I'm not sure if the infrastructure is there for EVs, but if so it would be worth considering.

Oh you would be surprised. Local politicians own shares in the petroleum industry. They're blocking EVs or allow them (with a huge tax, almost doubling their prices).
You'd also be lucky hitting 60km/h on the highways here. 20-30km/h would be your average speed on a normal bustling day.
