The initiative, covering prominent locations, will be rolled out in phases until 2025.

Sharjah City Municipality (SCM) and Sharjah Electricity and Water Authority (SEWA) have partnered with the UAE-based sustainable transportation company, ION to implement the project.

Authorities are also drawing up regulations aimed at encouraging the use of electric vehicles in the emirate.
