Article Summary

Egypt's market now offers seven electric vehicles priced under EGP 1 million as of October. The list starts with the Citroen Ami at EGP 585,000 and reaches the Arc Fox T1 Plus at EGP 994,900. Options include the Fiat Topolino, Geely EX2, Dongfeng BOX and BYD Dolphin Surf 2027. The mix of small urban EVs and crossovers gives buyers accessible electric alternatives.

Seven electric vehicles priced below EGP 1 million are now available in the Egyptian market, according to an October survey. The Citroen Ami tops the list as the cheapest at EGP 585,000.

Citroen Ami and Fiat Topolino: Urban Mobility Options

The number is striking. The Citroen Ami stands as the cheapest EV on the Egyptian market, starting at EGP 585,000, aimed primarily at short city trips. The Fiat Topolino electric is available from EGP 725,000, competing in the small daily-mobility segment.

The Fiat Topolino features a compact design with two seats, making it suitable for urban use and short distances, though it doesn't offer the space or versatility of conventional cars. The obvious question: are these two enough for an Egyptian family's needs?

Geely EX2 and Dongfeng BOX: Specs and Pricing

The Geely EX2 saw a price increase in October, with the Pro trim starting at EGP 789,900 and the Max trim reaching EGP 899,900. It runs a 39.4 kWh battery with a claimed range of about 325 km under WLTP, targeting daily-use buyers.

The Dongfeng BOX comes in two trims: BOX 330 at EGP 770,000 and BOX 430 at EGP 870,000. Claimed range reaches 330 km for the first and 430 km for the second under CLTC, with differences in battery capacity and equipment — a 100 km range gap for a EGP 100,000 price difference.

Arc Fox T1 and BYD Dolphin Surf: The One-Million Ceiling

The Arc Fox T1 is offered in two trims below EGP 1 million, with the Pro at about EGP 924,900 and the Plus at EGP 994,900. It provides a compact EV option with a claimed range of around 425 km for the Pro trim according to published model data.

The BYD Dolphin Surf 2027 is listed at EGP 949,900. It runs a 38 kWh battery — a figure that puts it in direct competition with the Geely EX2 in roughly the same price bracket.

The seven models span EGP 585,000 to EGP 994,900, meaning the gap between the cheapest and priciest approaches EGP 410,000. Are they worth buying over petrol? The answer depends on daily use and commute distance — but Citroen prices and Fiat prices on the used market offer a useful comparison point for anyone weighing the switch.
