Saudis don’t eat their own dogfood?
Are the Saudis sitting on vast lithium, cobalt, and copper reserves?
Saudi Arabia makes its electricity from petrochemicals. What’s the sense in making an electric vehicle?
What happens when you run out of juice while traveling in the empty quarter? Just dry up and blow away?
No doubt the AWD system has a Sand Mode.
Talk about VIRTUE SIGNALLING, the UAE only uses fossil fuels to make commercial electricity.
Which means their electric cars will still be running on gasoline, except it will be significantly less efficient than ICE cars because the petrol gets burned to produce electricity, then the electricity gets transmitted over electrical lines to the power outlets, then plugged into the car and converted into chemical energy, which waits for the owner to convert it into electrical energy with the accelerator pedal.
So there are at least two unnecessary conversion in the process, plus resistance losses over the power lines.
All so they can say their cars are “zero emissions.” Which is a lie from jump street, regardless where it’s spoken.
Does it look like a Trans Am?
Never let it be said that the Saudi Royal Family does not have a sense of humor.
