DEWA & Regulatory Requirements

All EV charger installations in Dubai must comply with DEWA regulations and the latest EV Charging Infrastructure Regulation.

Key requirements include:

  • Installation by a licensed / DEWA-approved contractor
  • Electrical load assessment and capacity check
  • Use of approved charger models meeting IEC standards
  • Proper earthing, Type A or Type B RCD protection, and circuit breakers
  • Dedicated circuit for the charger
  • Building management / Owners Association NOC (for apartments)
  • DEWA application and inspection (handled by the contractor)
  • OCPP compliance for smart/public chargers
  • For public charging: CPO (Charge Point Operator) licence may be required

Note: Villa installations with adequate existing capacity are usually simpler. Apartment and commercial projects often need additional approvals and coordination.
