The initiative aims to promote the use of electric vehicles to reduce the carbon footprint and provide incentives to both prospective and existing users, in alignment with President Dr Mohamed Muizzu's environmental policies to ensure a sustainable future, Fahmy added.

"The charging station is already under construction and will cater to both four-wheeled and two-wheeled vehicles," Fahmy said.

He added that the Male' City Council has assured full cooperation for the project.

The station will be modeled after South Korea's approach, which has the largest number of public charging stations, with one station installed for every three cars.

This initiative was initially proposed by President Muizzu during his tenure as Male' City Mayor, with the Transport Committee of the Male' City Council conducting studies and plans for the project.
