Are you thinking of taking the big leap and start driving an electronic vehicle (EV) in Dubai? The emirate's water and electricity authority (Dewa) issues a green charger card to facilitate the process of charging these vehicles.

Users may also link this card to their Dewa account and get the EV charging fees included in their monthly water and electricity consumption bill.

The UAE has been encouraging its residents to use EVs instead of petrol cars. Authorities are working hard to make EV charging infrastructure available as widely as possible.
