Oman Sets New EV Charging Fees From October 1

According to the Arab Times Kuwait, the Sultanate of Oman is set to implement a new fee structure for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations starting October 1, 2026. The new regulations will establish a tiered pricing model, with costs ranging from 50 to 120 Baisa per kilowatt-hour, depending on the specific charging capacity and location of the infrastructure.

This policy shift is part of Oman’s broader initiative to regulate the growing electric vehicle market and ensure the sustainability of the nation's power grid as adoption rates increase. By standardizing fees, the government aims to provide a clear framework for both private operators and EV owners, encouraging the expansion of charging networks across the country.

While the announcement provides a clear timeline for the implementation of these charges, officials have indicated that the pricing structure is designed to remain competitive while reflecting the operational costs of electricity distribution. Further details regarding the specific technical classifications for the charging tiers are expected to be released by the relevant Omani authorities in the coming months as the October 2026 deadline approaches.
