As part of its energy transition, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has committed to having 50% electric and hybrid vehicles on the road by 2050, as agreed upon at the 28th UN Climate Change Conference (COP28).
Moreover, by 2030, the United Arab Emirates aims to have 10,000 EV charging stations installed, a significant rise from the 914 stations that will be accessible in 2023.
