How the score works (published formula)

A weighted average of four pillars from catalogue data only: Heat range 35% (from the Real-Range Index), Charging 25% (power + 10–80% time), Value 20% (price vs its body-class median), Dealer support 20% (Gulf markets with an official dealer). A pillar with no data is dropped and weights renormalise — no number is invented. Pure EVs only.

After-sales

Agent in the Gulf, not in your market

There is a factory agent in nearby markets — warranty usually does not transfer automatically, and servicing means moving the car. Ask before buying.

Agent in Bahrain: None
Vehicle warranty: Not published
Battery warranty: Not published

“Not published” means we could not find terms stated by the maker or its Gulf agent — not that the car has no warranty. We do not print an unpublished figure, because it is the one a buyer would plan around.

Seen in these markets through a dealer or independent channel. Verify the warranty provider before paying.

Independent importer

It may be in stock or inbound at an independent showroom without an official dealer. Warranty there comes from the seller, not guaranteed — exactly what our managed EV Gulf route replaces.

Import via EV Gulf

Inspection + freight + registration

We source it for you through our network of contracted partners: VIN, battery and software checked before shipping, then local registration — one contract, one invoice, instead of coordinating separate parties yourself.
