Chery Group's electric models are gaining ground in the Middle East, with a CleanTechnica report contrasting an EV against the Land Rover Freelander as a sign that petrol cars are losing their dominance. The report also ties shifting car-buying trends to regional developments involving Iran, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and US politics, framing it as another milestone in the shift to electric vehicles.
Why now: A new report claims electric cars are overtaking petrol models in a region long seen as a petrol-car stronghold.
