Clean Tech News & Views: EVs, Solar Energy, Batteries
A year ago, the Ethiopian government introduced some incentives to catalyze the adoption of electric vehicles. Ethiopia’s Ministry of Finance exempted all electric vehicles from VAT, surtax, and excise tax! They went further to exempt completely knocked-down kits from customs duty tax. This move was made to encourage the local assembly and component manufacturing sectors for electric vehicles.

Moses also spotted Golden Dragon electric minibuses as well as higher capacity Golden Dragon electric buses. Moses also reports that he did not see any public chargers, and that most of the people he spoke with just charge their EVs at home. Ethiopia has some of the lowest electricity tariffs on the continent, with residential tariffs close to 1 US cent/kWh. Given that the price of petrol is close to $2 per liter, EV owners in the country can expect to save quite a lot on fuel costs.
