Story details

WAM reported on 21 October that UAEV and Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) had signed an agreement to develop and deploy electric-vehicle charging infrastructure in designated parking areas at DWTC and Dubai Exhibition Centre. The agreement was signed during WETEX 2026 and is aimed at visitors, businesses and commercial fleets using the venues.

The first deployment phase at DWTC is planned to cover four locations. The announcement did not specify charger numbers, power ratings, construction dates or the timetable for Dubai Exhibition Centre, so the agreement establishes a rollout plan rather than a completed network.
