The electric vehicle revolution will offer Africa the opportunity to transform its transportation sector, participate in the global energy transition and ensure collective mitigation against carbon emissions.

Accelerating towards an electric vehicle future, the declining cost of batteries, performance improvements, and electric mobility are rapidly transforming the energy industry, cutting emissions, and contributing to the global energy transition.

As Europe and the U.S. face losses in gas tax income with the rise of electric vehicles, sub-Saharan Africa has opportunity to factor in already existing fuel duties and subsidies, in the development of the region’s own policies toward e-mobility.
