"At the time of the launch of the EV Green Charger Initiative, approximately four years ago, there were limited electric vehicles in Dubai, mainly due to a lack of EV charging infrastructure. Dewa, as the electricity provider for Dubai, took the lead in setting up the first EV charging infrastructure to encourage the public to use environmentally-friendly vehicles," he said.
Dewa has strengthened its cooperation with leading real estate developers in Dubai such as Meraas, Nakheel and Majid Al Futtaim Group by installing EV Green Chargers at their leading projects and shopping malls such as the Mall of the Emirates, Ibn Battuta, La Mer, The Outlet Village, City Walk and a number of other featured locations in Palm Jumeirah.
"Dewa is currently working on the implementation of the Dubai Green Mobility initiative to promote the use of electric and hybrid vehicles. This supports the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 for Dubai to have the lowest carbon footprint in the world by 2050. Our efforts in installing additional EV Green Charger stations throughout Dubai complements the work of the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy. The incentives announced by the Council will encourage individuals and community members to use electric vehicles and sustainable modes of transportation," Al Tayer said.
"As part of these incentives, Dewa's registered users can charge their vehicles at the EV Green Charger stations free of cost. This incentive will last until the end of 2019 and will be exclusive to public charging stations and does not include home charging stations. In line with the Smart Dubai initiative, Dewa provides free registration for the EV Green Charger service through its smart app on IOS and Android platforms and its website. These smart channels also provide information on the latest EV Green Charger station locations, which are constantly updated to ensure the delivery of best services for customers," Al Tayer noted.
"The Dubai Supreme Council of Energy is working to increase the percentage of electric and hybrid cars in Dubai. It has issued directive number 1 of year 2016 to set a target for the government. Therefore, at least 10% of all newly-purchased cars will be electric or hybrid from 2016 to 2020. The proportion of electric and hybrid cars will rise to 2 per cent by 2020, and 10per cent by 2030," Al Tayer stated.
Dewa is organising Wetex 2018 from October 23 to 25, at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre (DICEC) under the theme 'At the forefront of sustainability'.
