Bayan Signage makes EV charging signs, green bay plates, column wraps, charger instruction labels and illuminated EV signs for office basements, hotels, malls and residential towers. We fabricate every sign in our own Ajman factory and coordinate with your charge-point operator and electrician, so the signs match the final charger positions and keep petrol cars out of the bays.
EV charging signs cover everything from the plate at the head of the bay to the small instruction label on the charger. The core sign is simple: an electric car and plug symbol, 'EV charging only' in Arabic and English and, ideally, a time limit. Around it sit green column wraps or wall panels, directional signs from the car park entrance, and labels explaining connector types, payment steps and a support number. Office basements, hotels, malls and residential towers across the UAE are adding them as chargers spread.
The real job of these signs is behaviour, not decoration. The most common complaint from EV drivers is a petrol car in the charging bay, or an electric car that finished charging hours ago. Clear 'while charging' wording, a strong green at eye level and a visible time limit give building management something fair to point to. We plan the wording, the bay plates and the label set together, and keep anything that will change, like an app name or helpline, on a separate replaceable label.
Bayan Signage has fabricated signs in its own factory at Alam Square, Industrial Area 2, Ajman since 2016, as the production arm of Bayan Advertising, which has 15 years in the UAE. We CNC-cut and print plates, weld and powder-coat posts, and assemble illuminated signs with Samsung or Epistar IP65 LED modules, all in-house. We do not make or install the chargers themselves; we work alongside the operator or electrical contractor who does.

A charging installation usually needs four or five kinds of sign. We plan them as one set from the charger layout so wording and colour stay consistent across every level.
Charging-only plates at the head of each bay, on powder-coated posts outside or fixed to walls and columns in basements, mounted above bonnet height.
View details →Printed vinyl wraps on basement columns and ACP wall panels at the bay end, in EV green with a white symbol, so the bay reads from the driving aisle.
View details →Lit EV panels above the bays or near the ramp, built with sealed LED modules so chargers can be found across a dark basement or busy forecourt.
View details →Arrow signs from the car park entrance and each ramp, so EV drivers reach the charging level without circling the building.
View details →Electrical warning and isolation labels for charger cabinets and feeder pillars, produced with the instruction labels so the charger carries one tidy set.

Our designers agree the bay wording, time limit and green colour scheme with you, then split the artwork into permanent signs and a replaceable label set for charger details that will change.
Plates are CNC-routed to ±0.1 mm and printed or faced in reflective film; posts are welded and powder-coated; column wraps are printed and laminated on our large-format machines to each column size.
For illuminated EV signs our electricians fit IP65 modules and drivers, and run every sign at full brightness in our test area before it is sealed and dispatched.
We wait until the chargers are fixed before signing the bays, because chargers sometimes move a bay during installation. Every sign is checked against the confirmed layout.
Our crew fixes plates and panels clear of the cable path, applies column wraps, connects lit signs to the supply your electrician provides and tests them after dark.
This is our starting specification for a typical charging installation. We adjust it to the operator's branding, the landlord's colour rules and the site, and itemise every change on the quote.
| Component | Our standard | Upgrade options | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bay plate | 2 mm aluminium, UV-laminated print | Reflective film for basements | Stays flat and readable in heat; reflective faces show in headlights. |
| Column wrap | Printed cast vinyl, UV laminate | Reflective or anti-graffiti laminate | A green column is the first thing a driver sees from the aisle in a basement. |
| Charger labels | Cast vinyl with UV laminate, high-temperature adhesive | Thin aluminium labels, bonded or riveted | Pedestals in sun get very hot; ordinary labels curl and fade. |
| Illuminated sign | Sealed cabinet, Samsung or Epistar IP65 LEDs | Timer or motion sensor control | Branded modules stay even and reliable; controls save power at night. |
| Post | Galvanised steel, powder-coated | Cranked post clear of the cable path | Keeps the sign out of the way of the cable and the car door. |
| Wheel stops | Coordinated as a separate item | Steel bollards in front of the charger | A bumper strike can put a charger out of service for weeks. |
EV signage is new to many building managers, and the same mistakes come up again and again. These are the ones we raise first.
'EV parking' invites any electric car to park all day without charging, which blocks the charger for everyone else. 'EV charging only, while charging' is clearer. In Arabic the terms are new too, so we keep the wording to a few words in each language and agree the Arabic rendering with you rather than translating a long English sentence.
A visible limit, such as 2 hours in a mall or 4 hours in an office basement, is the single most useful line on the plate. Without it, management has nothing to point to when a fully charged car stays in the bay long after it finished charging. Add a building management contact if you intend to enforce it, and keep the rule the same on every bay.
Chargers often move a bay or two during installation once the electrician finds the real cable route. Signing too early leaves a green plate over a bay with no charger and a charger in an unmarked bay. We programme the bay plates and column wraps for after the chargers are fixed, and prepare everything else in the factory beforehand.
App names, tariffs and support numbers change when operators update their systems. If they are printed on the bay sign, every change means new signs. We put them on a separate charger label sized to a standard panel and keep the artwork on file, so an operator change becomes a quick reprint.
Keep the sign post out of the path the charging cable takes to the car's socket, and away from where doors open. A wheel stop or bollard in front of the charger costs little compared with a damaged unit and an out-of-service bay. We coordinate both with your contractor so they are installed with the signs.
We quote from the charger layout, not a fixed list. Send the number of bays and chargers, the levels involved and a few photos, and you will usually receive an itemised quote, separating signs, wraps, lighting and installation, within 24 hours.
A plate and a label per bay is the baseline. Chargers spread across several levels need directional signs, which can double the piece count.
A single post or wall plate is the most economical; adding green column wraps or a lit panel per bay costs more but is far more visible.
Lit EV signs need LED modules, drivers, a sealed cabinet and coordination with the electrician on supply and switching.
Matching a charge-point operator's colours and logos is straightforward but usually adds a proofing round or two.
Wheel stops and bollards are separate items, and fixing them into a post-tensioned slab may need scanning or a base-plate solution.
Painted columns, cladding and blockwork each need a different fixing or vinyl, and post-tensioned slabs may need scanning before posts go in.
EV charging signs inside a private basement or plot usually do not need a municipality permit, but malls, master communities, free zones and landlords often approve anything in common areas and may set the colour, symbol and wording for EV bays. Illuminated signs or signs facing a public road can be treated differently by Dubai Municipality or the relevant authority. We confirm the current requirement for your site before production.
The chargers themselves are approved and connected by your electrical contractor or charge-point operator under the utility's rules, which is outside our scope. Where the operator has a signage guideline, we work to it exactly, and we agree power points and cable routes for any lit sign with your electrician before fabrication starts.
Bay plates, column wraps, directional signs and charger labels are planned as one set, so wording and colours match on every level.
Our electricians assemble illuminated EV signs with IP65 modules and test each one at full brightness before it leaves Ajman.
Outdoor posts, frames, LEDs and powder coat are covered for 5 years, with a warranty document at handover.
Changeable charger labels and kept artwork mean new app or support details are a quick reprint, not a new sign.
We programme our work around the charger installation and agree power and positions with your electrician, so nothing is signed twice.
EV, reserved, accessible, bay number and entrance signs can be made and installed together, with one project manager.
Green is the most common colour, shown on the bay plate, column or wall with a white EV symbol. It is widely recognised but not universal, and malls, communities and charge-point operators sometimes set their own colours. We confirm the current requirement for your site before producing any signs.
The cost depends on the number of bays, the plate and wrap formats, whether you need directional or illuminated signs, and the mounting surfaces. A few bays with post signs is a small job; a full set with lit panels and column wraps across several mall levels is larger. Send the charger layout and we will quote within 24 hours.
Signs, green column wraps and clear 'charging only' wording reduce it significantly, especially where the same people park every day. On private property the owner sets the rules and enforces them through security or building management. A time limit and a contact number on the sign make that enforcement much easier.
It helps where chargers differ. Showing Type 2 or CCS2 and the rated power in kW lets drivers know what to expect before they park. We put these details on the charger label rather than the bay sign, so they can be updated if the charger is upgraded or replaced.
No. We make and install the signs, labels and column wraps, and we work alongside the electrical contractor or charge-point operator who supplies and connects the chargers. Coordinating early means the signs match the final charger positions and any lit sign has a power point waiting for it.
Yes. A lit EV sign above the bays or a backlit panel near the ramp makes chargers easy to find in large basements. We build them with Samsung or Epistar IP65 modules, test them in our factory and fit a timer or motion sensor where you want to save power. They need a supply your electrician provides.
Signs inside a private basement or plot usually do not need a municipality permit, but landlords, malls and communities often approve anything in common areas. Lit signs or signs facing a public road can be treated differently. We confirm the current requirement for your site before work starts.
We make every sign in Ajman and install across Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain and Fujairah. The site visit is free in Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman. For operators rolling out chargers at several sites, we keep one artwork set so every location matches.
Send your logo, the fascia size and a site photo. Our estimating team replies with options and an itemised price, usually within 24 hours.
