What is the difference between EVs and hybrids?
Battery electric vehicles (BEV)
Powered only by a rechargeable battery and electric motor, without direct tailpipe emissions while driving.
Hybrids (HEV / PHEV)
Combine combustion and electric propulsion; may or may not be plug-in. The official figures do not distinguish the subtypes.
Charging infrastructure
Scale-up depends on power reliability, grid capacity, and public and private charging points.

Current situation and challenges
Transport Ministry registrations show an established market for electric and hybrid vehicles. Hybrid registrations significantly outnumber full EVs, with Damascus leading in the published provincial breakdown.
Officially identified challenges include unstable electricity supply, scarce public and rapid charging, specialist maintenance and spare parts, import standards, and end-of-life battery management.
Zero tailpipe emissions do not mean zero lifecycle emissions: the climate benefit depends on the electricity generation mix and charging sources.
