There’s more incentive for motorists in Dubai to switch to electric cars.

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has announced that all public charging stations in the emirate will be free for another two years.

This applies to non-commercial drivers who are registered under the EV Green Charger Initiative.

The free charging scheme was introduced in September 2017 but it was due to expire this year.
