There are around 100,000 EVs in Ethiopia so far, the government estimates that number will more than quadruple by 2032 .

The national government took the extraordinary step earlier this year of banning the import of all gas-powered passenger vehicles.

The number of cars on the road in Ethiopia is still quite low, about 1.2 million in total — or one car per 1,000 people.

In Nairobi , Kenya , electric motorbikes are seeing startling growth.

The city introduced its first fleet of electric buses for public transit in March .

Industry experts see EV growth across Africa as some countries look to get off oil in favor of cheaper electricity.

More infrastructure and government subsidies are needed in many countries to get more people to go electric.
