It said the comments were made Sunday by Tahreer
Al-Qaq, the spokesperson of the
Energy and Minerals Regulatory Commission.
Qaq said that
several charging stations under construction obtained permits and are in the
process of completing licensing procedures for their operation. Of the total,
57 are public stations, while the remaining 30 are private, she said, pointing
to the possibility of installing more than one charger in one station.
She said that public
electric vehicle charging
stations sell electric power to vehicles and provide public service, while
private vehicle charging stations are not intended for commercial use.
She said that there are some 53 stations, currently
operating across Jordan, 40 of them are public and 13 are private.
Licensing instructions for electric car charging
activities enables anyone to apply with the commission for the purpose of
establishing and installing a charging station, whether the station is public
in or outside a gas station, according to Qaq.
She said that the commission has obliged newly
established gas stations to provide an electric car charging station within
their premises, in accordance with the conditions and requirements approved by
the commission, since 2019.
The commission periodically monitors licensed
stations to ensure their commitment to the operation of the electric charging
station and the provision of the service.
The commission shall determine the appropriate
tariff for the charging of electric cars and the limit on the distributor’s
commission, or owner of the general charging station, and the cost of
delivering power to the consumer, according to Qaq.
Currently, the tariff for charging
electric cars,
whether private or public, is calculated on the basis of home charging meter
readings of 1–1,000 kilowatt-hours in the amount of 112 fils, which varies
monthly. Consumption of more than 1,000kWh will be charged 260 fils, which is
fixed.
As for the charging meters at gas stations; it is
112 fils for each 1kWh, plus a charging commission of 3.5 fils, if the chargers
available are of the slow type. The amount jumps to 5 fils for fast charging
types.
Qaq said that the commission is currently working to
provide an online service for citizens to apply for a license for a public or a
private charging station, through the energy and minerals regulatory
commission’s website, for the purpose of facilitating the procedure.
