The climb to Jebel Shams asks more of a battery's cooling than anything on flat ground does, and the descent runs almost entirely on regeneration. That is easier on the brakes than it sounds — so much easier that the discs corrode from disuse rather than wear out, which is a fault we look for here specifically.
The ROX is an off-roader with a plug, which in Oman is a combination that actually gets used, and the work it needs here is hybrid drivetrain and high-voltage systems checked after real off-road use, not just on paper. Both get done in one place, which for an electric car matters more than it does for an engine: the diagnostic access is most of the job. BYD is searched for in Oman more than any other car, electric or not — by a distance, and more than Tesla. What arrives at the workshop matches that: more Atto 3s, Seals and Song Plus than everything else combined.
