How Ethiopia’s EV Boom Is Shaping the Future of Clean Transport | Firstpost Africa Ethiopia is spearheading an electric vehicle (EV) revolution, driven by fuel shortages and soaring petrol prices. With around 100,000 EVs on the roads and an ambitious goal to quadruple this number by 2032, the nation has become a pioneer in green transportation. A groundbreaking ban on gas-powered cars and significant reductions in EV import taxes have made electric vehicles more accessible. Leveraging its clean energy resources, Ethiopia is addressing both economic and environmental challenges.
