What's Causing Oil-Rich Countries to Embrace Electric Vehicles?

Oil filled countries such as United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Saudia Arabia have the reputation of their V12s and V8 super-cars roaming their streets.

In that case, if gas prices are not an issue and oil and gas is what these countries economy heavily rely on, why would these countries support Electric Vehicles?
