leading global destination for sustainable living. Eng Mohamed Al Ali, CEO of Parkin, highlighted the company’s commitment to enabling EV transition and unlocking new growth opportunities through advanced infrastructure.

DEWA currently operates around 740 EV Green Charger points across Dubai, with plans to expand the network to 1,000 charging stations by the end of 2024. The partnership between Parkin and DEWA marks a significant step toward supporting the UAE’s climate goals and promoting sustainable mobility across the city.
