If you are tired of the rising costs associated with car ownership, then maybe it is time to sell your car and invest in an electric car. Why? Because Dubai is offering incentives worth up to AED 10,000 / year to motorists who are ready to make the shift.
Free Charging: Those car users who are registered with Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) can charge their cars at designated stations completely free of charge until the end of 2019. This incentive would encourage individuals to invest in buying an electric car as it would save them an entire year’s spending on oil. That is a saving of AED 5,000 per year for an average driver!
Toll Free Driving: You are already spending enough money to maintain your car. Amidst all this, paying tolls found on Sheikh Zayed Road and other major roads can be an added burden on your wallet. However, this will not be the case for electric car users since RTA is offering them toll free driving. For a driver living in Marina and working in downtown, that is a saving of AED 4,000+ per year!
Free registration: Dubai is also offering free vehicle registration and exemption from renewal fees to buyers of electric cars. That is a saving of AED 830!
Free Green Parking: Designated green parking areas have been built as part of the infrastructure development that will be available only for electric car users. Finding a parking spot wouldn’t be so difficult after you have shifted to an electric car! No more wasted hours circling parking lots over the weekend!
These incentives are sure to attract new users and responding to the increasing demand, Battery-car specialist Tesla Inc. has already opened its first showroom in Dubai in July.
