EV charging across the Gulf and Jordan
Who actually operates public charging in each Gulf country plus Jordan — 31 networks with their official apps (iOS & Android), payment methods, sites, connectors and coverage. Every entry is source-verified — actual station operators only.
The Gulf standard is unified: AC via Type 2, DC fast-charging via CCS2. Tesla in the Gulf uses CCS2 — not NACS. Imported Chinese (GB/T) cars need an adapter.
