Parkin Co. PJSC, a prominent provider of paid public parking services in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, has partnered with charge&go, a subsidiary of Etisalat Services Holding, to boost Dubai's electric vehicle infrastructure.
This 10-year agreement aims to install 200 ultrafast DC charging stations by October, significantly reducing charging times to under 30 minutes. The EV charging stations will be installed at key locations, such as residential areas, retail spots and leisure centers, to cater to over 40,000 EVs in the city. This initiative aligns with Dubai's 2040 urban master plan and its goals for sustainable development and green mobility.
The first phase will see the installation of 20 charging stations in Dubai's busiest areas, followed by 200 public and private charging points over the next year. DC charger technology, being faster than AC systems, promises enhanced customer service and a better user experience. Users will be able to reserve charging slots, access real-time updates and make payments via Parkin's mobile application.
The CEOs of Parkin and Etisalat Services Holding expressed their commitment to supporting Dubai's transformation into a sustainable and future-ready city by expanding EV infrastructure. This collaboration, announced at the GITEX exhibition in October 2024, reinforces efforts to make green mobility accessible while preventing misuse of charging bays through a "park and charge" policy. The initiative reflects Parkin and e&'s dedication to providing innovative, cleaner mobility solutions.
