Kuwait has finished preparing the executive regulations for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, the country’s Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy Minister Ali Al Moussa told state media outlet Kuna on Saturday. The regs will lay out zones and facilities where EV charging stations will be placed, Moussa said. These include government and commercial buildings. Details on the regulations are scarce and the statement does not note when the new document will be issued.

Background:. The ministry has been looking into setting up infrastructure — including charging networks — to encourage widespread EV adoption in Kuwait for several years. Kuwait’s Electricity Ministry had formed a committee back in June to begin working on the regs.
