Services · Mobile app development · EV charging apps
Codeeo offers EV charging app development in Dubai for charge point operators, property owners, hotels, malls and fleet managers. Drivers find a free connector, check the plug type and power, start a session from the phone and pay without a membership card, while your team monitors chargers, pricing and faults from one dashboard.
Dubai's charging market is opening up. DEWA runs the EV Green Charger network and now licenses private charge point operators, which means more brands, more apps and more drivers who expect one tap charging wherever they park. A clear, dependable app is how your chargers win repeat visits. It also gives you the data to price fairly.

Product modules
An EV driver opens a charging app with one question: can I charge here, now, at a speed that suits my stop? Everything else follows from that. Behind the driver screens sits a harder problem, talking reliably to chargers from several manufacturers, recording every kilowatt hour and getting paid for it.
We build both sides. The driver app is short and fast, designed for someone standing in a hot car park or waiting in a basement in Dubai Marina. The operator side handles hardware communication, tariffs, faults and settlement. The modules below are the core set, and we choose which belong in your first release during discovery. They all draw on one record of chargers, sessions and drivers.
Every site shows on a map with connectors marked as free, in use or out of order, updated from the chargers themselves. Filters cover plug type, minimum power, parking access and opening hours, so a driver at a mall knows which level and bay to head for before entering. Photos of each site entrance help drivers find chargers hidden on lower parking levels.
Drivers arrive at a charger that is actually free.
Each connector lists its standard, typically Type 2 for AC and CCS2 for DC fast charging, with CHAdeMO still found on some older units, alongside maximum power. Drivers save their car model once and the app hides connectors that will not fit. Cable length and whether the cable is tethered are shown for AC units.
No wasted trips to an incompatible plug.
Drivers start a session by choosing the connector in the app or scanning the QR code on the charger, then watch energy delivered, time and estimated cost in real time. Sessions stop from the phone, at a set energy target or when the car is full. A push notification tells the driver when charging finishes.
Charging starts without RFID cards or a call to support.
Card, Apple Pay and Google Pay through a UAE payment gateway, with pre authorisation at the start and final capture when the session ends. Tariffs can include energy, time and idle fees. Corporate accounts receive monthly statements, and every driver gets a VAT receipt. Promotional codes and free charging hours can be set per site.
Drivers pay for exactly what they used.
We connect to chargers through the Open Charge Point Protocol, so you are not locked to one manufacturer. The platform handles boot, status, authorisation, metering and remote start or stop, and logs every message for diagnosis when a unit misbehaves. Firmware updates and configuration changes can be pushed remotely.
Mixed hardware runs from one back office.
Drivers rarely want a separate account for every operator. We design the platform so it can exchange locations, sessions and billing with other networks through standard roaming protocols such as OCPI, whenever your commercial agreements allow it. Tariffs for roaming partners are kept separate from your own driver prices.
Your chargers can reach drivers who use other apps.
Optional short reservations for fast chargers, and a queue that alerts the next driver when a connector frees up. Idle fees can start a few minutes after a full charge to keep bays moving at busy sites. Rules can differ by site and time of day.
Popular chargers turn over faster.
Uptime, failed sessions, energy delivered and revenue by site, with alerts for offline chargers, ground faults or repeated authorisation errors. Field technicians receive tickets with the error codes already attached. Uptime reports can be shared with site hosts and landlords.
Faults are fixed before drivers report them.
Drivers see every past session with location, energy, duration and cost, and can export them for expense claims. A simple planner suggests chargers along a route, for example a fast stop on the way from Dubai to Abu Dhabi or Hatta, based on connector type and current availability. Favourite chargers sit at the top of the list.
Repeat drivers trust the app for longer trips too.
Private chargers in buildings and depots can be limited to residents, staff or named vehicles, with costs allocated per apartment, per driver or per cost centre. Public and private access can run on the same charger at different times. Visitors to a building can be given a temporary pass by the resident.
Shared chargers are billed fairly.
Who we build for
Charging apps look alike on the surface but the business underneath varies a lot. A public operator cares about uptime and roaming. A residential community cares about fair cost sharing. A hotel wants a perk for guests. As EV charging app developers in Dubai, we begin with your business model and your hardware list, then design the product around them. Some clients mix these models across their sites, and the platform can support that.
DEWA has introduced a licensing framework for private operators, with Tesla and UAEV among the first licensed. New operators need a driver app, an OCPP back office, tariff management and reporting that holds up to regulator and partner scrutiny. We help you plan the platform so it scales from a handful of sites to several hundred chargers without a rebuild. Site hosts can get their own login to view usage and revenue share.
Regulatory conditions are confirmed with your licence team, not assumed.
Towers in areas such as Jumeirah Village Circle, Business Bay or Dubai Hills add shared chargers in the car park. Residents need fair access and individual billing, while facility managers need to stop non residents from using bays. The app handles bookings, per apartment statements and access by vehicle plate or account. Load management can cap total power at night so the building's supply is not overloaded when many residents plug in at once.
Here charging supports the main business. Guests and shoppers want to plug in, enjoy a meal or a stay, and leave with a charged car. The app can tie into loyalty schemes, offer free or discounted sessions for guests, and show the charger on the venue's own app through an embedded module. Session data can also show which locations attract EV drivers, which helps plan where to add chargers next.
Valet teams can manage sessions on the guest's behalf.
Delivery, taxi, limousine and corporate fleets charge at depots and on the road. A Custom EV charging app development Dubai project for a fleet focuses on depot scheduling, driver authorisation, energy reporting per vehicle and reimbursement for public charging. Telematics data can show which vehicles need charging before the next shift. Drivers who charge at home can submit sessions for reimbursement with proof attached.
Depot load is planned so chargers do not trip the supply.
Engagement options
Most clients start with a fixed scope first release covering the driver app, OCPP back office and payments for their current sites. A retainer then adds roaming, reservations, fleet tools and new charger models as you grow. Operators with an ambitious rollout often prefer a dedicated team. We are based in Dubai, so we can test on your chargers in person and run workshops with your operations team, with further engineers in Riyadh and Karachi. Codeeo has a team of 80+ and has delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US. You see working software at every sprint review and decide the priorities for the next one.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
Cross platform driver apps, a cloud back office that speaks OCPP to your chargers, a web dashboard for operators and a UAE payment gateway. Hosting region, logging and data retention are agreed with you to meet UAE PDPL obligations. Monitoring runs around the session flow so problems surface quickly.

It depends on the number of charger models, the payment setup and whether roaming is in the first release.
A driver app with payments for one charger model is a smaller project than a multi vendor platform with roaming, fleet accounts and reservations. After discovery we agree the first release, plan it in sprints and write the dates down. Site testing on each charger model is built into the schedule, since hardware behaviour is the most common source of surprises. App store review and driver onboarding are part of the plan as well.
