Deepal becomes top electric vehicle brand in Tunisia

Deepal has become the leading brand in the Tunisian electric vehicle market only seven months after its introduction. Distributed by Italcar, the brand recorded 646 registrations, securing the top position in the electric segment.

The brand's success is largely attributed to its leadership in the Range Extended Electric Vehicle (REEV) segment. This technology, which uses a thermal engine as a generator to charge the battery while driving, addresses local challenges such as the limited availability of public charging infrastructure and consumer concerns regarding range anxiety during long trips.

This rapid growth highlights the increasing interest in new energy vehicles in Tunisia and the growing influence of Chinese manufacturers in the region, driven by competitive pricing and advanced onboard technology.
