Uzbekistan has begun constructing a nationwide electric vehicle (EV) led by local startup Pulseev, which plans to install 500 EV chargers by 2026 and scale up to 3,000 nationwide by 2030.
The project marks a major step in the country’s efforts to modernize its transport infrastructure and cut reliance on gas.
Pulseev, founded in Tashkent earlier this year, develops EV charging stations and software tailored to Uzbekistan’s climate and energy grid.
Unlike imported equipment, Pulseev’s chargers are designed and assembled domestically and include solar-ready features, fast charging, and mobile integration.
“We’re not just installing chargers. We’re building a green culture around mobility—where families can relax, kids can play, and drivers can power up with pride,” said Jasurbek Khodjaev, co-founder of Pulseev.
Construction has begun on the company’s flagship EV hub, which will feature over 50 solar-covered charging bays, a playground, modular cafés made from shipping containers, and coworking spaces.
Pulseev aims to expand beyond Uzbekistan into the broader Central Asia and MENA regions, focusing on highway corridors, urban centers, and rural areas via solar-powered micro-hubs.
The project is part of broader government efforts to improve energy efficiency and support electric vehicle adoption. Uzbekistan has recently focused on upgrading energy infrastructure and promoting clean technologies.
Pulseev also plans future expansion into other Central Asian countries and the MENA region.
The startup is supported by Startup Garage, a local innovation platform that backs technology-focused initiatives.
