Electric Mobility in the Gulf - Implications for the Region amidst Geoeconomic Shifts
The Gulf's EV market is growing rapidly, with sales expected to reach a market share of 25% in the UAE and 64% in Saudi Arabia by 2035, driven by strong government support and increasing consumer interest.
However, infrastructure, including charging stations and climate-specific battery concerns, remains a key challenge for the region’s EV adoption.
Furthermore, geopolitical tensions between China and the West may impact pricing, competition, and the Gulf’s reliance on Chinese EV supply.
