DEWA and Dubai Taxi Company have inaugurated the first phase of a strategic partnership to establish a dedicated electric vehicle charging hub for DTC’s taxi fleet.
HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD and CEO of DEWA, and HE Abdul Muhsen Ibrahim Kalbat, Chairman of the DTC Group’s Board of Directors, inaugurated the hub, which features 24 next-generation ultrafast charge points of 360 KW each and is located at DTC’s headquarters in Muhaisnah 4.
The initiative forms part of a long-term strategic agreement signed at WETEX 2025 between DEWA and DTC to deploy more than 200 ultrafast EV charge points for DTC’s fleet, significantly advancing Dubai’s green mobility infrastructure.
The first phase includes an operational ultrafast EV charging hub capable of charging up to 24 vehicles simultaneously in around 35 minutes. The facility is designed to reduce vehicle downtime, improve fleet efficiency, and support the expansion of zero-emission transport operations across Dubai.
