EV Charger Approval and Installation in Dubai
An EV charger connected to the DEWA network needs to meet DEWA's requirements, and in an apartment or managed building it also needs the building owner's agreement. The existing supply has to be able to carry the charger without overloading the board.
As a DEWA approved contractor in Dubai, we check the supply, recommend a suitable charger rating, handle the approvals and install the charger with the correct protection and cabling.

How long does it take?
A villa installation within existing capacity is usually straightforward. Apartments and commercial sites take longer because of building approvals and, sometimes, load increases.
Common questions
Can I install any charger I buy online?
The charger should meet DEWA's requirements for chargers connected to its network. Check with us before buying so the model can be approved.
Will I need more power from DEWA?
Not always. It depends on the charger rating and your existing load. The survey shows whether an additional load approval is needed.
Can chargers be installed in apartment car parks?
Often yes, with the building management's approval and a suitable supply to the parking level.
