The UAE’s electric vehicle market is accelerating into a new phase of maturity, with the pre-owned segment emerging as one of its strongest growth engines.

Fresh data from Dubizzle’s Annual Pre-Owned Electric Car Market Report 2025 shows used electric vehicle listings on the platform rose by 41 per cent year on year, underlining growing consumer confidence and signalling that EV ownership in the UAE is no longer confined to early adopters or premium buyers.

The surge comes amid broader momentum for electric mobility across the country. Government data and industry trackers show that Dubai recorded more than 40,600 electric vehicles registered in the first half of 2025 alone, while Abu Dhabi reported a 60 per cent increase in EV charging activity over the same period. This rapid uptake is being underpinned by a combination of policy clarity, falling ownership costs, and a charging network that is expanding at one of the fastest rates in the region.
