Tesla lists 83 destination charger sites in the UAE, 62 of them in Dubai and 14 in Abu Dhabi, and 69 of the 83 are hotels (Tesla Find Us, read 18 Oct 2026). They are Type 2 AC chargers that run at up to 22 kW, of which a Tesla takes 11. At 11 kW a Model Y Long Range adds about 61 km of range an hour and goes from 10 to 90% in about 5.5 hours, well inside one hotel night. Of the 83, 65 are for the venue’s guests or customers and 15 are open to the public; the venue decides whether you pay.
Start where you are
A destination charger is a public wallbox that charges while you stay
| Destination charger | Supercharger | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Type 2 AC, typically 11–22 kW, the same class of hardware as a home wallbox | DC fast charging at 125–250 kW in the UAE; the stop is the point |
| Where it lives | Hotel parking, mall garages, office towers, marinas | Major malls and the E11 corridor |
| The time it wants | Hours, while you stay | Twenty to forty minutes |
| How it bills | Free for guests or customers at many venues, otherwise the venue’s or network’s AC rate | Per kWh to your Tesla account; current price on our Tesla Superchargers in the UAE page |
| When it wins | Every night and every long afternoon | Road trips and tight schedules |
The car treats a destination charger like the wallbox in a villa garage, with the same 11 kW ceiling; our home charging guide covers that hardware.

Loading the charger map…
Charger data: DEWA open data (loaded 6 Apr 2026); Tesla's Find Us pages (read 28 Sep, 2 Oct and 18 Oct 2026; PlaidCars is not affiliated with Tesla); ADNOC station finder (April 2026); Open Charge Map contributors (CC BY 4.0, modified by PlaidCars); BMW AGMC's charging-station list (checked 2 Oct 2026).

The map opens on all 83 of Tesla’s UAE destination sites, each with its top speed and who may use it. Switch the network filter for DEWA, ADNOC and the other networks, or open the full list by emirate on our UAE EV charger map.
| Emirate | Sites |
|---|---|
| Dubai | 62 |
| Abu Dhabi | 14 |
| Sharjah | 2 |
| Fujairah | 2 |
| Ras Al Khaimah | 2 |
| Ajman | 1 |
| UAE | 83 |
| Who may use it | Sites |
|---|---|
| Guests or customers of the venue | 59 |
| Guests or customers, by reservation only | 6 |
| Open to the public | 15 |
| Not stated | 3 |
Speeds across the 83: 35 list 22 kW, 16 list 11 kW, 16 list 13 to 17 kW, 8 list 6 to 8 kW and 8 list no speed. A Tesla draws at most 11 kW, so every unit from 11 kW up charges it at the same rate. At the eight slower sites it gets what the unit gives, about 34 to 45 km of range an hour for a Model Y Long Range.
By brand, Rove has the most sites with six, then Ritz-Carlton, Fairmont and Jumeirah with four each and Hyatt with three. Hilton has one, the DoubleTree by Hilton in Al Barsha. The 15 public sites include Dubai Marina Mall, The Dubai Mall’s Fashion Parking, Emaar Square, three Emirates NBD branches and Qasr Al Watan in Abu Dhabi.
Tesla also notes how to reach each charger: 33 sites say see the valet, 27 say self park, 13 say see the front desk and 7 say call ahead. When you book a hotel, ask the exact question: “Do you have a Type 2 car charger a guest can use overnight?” “EV charging” can also mean a slow wall socket.
The overnight math: about 61 km per hour, a full pack in one hotel night
At 17.9 kWh per 100 km, our Model Y Long Range figure, 11 kW adds about 61 km of range per hour; a car using 15 kWh per 100 km gets about 73. The table divides the energy for a 10 to 90% charge by 11 kW, before charging losses.
| Usable pack (kWh) | 10 to 90% (kWh) | Hours at 11 kW |
|---|---|---|
| 60 | 48 | About 4.4 |
| 75 (Model Y Long Range) | 60 | About 5.5 |
| 100 | 80 | About 7.3 |
A ten-hour hotel night at 11 kW delivers up to 110 kWh, almost twice the 60 kWh a Model Y Long Range needs from 10 to 90%, and even the slowest 6 kW unit on Tesla’s list adds 60 kWh in that time. I would plan a UAE road trip around hotels on this list and use Superchargers only on the drive between them.
Is it free? The venue decides, in three patterns
The venue sets the terms, in one of three ways:
| Pattern | What you pay | How to check |
|---|---|---|
| Free for staying guests | AED 0, included with the room | Ask when you book; 65 of the 83 sites are for the venue’s guests or customers |
| Free for customers with a validated parking ticket | AED 0 for charging; the garage’s parking rules still apply | Ask at the mall’s customer service before you plug in |
| Network-billed unit, such as a DEWA post at the venue | AED 0.70 per kWh plus VAT, AED 0.735 in total, the federal AC minimum | DEWA public AC posts across Dubai |
Where a venue does charge, the AC rate undercuts DC fast charging at AED 1.26. Every network’s rate, dated, is on our page on what it costs to charge a Tesla in the UAE.
Tesla marks all 83 UAE sites as Tesla-only
Tesla’s data marks none of the 83 as open to other makes. The plug is standard Type 2, the AC inlet on GCC-spec EVs except the Cybertruck, so a BYD, a Zeekr or a BMW fits it, but the unit may be set to start only for a Tesla and the venue may keep the bay for Teslas or guests. Ask the front desk or the valet before you plug in.
Three things to check before you count on one
The bay can be taken, by a petrol car or by an EV that finished hours ago. At a hotel, ask the valet to keep it for you; at a mall, have a second pin from the map ready. Ticket rules still apply: some gated mall garages want a validated ticket even after a short charge, so allow time for the customer-service desk. Call ahead on the night it matters: six sites on Tesla’s list take reservations only and seven ask you to call ahead, so confirm the charger works and hold the bay. Visiting and renting? Our guide to renting an electric car in Dubai covers charging a rental, and our Tesla rental page lists today’s offers.
For a fast top-up between hotel nights, the Supercharger lists for Dubai and Abu Dhabi show the nearest sites by area.
For hotels and venues: Tesla runs the sign-up
UAE hotels, offices and other venues apply on Tesla’s Host Destination Charging form. Tesla asks for at least two Wall Connectors at one site, reviews each application and, if it approves, pairs the venue with a certified electrician (Tesla UAE, read 18 Oct 2026).
Tesla destination charging, asked directly
What is a Tesla destination charger?
A Type 2 AC charger of up to 22 kW at a hotel, mall or office, so the car charges while you are there. A Tesla draws up to 11 kW from it, about 61 km of range an hour for a Model Y Long Range, which fills from 10 to 90% in about 5.5 hours.
How many Tesla destination chargers are there in the UAE?
Tesla lists 83 sites, read on 18 Oct 2026: 62 in Dubai, 14 in Abu Dhabi, 2 each in Sharjah, Fujairah and Ras Al Khaimah, and 1 in Ajman. Our map shows all of them.
Are Tesla destination chargers free in Dubai hotels and malls?
Often, for guests and customers; the venue decides. Of the 83 sites, 65 are for the venue’s guests or customers and 15 are open to the public. Where a network-billed post is used, you pay the federal AC minimum of AED 0.735 per kWh including VAT.
Can a non-Tesla EV use a Tesla destination charger?
The Type 2 plug fits GCC-spec EVs except the Cybertruck, but Tesla marks all 83 UAE sites as Tesla-only, and the unit may not start for another make. Ask the front desk or the valet first.
Which hotels in the UAE have Tesla chargers?
69 of Tesla’s 83 UAE sites are hotels. Rove has six, Ritz-Carlton, Fairmont and Jumeirah four each, and Hyatt three; Hilton has one, the DoubleTree by Hilton in Al Barsha. The map on this page shows every site.
