Africa should develop its own electric vehicle agenda

The future of transportation appears to be electric. More and more people across the globe are opting for electric vehicles and the industry is undeniably on a positive trajectory. According to the international energy agency, the number of electric cars, trucks,vans and buses on the world`s roads is on course to increase from 11 million vehicles to 145 million by the end of the decade.


This growth is being driven by the technological advancement in charging systems and battery ranges. As well as policies being adopted by governments to divest from fossil fuel s and address the climate crisis. The substantial investments automobile giants are making to go electric are further signs that electric vehicles are the future.
