The CEO of Solidarity Bahrain and the President of the Bahrain Insurance Association, Jawad Mohammed, said that there are many challenges facing the electric car sector in Bahrain, noting that electric cars will occupy 50% of global sales in the year 2035. He pointed out in a statement to “Al-Bilad “One of the challenges facing this sector is charging stations in the Kingdom and their distribution, in addition to the availability of spare parts in the Kingdom.
He explained: “Tesla cars, for example, we need to send to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates to repair the accident, which is one of the challenges.”
Muhammad explained that the other matter relates to evaluating the insurance of these cars, dealing with risks, complaints and insurance claims and how to deal with them.
He stressed the need to increase community awareness about electric cars and their importance.
Muhammad said: “We need to formulate many laws related to electric cars, such as charging stations and how to connect them to each other, and other laws in this field.”
Regarding the difficulty of evaluating insurance for these vehicles, he stressed that insurance comes based on risks, continuing by saying: “We do not know exactly what the risks are related to electric cars, and this is the difficulty in insuring them.”
