Nigeria
Ethiopia
India
Bangladesh
Vietnam
Indonesia
Philippines
Kenya

Brazil
Again, I just don't see the demand for fossil fuels decreasing any time in the near future, but I'm interesting in alternative viewpoints.

Two of these will not be huge oil consumers, Ethiopia and Kenya are pro BEV to the point where one implemented an ICE ban already that had to be walked back and the other is launching its own domestic EV maker...Not to mention Vietnam with Vinfast if it ever gets its act together... Saudi Arabia and Turkey even have Ceer and Togg respectively...
