The United Arab Emirates began to connect with Chinese new energy vehicle companies about 8 years ago and was one of the earliest countries to introduce Chinese electric vehicles. Chinese enterprises have seized the opportunity and actively participated in the Middle East electric vehicle market, such as Xiaopeng Motors entering the Egyptian market and Hyundai Motor planning to expand its electric vehicle product line in the Middle East. Dubai car dealer Farzad said that Chinese brand electric vehicles are of high quality and advanced technology, suitable for various road and climate conditions in the local area, and have been well loved by locals in the past two years.

The size of the electric vehicle market in the Middle East and Africa will reach 2.7 billion US dollars in 2023. It is expected that by 2028, the market size will grow to 7.65 billion US dollars, with a compound annual growth rate of 23.2%

UAE economist Jabila believes that the quality and competitiveness of Chinese brand electric vehicles have surpassed those of European and American electric vehicles. As more and more Chinese brands establish themselves in the Middle East, the demand for Chinese electric vehicles in the region is bound to increase in the future.
