Who actually operates public charging in each Gulf country — 16 networks with their official sites, connectors, power and coverage. Every entry is source-verified.
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.
