Electric vehicles are not like conventional automobiles in that they run on electricity instead of fuel. These cars use an electric motor driven by batteries, which give a steady stream of energy, in place of an internal combustion engine. Different battery types are used in electric vehicles, including nickel-based, molten salt, zinc-air, and different lithium-ion models. Electric vehicles are primarily meant to provide an alternative to traditional transportation methods that pollute the environment.
Qatar electric vehicle Market Driving Factors and Challenges
Drivers:- Government Initiatives to Promote Green Mobility and Produce Renewable Energy. The purpose of Qatar Vision 2030 is to achieve sustainable mobility goals through the reduction of carbon emissions. To this end, the government is actively pushing the use of green and renewable energy as well as the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in Qatar. As a result, it is creating profitable opportunities for overseas electric vehicle producers to make investments in the nation. To meet the growing customer demand for EVs and HEVs, financial institutions are also providing green financing solutions. As a result, the nation is pushing customers toward EV options and quickly converting to electric buses and car/taxi fleets. This will ultimately propel the electric vehicle market in Qatar through 2028.
Challenges:- Expensive & Inadequate Infrastructure for EV Charging. Due to the existence of a small number of industries, lengthy charging times, limited driving range, and expensive imports of a large variety of EVs, the Qatari electric vehicle market now confronts various obstacles. Compared to strong markets, EV adoption is comparatively considerably lower because EVs are imported by a small number of auto markets. This factor could impede the market's growth in the upcoming years unless there are notable advancements in EV size, affordability, and infrastructure for charging them.
Impact of COVID-19 on Qatar electric vehicle Market
The COVID-19 epidemic had a major effect on the market. The car and airplane industries suffered greatly as a result of the pandemic. There was a sharp decline in the quantity of cars on the road. However, sales of all EV models rose after June 2020, when lockdowns were lifted in the majority of countries. Sales of BEVs and HEVs in particular were quite good in the post-pandemic period. Considering that OEMs plan to release new EV models in the near future, a spike in EV sales is anticipated around 2023–2025. Furthermore, because of the governments' strong support for vehicle electrification and the decline in battery prices, it is expected that the industry would continue to grow rapidly during the projected period.
