Electric vehicle market surpasses 7000 units
The electric vehicle market in the Sultanate of Oman has experienced significant growth, with the number of electric vehicles increasing from a few hundred to over 7,000 by the end of July 2023. This growth is expected to continue over the next two years. The charging station network has expanded to more than 160 points, with plans to increase it to 350 stations by 2027, in addition to launching a unified charging management system (CMS). A major Korean project has also been established to produce cars and battery cells in the Duqm region, with an investment nearing $250 million. The project aims to produce up to 60,000 vehicles annually and develop the battery industry, with the goal of achieving full carbon neutrality by 2050. This includes enacting specific legislation and standards for electric vehicles, along with customs and tax incentives. Furthermore, the Omani police have added electric cars to their fleet, supporting the transition to clean energy and sustainable development.
