The UAE Cabinet has unveiled a new fee structure for electric vehicle (EV) charging services under Cabinet Resolution No. 81 of 2024.
This decision follows an extensive review of the UAE Constitution, Federal Law No. (1) of 1972 on Ministry Jurisdictions and Competences (as amended), and Federal Decree-Law No. 26 of 2019 on Public Finance (as amended).
The resolution, adopted based on a proposal by the Minister of Finance and approved by the Cabinet, sets specific fees for EV charging services:
- Express Charging Service: Minimum of Dh1.20 + VAT per kWh.
- Slow Charging Service: Minimum of Dh0.70 + VAT per kWh.
The Council of Ministers holds the authority to amend these fees, including additions, deletions, or other adjustments as needed.
Federal authorities will collect these fees using methods determined by the Ministry of Finance, while local authorities will follow mechanisms established at the Emirate level.
The Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, in coordination with the Ministry of Finance, will issue necessary executive decisions and procedures to enforce the resolution.
The new fee structure will come into effect 60 days after its publication in the Official Gazette.
