Electric vehicles are rapidly becoming part of everyday life in Dubai. With growing adoption, convenient and safe home or workplace charging is essential. Installing a dedicated EV charger is the smartest long-term solution — far cheaper and more convenient than relying only on public stations.
At Watts & Ergon, a DEWA-approved solar and electrical contractor, we provide complete EV charger installation services for villas, apartments, offices, hotels, and commercial properties across Dubai. We also specialise in integrating chargers with solar systems so you can charge your vehicle with clean, low-cost energy.
| Charger Type | Power Output | Typical Charging Time | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 (Portable) | 3.7 kW | 8–12 hours (full charge) | Occasional use, apartments |
| Level 2 (AC Wallbox) | 7.4 – 22 kW | 2–6 hours (full charge) | Homes, villas, offices, hotels |
| DC Fast Charger | 30 – 150+ kW | 20–60 minutes (to 80%) | Commercial, fleet, public stations |
| Ultra-Fast DC | 150 – 360 kW | 15–40 minutes (to 80%) | High-turnover hubs, taxi fleets |
Most popular choice for homes and offices in Dubai: Level 2 AC wallbox (7–22 kW).
Best for businesses and fleet operators: DC Fast or Ultra-Fast chargers.
Costs depend on charger type, cable length, electrical panel capacity, and whether upgrades are needed.

All EV charger installations in Dubai must comply with DEWA regulations and the latest EV Charging Infrastructure Regulation.
Key requirements include:
Note: Villa installations with adequate existing capacity are usually simpler. Apartment and commercial projects often need additional approvals and coordination.
Most standard home installations are completed in one day once approvals are in place.
Pairing your EV charger with a solar PV system from Watts & Ergon allows you to charge your vehicle with free solar energy during the day. This combination can dramatically reduce your overall electricity costs and deliver true energy independence under the Shams Dubai net metering programme.
Whether you need a simple Level 2 wallbox for your villa or a multi-bay commercial charging solution, Watts & Ergon delivers safe, compliant, and cost-effective installations.
