Heard of first-ever EV from Lebanon? A tale of driving ahead despite challenges
HT Auto Desk
Lebanon would hardly ever figure as a likely place where an electric vehicle can be developed and yet, Quds Rise has been officially showcased as the first 'Made-in-Lebanon' EV that is all set to hit select markets and is likely to have a whole lot of potential to figure in the models shortlisted by prospective buyers. The journey of the EV - from an idea to actual production - may have been peppered with mammoth challenges but the fact that the model is here and ready for markets may be a massive achievement for Lebanese-born Palestinian businessman Jihad Mohammad.
