The
sector representative,
Jihad Abu Nasser, said the import of used
electric vehicles (EVs) alongside new ones has contributed to the price decline, which
has, in turn, increased demand.
Jordan’s electric car imports increased year-on-year by 16,000 vehicles to reach 55,000
cars in 2022, whereas hybrid, gasoline, and diesel-powered vehicle imports
declined, he said.
Abu
Nasser also highlighted that Jordanians are purchasing more electric vehicles, with
about 2,000 EVs cleared in January.

expert Tariq Al-Tabbaa confirmed that demand for
electric vehicles is on the
rise, noting that the Greater Amman Municipality has put forward a bid to purchase
electric buses.
Although
Tabbaa described Jordan’s EV infrastructure as "acceptable" in terms
of the number of charging stations and home chargers, he called for increasing
the number of charging stations.
Parts
for electric cars are available through sales agents or online companies, he
added.
