GOVERNMENT IS FOCUSING ON E-CARS AND CHARGERS ARE NOW AVAILABLE

  • 16/11/2022

Kuwait City: The Ministry of Electricity and Water has made it possible for businesses and individuals to obtain licences to install electric car chargers in their homes and businesses. They stated that this action is consistent with the state's tendency to encourage the use of electric vehicles and reduce pollution caused by car exhausts. According to the sources, the ministry has established conditions for granting the licence, the first of which is an official letter from the company from which the electric car was purchased, proving the person applying for car charger installation's ownership. 


This letter is intended to confirm to the ministry that the person who requested that the power in his home be increased for the electric charger only has an electric car and that the power booster is not used for any other purpose. Each individual or company has the right to increase power up to 20 kilowatts, as the ministry will not issue licences to increase power above that amount. It is worth noting that the Ministry of Electricity and Water has installed an electric charger at one of its entrances as a personal initiative of the former minister to encourage employees to purchase electric cars that reduce environmental pressure.
