IV. Saudi Arabia's new energy electric vehicle and charging station market trends

Under the guidance of Saudi Arabia's "Vision 2030", the new energy electric vehicle and charging station market has developed rapidly and is expected to become one of the markets with the greatest growth potential in the Middle East in the next few years. The demand for electric vehicles continues to rise, especially with the support of policies and subsidies, the market penetration rate will steadily increase. The younger generation of consumers has a high awareness of environmental protection, and they have gradually become the main force in the market, driving the growth of demand for electric vehicles. The Saudi government is actively planning the construction of charging infrastructure, and plans to build thousands of charging stations across the country by 2030, and introduce smart charging technology to enhance user experience.

In addition, the establishment of local production and supply chain is also one of the important trends in the market. The Saudi government promotes the local manufacturing of electric vehicles and charging equipment through policy support, reduces dependence on imports, and creates a large number of jobs. The entry of international companies, especially the cooperation with well-known brands such as Tesla and BYD, not only brings advanced technology to the market, but also improves Saudi Arabia's manufacturing capabilities and technical level through localized production.

In terms of new energy technology research and development, Saudi Arabia continues to invest in breakthroughs in battery technology and clean energy power supply, and is committed to achieving long-range and fast charging, and introducing clean energy such as solar energy into charging stations to further reduce carbon emissions. This technological innovation will promote the efficient and environmentally friendly development of the electric vehicle market. With the development of the market, Saudi Arabia will also gradually improve electric vehicle policies and regulations, including driving standards and charging facility specifications, to provide a stable policy environment. The multi-level development of Saudi Arabia's new energy electric vehicle and charging station market not only provides growth momentum for the local economy, but also demonstrates Saudi Arabia's ambition in the field of new energy and sets a new example for the global market.

 

V. Overview of Saudi Arabia's new energy electric vehicle and charging station industry

Saudi Arabia's new energy electric vehicle and charging station industry has risen rapidly, showing a multi-level development trend of extensive layout, technological innovation and policy promotion. The Saudi government is committed to promoting the popularization of electric vehicles to reduce dependence on oil and achieve a more sustainable future. In the early stages of the industry, Saudi Arabia focused on building charging infrastructure and attracting international electric vehicle manufacturers to enter the local market. These measures provide a solid foundation for the promotion and use of electric vehicles and accelerate the popularization of electric transportation.

Infrastructure construction is a core part of the industry. Led by the Public Investment Fund (PIF), it will work with Saudi Electricity Company to deploy a fast charging network across the country, planning to install more than 5,000 charging stations by 2030 to cover major cities and traffic arteries. In addition, the Saudi government has taken positive policy measures to provide incentives such as land use and tax exemptions to encourage private enterprises to participate in the construction of charging stations. The gradual coverage of the charging network not only facilitates the use of electric vehicles, but also enhances user confidence.

In terms of production and supply chain, Saudi Arabia hopes to attract global brands such as Tesla and BYD to set up factories locally, drive the local production of electric vehicles, and gradually build an independent supply chain system. The Saudi government has provided a series of incentives to promote technology transfer and localization of the industrial chain. This not only enhances the capacity of Saudi manufacturing, but also creates a large number of jobs for the local economy.

Technological innovation is also a focus of Saudi Arabia's new energy industry, especially in the fields of battery technology and smart charging. Saudi Arabia is actively investing in advanced technologies such as long-range and fast charging, and plans to introduce clean energy such as solar energy at some charging stations to further promote the environmental performance of electric vehicles. This combination of clean energy supply and smart charging represents Saudi Arabia's cutting-edge exploration in the electric vehicle ecosystem.

 

VI. Saudi Arabia's new energy electric vehicle and charging station market trends

In recent years, Saudi Arabia's new energy electric vehicle and charging station market has shown a rapid development trend driven by government policies and private sector investment. First, the Saudi government clearly pointed out the strategic direction of developing sustainable transportation and new energy in the "Vision 2030" to promote the popularization of electric vehicles and charging facilities across the country. To this end, the government has cooperated with institutions such as the Public Investment Fund (PIF) and Saudi Electricity Company to plan to establish a wide charging network in the next few years. In addition, Saudi Arabia has attracted world-renowned electric vehicle companies including Tesla and BYD to actively enter the market through policy incentives and tax incentives.

At the same time, the local manufacturing industry is also developing rapidly, and Saudi Arabia is gradually increasing the local production capacity of electric vehicle parts and charging facilities to reduce its dependence on imports. Due to the gradual increase in young consumers' attention to environmental protection and the application of smart charging and fast charging technologies, the demand in the electric vehicle market is expected to expand further in the next few years. This series of measures not only effectively supports the promotion of the electric vehicle market, but also promotes the coverage and improvement of charging infrastructure.

 

VII. Market share of new energy electric vehicles and charging stations in Saudi Arabia

In the Saudi new energy electric vehicle market, international brands occupy a considerable market share. Tesla has become one of the market leaders with its advanced technology and brand awareness, especially in the high-end market with significant competitive advantages. Chinese brands such as BYD have also emerged in the Saudi market and won the favor of some consumers through their high cost performance. In addition, European brands such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz also have a certain share in the Saudi mid-to-high-end market, meeting consumers' demand for luxury electric vehicles.

Saudi local brands have also been actively entering the electric vehicle market in recent years. Brands such as Neom and Lucid Motors have begun to invest in R&D and production in the field of new energy vehicles, trying to increase the market share of local brands. In the future, with policy support and the enhancement of local production capacity, local brands are expected to gradually increase their market share. In addition, in the field of charging stations, companies such as ChargePoint and Saudi Electricity Company are actively expanding their market layout and increasing their market share through joint ventures and technical cooperation to meet Saudi Arabia's growing charging needs.Analysis of the Middle East Saudi Arabia new energy electric vehicle and charging station market in 2025 (Part Ⅱ)
