Saudi Arabia's Municipal Affairs to allocate 5% of Parking spaces for Electric Cars
The Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs in Saudi Arabia plans to provide 5% of the total available parking lots for electric cars, as per the new municipal rules and regulations formed by the ministry. There will be charging stations for electric cars at all parking lots.
The Ministry has classified charging sites of electric vehicles into 3 levels; one is long-term parking, which is at residential buildings, offices, airports, railway stations, and regional transport stations.
Commercial complexes, such as shopping malls, theaters, and hotels, house short-term parking at the second level. The 3rd level is parking lots on both sides of commercial streets and main roads and Class A fuel stations. Similar: Electronic screens with Fuel prices are must at Fuel stations of Saudi Arabia
