Saudi Arabia drives 40 per cent surge in Middle East EV sales

Electric vehicle sales across the Middle East have risen 40 per cent, with Saudi Arabia leading the regional push for sustainable transport, according to Arab News. The Kingdom's efforts are accelerating EV adoption as part of broader sustainability initiatives in the Gulf.

Why it matters: A 40 per cent jump in regional EV sales signals growing charging infrastructure demand in Saudi Arabia and neighbouring markets, creating procurement opportunities for CPOs and equipment suppliers targeting the Middle East.
