In the capital of Tajikistan, Dushanbe, electric taxis – many of them from China – are everywhere. The city's mayor has mandated that all taxis must go electric by September. Chinese EV brands like BYD, JAG, and Chery are popular here – affordable, reliable, and packed with features.

"BYD is even better than Mercedes," one local said.

Chinese car brands now make up nearly half of Dushanbe's EV market, according to local distributor Koinot Auto.

Looks like Dushanbe is driving toward a greener future – with Chinese EVs leading the way.
