Chinese EVs accelerate in the Gulf’s oil-dominated car market

In Gulf countries, where oil has long set the rules, Chinese electric cars are moving in fast. Asian brands are benefiting from lower prices, generous equipment and a very quick pace of launches.

For Italian readers, this is a clear sign: the global EV battle is not being fought only in Europe or the United States. Markets historically tied to fuel are also becoming fertile ground for Chinese brands, helped by public support for charging infrastructure and the search for alternatives to traditional mobility.
