UAE Electric Vehicle Market Overview, 2027

"The United Arab Emirates has a strong sense of collective duty and community. This attitude extends to the encouragement of environmentally friendly behaviours, such as the use of electric automobiles. The country has committed to pursuing ambitious policies geared towards ensuring the country is carbon neutral in fewer than three decades. Alongside a raft of measures under the Net Zero 2050 Charter and UAE Vision 2021 initiatives, a key element of this Dh600 billion strategy involves encouraging the adoption of electric vehicles, or EVs. Powertech Mobility is one of the UAE's key providers of EV infrastructure. As far as alternative power sources are concerned, the UAE is set to launch its National Hydrogen Strategy imminently. Increasing environmental consciousness is influencing the culture surrounding electric vehicles in the UAE. As people become more aware of the impact of traditional fossil-fueled vehicles on air pollution and climate change, there is a growing appreciation for the benefits of electric vehicles in reducing emissions and promoting sustainability. This awareness is leading to a cultural shift towards embracing electric vehicles as a cleaner and more eco-friendly alternative.

The UAE Electric Vehicle Market is the most popular and lucrative market, and it will remain popular and lucrative in the years to come as many developments are happening in the sector. The UAE electric vehicle market is currently in its early stages and has witnessed certain growth during the period 2018–2021, owing to the Electric Vehicle (EV) Green Charger initiative undertaken by the government of the UAE. The UAE government introduced a green vehicle registration initiative where EV owners receive distinctive green-coloured licence plates. This allows for easy identification and recognition of electric vehicles on the roads. Additionally, the UAE government offers various incentives and exemptions to encourage the purchase and use of electric vehicles. These include exemption from vehicle registration fees, reduced or waived toll fees on certain roads and bridges, and discounted or free parking in public areas. Although the UAE government has been investing in charging infrastructure, there is still a need for further expansion and accessibility. EV owners may face challenges finding charging stations, especially in remote areas or less developed regions. Expanding the charging network is crucial to alleviating range anxiety and promoting wider EV adoption.
