Kuwait is set to build the region’s first city that will exclusively cater to the needs of electric vehicle manufacturers – EV City. Â
The move comes following the approval from Kuwait Ports Authority (KPA) for the project. It will provide all port and logistics services to these global electric car giants. Â
The design and construction tendering process for the proposed EV City will begin during the 2021/22 fiscal year, stated the report, KPA’s General Manager Yousef Al Abdullah Al Sabah stated, Â “Electric car makers do not use local distributors or dealers and sell their vehicles directly to consumers,” adding that it was common for ports to provide certain infrastructure to manufacturers.
