Ethiopia is adopting electric vehicles (EVs) to reduce reliance on costly fuel imports amid global fuel price spikes.

In 2024, the country banned the import of petrol and diesel vehicles and now has over 115,000 EVs on its roads.

The shift to EVs helps alleviate the financial strain of $4.2 billion annual fuel imports and $128 million monthly fuel subsidies.

Currently, 90% of Ethiopia's electricity is generated from solar and hydropower, making EVs cheaper to operate.
