By targeting potential EV buyers
Dubai is set to host the Yalla Green Mobility show, which organisers claim will be the UAE’s premier electric vehicle (EV) test drive-based sustainability event. Yalla TV will organise the inaugural event on November 23, 2025, at the Dubai Autodrome.
The ticketed event aims to accelerate the UAE’s transition to clean mobility by supporting the Arabian Gulf country’s strategic vision to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The organisers seek to accomplish this goal by allowing 20+ green tech innovators, companies, and EV manufacturers to engage with consumers, corporates and local government bodies.
Yalla Green Mobility will be held as EV-curious consumers and early adopters in the UAE are eager to learn about and embrace innovative green mobility technologies, the benefits of EVs, and how they fit into their lifestyles.
The upcoming event seeks to inspire change by promoting awareness, community engagement, and eco-innovation. Through hands-on experiences with next-generation mobility solutions, community-driven green efforts, and educational programmes, Yalla Green Mobility aims to connect people with the evolving landscape of sustainable living.
According to Barbie Nuki Lezhava, CEO of Yalla TV, Director & Founder of Yalla Green Mobility, the Yalla Green Mobility Show is more than just an exhibition; it is an immersive experience designed for all ages and backgrounds.
Visitors will be able to test drive various types of EVs from prominent and emerging EV brands on the 2.5-kilometre Dubai Autodrome track, including cutting-edge sedans and high-performance SUVS. This hands-on approach will allow attendees to experience the future of mobility today.
Beyond EV test drives, the day-long event will feature live music, food trucks, car drifting simulators, and a kids’ play arena. Interactive domes and discussion panels will delve into battery innovation, smart charging infrastructure, and sustainable mobility’s economic and ecological benefits. These sessions aim to foster meaningful dialogue between policymakers, industry leaders, and consumers.
Lezhava stated: “At Yalla Green Mobility, our mission is to inspire a shift toward cleaner, smarter, and more sustainable ways of moving and living. This platform goes beyond showcasing innovation — it’s about driving real change through awareness and collaboration.”
Aakash Pandey, COO of Yalla Green Mobility, added: “Every test drive will last about 15 minutes, with over 500 test drives expected to occur during the event. We expect over 3,000+ visitors, and it will be a full day of driving, learning, and fun. The idea is to promote sustainability in mobility and encourage people to try clean driving options.”
Pre-registration is required for entry to the test drive area at Yalla Green Mobility, and participants will receive designated time slots for their driving experience. Registration details and tickets will be available soon via Platinumlist and other online channels.
Backed by Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority, Dubai Taxi Company and Dubai Autodrome, Yalla Green Mobility aims to set a new Guinness World Record for the largest number of EVs tested in a single day.
As of April 2025, there were 70,000+ registered EVs on UAE roads, and 9,500 EV charging stations are planned across the UAE by 2026.
