Study on Electric Vehicle Buying Habits
YallaMotor, the largest automotive website in the region, will conduct a study on the purchasing habits of electric vehicle buyers in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, highlighting the results of an online survey. The findings will address critical questions such as:
- What range, in kilometers, must a fully charged electric vehicle provide for you to consider purchasing one?
- How many hours should it take to fully charge an electric vehicle for you to think about buying one?
- Are buyers willing to purchase an electric vehicle as their primary mode of transportation?
Director General's Statement
According to Jorge Pialad, the General Manager at YallaMotor: "Although the survey results will be revealed during the Smart Mobility World Summit 2023, an increased awareness has been noted among car buyers, as preliminary results indicate that more participants have been driving hybrid or electric vehicles over the past year."
