NBK provides EV charging stations at its headquarters parking

Cementing its pioneering efforts in promoting sustainable practices and leading the way of transitioning to renewable energy and reducing carbon emissions, National Bank of Kuwait (NBK) has provided 12 EV charging stations at the different levels of the multi-storey car park attached to the bank’s headquarters.

Capitalizing on its solid relations with major leading institutions, NBK tied up with “Tesla” the global leader of electric vehicles industry, as part of its summer campaign last year, and offered the draws winners eco-friendly Tesla electric vehicles as prizes. In addition, the bank installed a total of 12 EV charging stations at its headquarters’ car park.

NBK is the first and only bank in Kuwait that provides EV charging stations, as its headquarters building appears on Tesla’s map as the first and only authorized charging station available in Kuwait, noting that these chargers are compatible with all types of electric vehicles, not only Tesla models.

On this occasion, Mr. Hisham Al-Nusif, Deputy General Manager of Consumer Banking, National Bank of Kuwait, said: “Providing EV charging stations at NBK’s headquarters car parks is part of our relentless initiatives to promote sustainability and support all the efforts to reduce carbon emissions and transitioning to renewable sources of energy.”
