Electric vehicles gain traction in Jordan

The number of EVs in Jordan rose 103 percent by the end of July from the same period last year. The rise was 167 percent for all of 2022 that also saw imports of petrol and diesel powered cars drop 27 percent and hybrid vehicle imports fall almost 25 percent.

Electric car sales are surging in Jordan, drivers and showrooms attribute to high petrol prices rather than concerns about air pollution and climate change. They are selling over 100 electric cars per month", said a sales consultant at a dealership in Amman.
