Elon Musk's Teslas in Dubai: Driven by the State and the Rich - Bloomberg:
Dubai has ambitious goals for electric cars. Early adopters get free parking, no tolls and discounts on registration fees. Even the power is gratis at the 200 charging stations the government installed throughout the city.
The trouble is the public is just fine without them.
The biggest buyer of electric vehicles is the government itself, dealers say, with hundreds sold in bulk to local authorities over the past few years. The few others spotted speeding up Dubai’s highways tend to be Teslas, which start at 335,730 dirhams ($91,400). Expats will splash out in this relatively low-tax city, but they often go for flashy sports cars.
