New energy vehicles, especially Chinese ones, are dominating the region's markets at an accelerating pace, and this transformation is due to noticeable changes in the culture of car consumption, increasing environmental awareness, and aggressive government support for clean energy.

Chinese electric cars have emerged as the most prominent stars of this new scene, thanks to the efficiency of their components and distinguished performance, in addition to their reasonable prices that tempt consumers. The numbers indicate tremendous growth in sales of these cars in various countries of the region.

Jordan is a clear example of this rapid growth. The number of Chinese electric cars sold has increased significantly in recent years. In 2019, only 72 cars were cleared from customs, while this number jumped to 33,386 cars in 2023.

This huge increase is due to the attractiveness of the low prices of Chinese cars, compared to their counterparts from Western countries.

Egypt is following the same steps. The number of Chinese electric cars registered until March 2024 has risen to 4,826 cars, with expectations of a continuous increase during the coming period. This demand is attributed to the efficiency of components, reasonable prices, and low maintenance costs.
Arab governments play an important role in promoting the growth of the new energy vehicle market by offering various incentive programs. For example, the UAE seeks to raise the share of electric cars by half by 2050, while Egypt offers incentives that include reducing customs duties and encouraging research and development in this field. .
