The network will be installed at strategic residential, retail, and leisure locations to optimise accessibility. Phase one will see 20 stations installed in high-traffic areas, with the full network of 200 chargers operational within the next twelve months, the companies state. The charging service will integrate with Parkin’s mobile app, offering real-time updates and secure in-app payments.
“This 10-year partnership with charge&go is a clear example of our commitment to providing cleaner, greener tech-driven mobility solutions,” said Parkin CEO Eng. Mohamed Abdulla Al Ali. “Both Parkin and e& [the parent company of charge&go] share a commitment to leveraging technology to meet the needs of our digitally savvy clients, supporting Dubai’s ongoing transformation into a global, sustainable and future-ready city.”
Muammar Al Rukhaimi, CEO of Etisalat Services Holding, added: “Dubai is rewriting the playbook on how big cities can embrace sustainability at scale, and this EV charging rollout marks a decisive step forward. At e&, we are deploying cutting-edge technology that delivers real-world impact, ensuring quicker charging turnarounds and a superior customer experience.”
The project follows a memorandum of understanding signed in October 2024. Parkin operates approximately 212,000 paid parking spaces in Dubai and will implement a ‘park and charge’ protocol to ensure that charging bays are only occupied while vehicles are actively charging, preventing overstay and unauthorised use.
