The UAE’s used electric vehicle (EV) market witnessed a 53% surge in demand in 2024, with EV listings increasing by 47%, as highlighted in dubizzle’s Used Electric Vehicle Market Report 2024. Tesla retained its dominance with a 36% market share, with the Model 3 and Model S leading the sedan category, while the Model Y and Model X topped the SUV segment.
The report also analysed data from over 1.8 million active monthly users browsing 300,000 used car listings across more than 100 brands. German manufacturers, including Volkswagen, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz, ranked third, fourth, and fifth in popularity, while BYD gained traction with models like the Song Plus, Seagull, and HAN.
According to Aatif Rana, General Manager of dubizzle Cars, the growth of the pre-owned EV sector aligns with Dubai’s sustainability goals and the UAE Net Zero 2050 initiative. He emphasised the role of enhanced EV infrastructure, government incentives, and growing consumer awareness in driving the shift towards eco-friendly transportation.
Pricing details from the report show Tesla’s Model 3 ranges between AED 120,600 and AED 195,000 (2020-2024 models), while the Tesla Model Y SUV is priced between AED 140,000 and AED 207,400. For luxury EVs, the Porsche Taycan costs AED 389,900 to AED 466,900 (2021-2024 models).
Dubizzle’s findings also spotlight government efforts, such as plans to install 1,000 charging stations in Dubai by 2025 and 70,000 in Abu Dhabi by 2030, to support the rising demand for sustainable mobility. The platform currently hosts over 7,000 electric car listings, reflecting the growing appeal of EVs in the UAE.
