Long lines have been forming at gas stations in Ethiopia\u2019s capital, Addis Ababa, amid fuel\u00a0shortages\u00a0and a price\u00a0spike\u00a0in recent months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But electric vehicle driver Mikial Belayneh avoids them completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI no longer line up for petrol on the road,\u201d Belayneh, an Addis resident, told CNN. A full charge of his imported Toyota bZ4X \u2013 a popular EV in the country \u2013 \u201cis more than enough for two days.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belayneh, who charges his car at home, is part of rapid transition to EVs in Addis Ababa, a fast-growing city in the horn of Africa at the center of Ethiopia\u2019s goal to hoist millions of people out of poverty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the polluting cars and trucks rumbling along the roads, cleaner \u2014 and quieter \u2014 vehicles are joining the traffic. Electric buses, smaller 15-seat minibuses, cars and motorbikes are popping up on the streets of the capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are\u00a0around 100,000 EVs\u00a0in Ethiopia so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ethiopian government estimates that number\u00a0will more than quadruple\u00a0by 2032. That\u2019s largely because the national government took the extraordinary step earlier this year of banning the import\u00a0of all\u00a0gas-powered passenger vehicles\u00a0\u2014 becoming the first nation in the world to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also effectively slashed the customs tax on imported cars: The tax on gas vehicles was up to 200% before they were banned, while the import tax for fully assembled EVs is just 15%, according to the country\u2019s\u00a0finance ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s part of a government-led effort to get more EVs on the streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower rates are also spurring more local EV manufacturing. Hundreds of the vehicles were assembled by Ethiopia-based Belayneh Kindie Group using parts imported from China. Besufekad Shewaye, manager at the company, told CNN that import tariffs are \u201calmost zero percent\u201d for EV parts that are assembled in Ethiopia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNowadays most vehicle owners prefer EVs, especially light vehicles,\u201d Shewaye said. \u201cThe demand is increasing from day to day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A rapid shift from gasoline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ethiopia is leaning hard into EVs in part because importing fuel is expensive, and 96% of the country\u2019s electricity\u00a0comes from clean hydropower\u00a0\u2013 a dual win for the country\u2019s finances and the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey really are a clean-energy country,\u201d said Jane Akumu, a Kenya-based program officer at the United Nations Environment Programme. \u201cWhy are you importing oil while you have local electricity that you can actually use for your vehicles?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government recognized it had a bountiful renewable energy source in the country when it started shifting towards EVs, said Assefa Hadis Hagos, a transportation adviser for the Ethiopian Ministry of Transport and Logistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet the total ban on gas-powered car imports, passed in January, took many in the region by surprise. \u201cWe didn\u2019t know that the government was going to fully back a total ban,\u201d Akumu said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ethiopia, which has for years been ruled by a one-party authoritarian government, has shown it can quickly implement environmental policies that would likely take longer in more democratic nations. In the early 2000s, the nation moved rapidly to ban inefficient and dangerous leaded gasoline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOther countries require more consultative process, more participation,\u201d said Akumu, who also spearheaded the effort to eradicate leaded gasoline in Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The number of cars on the road in Ethiopia is still quite low, about 1.2 million in total \u2014 or one car per 1,000 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the US,\u00a0more than 91% of Americans\u00a0own at least one car. In Africa\u2019s most populous of country Nigeria, it\u2019s\u00a011.8 million cars total, or about 54 cars\u00a0per 1,000 people. The Ethiopian government had kept car ownership rates low with its dramatically high taxes on gas-powered vehicles that cost consumers up to three times the value of car imports\u00a0\u2014 part of an effort to get more people to use public transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the government has reduced or eliminated some of the taxes for imported EVs, buying an electric car is still expensive. \u201cIn terms of who is buying EVs, it\u2019s definitely those in the high-income groups,\u201d said Iman Abubaker, who is based in Ethiopia and works on sustainable transportation for the World Resources Institute, a global nonprofit organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this reason, Abubaker\u2019s group and others are working to push the Ethiopian government and others around the continent to invest more in electric buses and public transport, so the efficient vehicles can be used by people of all income levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the cost, Ethiopia\u2019s vehicle fleet has seen a gradual but sustained rise in the number of EVs displacing combustion engine\u00a0cars. Within two years of the country\u2019s 10-year goal to bring in more than 100,000 EVs \u2014 started in 2022 \u2014 EVs already account for nearly 10% of its vehicles, according to\u00a0CleanTechnica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ethiopia\u2019s government \u201cfeels good\u201d about the pace of the transition, Hagos, the transportation advisor, told CNN. He added the government has a \u201ccommitment\u201d to reducing climate and environmental pollution from gas cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EV buses and boda bodas<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For now, Ethiopia stands alone in its ban of imported gas cars. The country\u2019s ban is \u201cdefinitely a one-off,\u201d said Moses Nderitu, the Kenya managing director of electric bus company BasiGo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But EV growth around the continent is happening even without such bans. In Nairobi, Kenya, electric motorbikes are seeing startling growth. Last year, Uber\u00a0rolled out a fleet\u00a0of eye-catching yellow motorbikes \u2013 known locally as boda bodas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the Kenyan government passed tax incentives, there was a 500% jump in electric motorbikes on the road in a single year, industry experts told CNN, going from the low hundreds to about 3,000 bikes on the streets of Nairobi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That number is still a small fraction of the 200,000 total bikes on Nairobi\u2019s streets, but it has already helped cut down on noise pollution in parts of the city, said Hezbon Mose, the Kenya country director for e-bike company Ampersand, which has fleets of bikes in both Kenya and Rwanda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Ethiopian capital, stricter measures, which include the\u00a0non-issuance of licenses for fuel-run motorbikes,\u00a0have been implemented by the city\u2019s authorities who approved a timeline in April for gasoline motorcycles to be converted to electric-powered models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier in March, the city introduced its\u00a0first fleet of electric buses\u00a0for public transit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

American-style electric public buses \u2014 more drab than the colorful and music playing gas-powered matatu<\/em> buses in Kenya \u2014 are also starting to be driven more on Nairobi streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Mose and Nderitu see EVs on the rise across the continent, as some countries look to get off oil in favor of cheaper electricity. Much more infrastructure and government subsidies are needed in many countries to get more people to go electric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI look at electric vehicles exactly as we looked at the mobile telephone market 30 years ago,\u201d Nderitu told CNN. \u201cWhen the rest of the world started adopting mobile phones, there was no infrastructure (in Africa). There was a very small amount of people who were connected to phones. Today you look at Nairobi, you hardly find anybody without a phone.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
