Dubai will host EV World 2026, an international electric vehicle exhibition and conference bringing together automotive manufacturers, charging infrastructure providers, battery technology companies, investors and mobility experts. The event will take place from November 10 to 12, 2026, at Dubai World Trade Centre.

Organised in strategic partnership with Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), EV World aims to showcase technologies shaping the future of electric vehicles, sustainable transport and smart mobility.

For visitors planning to attend, here is everything to know about the event dates, registration, entry fees, opening hours, transport options and key attractions.

EV World Dubai 2026: Dates, Venue and Timings

  • Event: EV World 2026

  • Dates: November 10–12, 2026

  • Venue: Dubai World Trade Centre, Dubai, UAE

  • Published exhibition hours: 10 AM to 6 PM

  • Official website: https://www.evworld.ae/

  • Organising partnership: Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA)

The event will bring together businesses and professionals working across electric mobility, sustainable energy, charging networks and next-generation transportation technologies.

According to the RTA's October 5 announcement, the inaugural edition is expected to attract more than 300 companies, authorities and organisations, over 30 business partners, approximately 70 speakers and more than 10,000 industry specialists and interested visitors. These figures represent expected participation rather than confirmed attendance.

EV World Dubai 2026 Registration and Ticket Prices

Visitor registration is open through the official EV World website. The event is intended for industry professionals as well as members of the public interested in electric vehicles and future mobility.

Professional visitors can access the exhibition free of charge, according to the official visitor information page. However, visitors should check the terms applicable to their registration category before attending, as the general visitor category has separate published information.

To register, visit the official website:

EV World Dubai 2026 Visitor Registration

Select the appropriate registration category and follow the instructions provided by the organiser. Early registration is encouraged to help visitors access the exhibition and avoid unnecessary queues.

The exhibition visitor badge is valid for all three days and is intended for one person only. Visitors may also be asked to show valid identification when entering the venue.

Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult throughout the event.

Visitor Timings and Entry Rules

One important detail to check before travelling is the difference between the published visitor schedules.

The official event information page lists exhibition hours as 10 AM to 6 PM. However, the organiser's August 31 registration announcement lists a separate Visitor category with access from 3 PM to 10 PM, while Business Visitors are listed for 10 AM to 6 PM.

Visitors should therefore confirm the latest timings on their registration confirmation and the official website rather than assume that the same schedule applies to every category.
