DEWA Green Charger Network Crosses 1,000 Active Outlets
Dubai's public EV charging footprint passed 1,000 active outlets in May 2026, with CCS2 now the dominant DC-fast standard across the network — a turning point for Chinese export-spec EVs that ship with CCS2 ports natively.
DEWA, Dubai's utility provider, reports its Green Charger network passed the 1,000 active outlet mark in May 2026. The deployment concentrates DC fast chargers along Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, Al Khail Road, and across major retail nodes — Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates, City Walk. The UAE federal target remains 42,000 charging points nationwide by 2030, set by the UAE Ministry of Energy & Infrastructure.
Critically for cross-border imports: the public network has standardised on CCS2 for DC fast charging and Type 2 for AC. The legacy GB/T (Chinese domestic) standard is not represented in the public network and requires an adapter on the user side.
Export-spec Chinese EVs from 2023 onwards — including NIO ET5T, BYD Han EV, ZEEKR 001, Xiaomi SU7 Pro/Max — ship with CCS2 ports natively and plug-and-play into the DEWA network. Domestic-trim units from 2021–2022 require a GB/T → CCS2 adapter.
