Regeny launches fast-charging EV hub near DXB Airport
Press release:
Regeny EV Charging, a leading electric vehicle (EV) charging network operator in the UAE, has officially launched a major fast-charging hub at the Mövenpick Grand Hotel Al Bustan— strategically positioned near Dubai International Airport (DXB). Equipped with four state-of-the-art 160 kW DC ultra-fast chargers, the facility is designed to serve the high-volume traffic corridor surrounding one of the world’s busiest aviation hubs, providing rapid, reliable charging for both private and commercial EV users.
A Boost for EV Mobility in the UAE
Electric vehicle adoption in the UAE is accelerating at an unprecedented pace. In 2024 alone, nearly 24,000 electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles were sold in the country, making it one of the fastest-growing EV markets in the Gulf region. H1 2025 figures show EVs accounting for approximately 7.7% of total new vehicle sales, while consumer surveys indicate that more than half of UAE residents are now choosing to buy or lease EVs due to lower running costs and environmental benefits. Forward-looking estimates suggest that EVs could represent roughly 15% of all new vehicle sales in the Emirates by 2030, signalling strong momentum towards wider adoption and a cleaner transportation future.
Policy Leadership Driving EV Growth
The UAE Federal Government and Dubai authorities have launched a series of strategic initiatives designed to accelerate EV adoption:
- National Electric Vehicles Policy — establishing unified technical standards and supportive frameworks for EV infrastructure deployment across the UAE.
- Dubai EV Green Charger Initiative—led by Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), aiming to grow the city’s public charging network significantly.
- Standardised EV charging tariffs were introduced nationwide, ensuring transparent and consistent pricing for DC and AC charging.
- Fleet Electrification Regulation – requiring fleet operators of taxis, limousines, and commercial vehicles to progressively include electric vehicles in their fleets.
These initiatives reflect a strong commitment from government partners to expand charging infrastructure, reduce range anxiety, and foster an ecosystem conducive to EV uptake.
Regeny’s Role in Enabling the Transition through Partnership with Movenpick Grand Al Bustan
As one of the UAE’s homegrown EV charging leaders, Regeny aims to close infrastructure gaps and enable widespread, practical adoption of electric transport. Its public charging network supports both individual motorists and fleet operators with fast, dependable charging across key urban and transport nodes.
