Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) and Dubai Taxi Company (DTC) have inaugurated Dubai's first ultrafast electric vehicle charging hub, dedicated exclusively to DTC's growing fleet of electric taxis.

The new facility, located at DTC's headquarters in Muhaisnah 4, features 24 next-generation charging points, each with a capacity of 360 kW. The hub can charge 24 vehicles simultaneously in about 35 minutes, significantly reducing downtime and enabling more efficient zero-emission operations across the city.

This initiative is part of a long-term strategic agreement signed at WETEX 2025, under which DEWA and DTC plan to deploy more than 200 ultrafast EV charge points for the taxi fleet. The project supports Dubai's Green Mobility Strategy 2030 and the Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050, reinforcing the emirate's commitment to sustainability and innovation.

HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA, emphasized the importance of the partnership: "We continue to develop advanced EV charging infrastructure that reduces carbon emissions, improves air quality, and supports Dubai's vision to be the most future-ready city in the world."

HE Abdul Muhsen Ibrahim Kalbat, Chairman of DTC's Board of Directors, highlighted the company's sustainability pillar, noting that strategic partnerships are vital to DTC's growth journey. He said the collaboration reflects a shared ambition to build infrastructure that supports Dubai's smart and green future.

Mansoor Rahma Alfalasi, Group CEO of DTC, added that this hub is the first phase of a larger network of over 200 EV charging stations dedicated to DTC's fleet. He stressed that the expansion will enhance fleet efficiency, maximize vehicle availability, and meet rising customer demand for reliable, zero-emission transport services.

With this milestone, DEWA and DTC are accelerating the electrification of Dubai's taxi fleet, strengthening the city's leadership in sustainable mobility, and creating long-term value for the community and stakeholders.
