Riyadh – Special Report -by Mohamed Ragab
Renowned Saudi EV expert and content creator Mohammed Fahad has officially announced a strategic partnership with a group of leading Asian electric vehicle technology companies, aimed at enhancing EV infrastructure across the Gulf region, with a focus on smart charging stations and intelligent vehicle systems.
The collaboration follows several months of technical dialogue, during which Fahad exchanged insights with engineers and product developers to explore how global EV technologies can be adapted to fit the unique climate and consumer needs of the Gulf — such as extreme heat, high driving frequency, and regional grid challenges.

From Reviewing Products to Influencing Their Development
Over the years, Mohammed Fahad has built a strong reputation for producing detailed, data-driven EV content, earning the trust of manufacturers seeking to enter the Arab market.
In this new partnership, Fahad served in an advisory role, contributing to the testing of fast-charging technologies designed for urban centers in Saudi Arabia, and provided feedback on thermal battery management systems tailored for high-temperature environments.
> "What we need is not just importing technology — we need to reshape it to suit our realities. That’s what meaningful collaboration looks like," Fahad stated.

Three Pillars of Collaboration: Global Tech, Local Needs
The partnership is centered around three key initiatives:
1. Studying Gulf consumer behavior in EV usage to optimize software and user interfaces
2. Piloting smart charging solutions that integrate with mobile apps and offer real-time energy usage tracking
3. Joint development programs to test EV models designed specifically for the Gulf market in future phases
Fahad confirmed that the initial rollout will target three major Saudi cities, in coordination with local stakeholders aiming to fast-track the clean energy transition.

From Content Creator to Industry Collaborator
This milestone reflects Mohammed Fahad’s evolution from an independent reviewer to an active contributor in shaping the region’s smart mobility ecosystem.
What once started as awareness-focused videos has now developed into real-world influence, guiding product decisions based on localized insight and on-ground experience.
> "I never imagined that a YouTube review could one day lead me to sit at the development table with major manufacturers — but that’s the power of trust and consistency," Fahad reflected.
