Oman Launches Its First Locally-Made EV Charging Platform
Muscat AI Solutions introduces a unified, locally-developed platform to simplify electric vehicle charging and grid management in Oman.
Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming very popular in Oman! In the first half of 2026, the country registered over 5,900 EVs.
To support this green movement, the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology has already set up more than 160 charging points. They plan to increase this number to 350 by 2027.
As more charging stations pop up in Muscat's malls, hotels, and residential areas, drivers face a common issue. Managing multiple apps, confusing screens, and foreign software that does not accept local bank cards can make charging difficult.
A Local Solution for EV Drivers
To solve this, Muscat AI Solutions has launched Oman’s first locally developed EV platform. They introduced the EV Group App and a smart backend system called EV Group Charge. Together, they create a unified Charger Management System (CMS). This makes charging simple for drivers and helps businesses manage their stations easily.
After launching the EV Group App in 2025, Muscat AI Solutions introduced the EV Group Charge system earlier this month to complete the setup.
Hussain Al Lawati, CEO of Muscat AI Solutions, shared that the EV Group App “completely reimagines the local driving experience” for EV users.
He explained: “Instead of guessing where to go or battling complicated menus, drivers can use the app to effortlessly plan their journeys. The app seamlessly locates nearby charging stations and automatically maps routes based on the vehicle’s live battery status,”
Easy Payments and Smart Power Management
The new platform connects directly with local Omani banks. This means payments are safe, quick, and work perfectly with local cards without any errors.
For business owners, malls, and fleet managers, EV Group Charge keeps chargers running without overloading the electricity grid. It uses the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP), which acts as a universal translator. This allows station owners to connect and manage chargers from “almost any international manufacturer through a single, central dashboard”, Al Lawati said.
Because the system is designed in Oman, station owners get real-time control and fast local support. They no longer have to wait for help from overseas technical teams. It also has built-in "smart charging" technology. When many cars plug in at the same time, the software balances the power. This protects the local grid and charges every vehicle safely.
Supporting Local Businesses and the Future
Al Lawati described this new system as “a game-changer for local charger suppliers and electrical installers”. Before this, installing a charger was just a one-time job. Now, local installers can offer the software with the hardware, helping them provide ongoing remote support and build long-term services for customers.
Since the entire platform is built in Muscat, it can easily adapt to new local rules and future charging rates.
Ali Chenani, CTO of Muscat AI Solutions, said: “As the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology continues to push towards sustainable transport targets, having locally owned technology becomes a matter of national resilience,”
He added: “By keeping both the software and the engineering local, Muscat AI isn’t just making EV driving easier today, it is building the digital foundation to keep Oman moving sustainably for decades to come,”
