In this white paper, Hassan Zaheer, Chief Commercial Officer at PTR Inc., and Muhammad Rafey Khan, Team Lead EVCI at PTR Inc., provide a detailed overview of the rapid evolution of electric mobility in the Gulf, with a focus on the UAE and Saudi Arabia. The authors note that both countries are spearheading the region’s EV transition by setting ambitious adoption targets and committing substantial investments to build robust charging infrastructure. This infrastructure rollout is seen as a critical driver for mass adoption, supported by favorable government policies.

The article emphasizes how domestic EV manufacturing is also gaining traction, as the UAE and Saudi Arabia aim to reduce dependence on imports while capturing economic value from the global EV boom. In doing so, the Gulf is positioning itself as a future hub for e-mobility innovation and supply chain development. Zaheer and Khan also shed light on challenges, including consumer perception, affordability, and technology localization, which remain hurdles for large-scale adoption. However, these challenges are framed as opportunities for innovation and private-sector collaboration. The paper argues that the region’s EV market is more than just about vehicles, it is about creating a sustainable transportation ecosystem. By investing in infrastructure, manufacturing, and supportive regulations, the UAE and Saudi Arabia are shaping the Gulf into a rising player in the global e-mobility landscape.
