Gharaibeh also revealed that there
are expectations of a 68 percent annual growth in demand for electric cars
imported to the free zone. He pointed out that the volume of traditional fuel
cars leaving the free zone to the local market decreased to 27.1 percent, and
the volume of hybrid cars was 24.9 percent in 2022.
Meanwhile, he notes a 169 percent
increase in the number of electric cars registered in the market in 2022
compared to 2021, according to Al-Mamlaka.
StabilityGharaibeh said that the stability of
fees and taxes, and the increase in the prices of oil derivatives, have greatly
contributed to the growth in demand for electric cars.
He believed that encouraging the
trade of electric cars in Jordan "will reduce spending on traditional energy
sources and lead to a significant reduction in fuel consumption."
He added that reducing customs
duties and general taxes on electric cars contributes to the rapid transition
from traditional cars to electric cars.
