Did you know that Ethiopia has implemented a complete ban on the importation of internal combustion engine vehicles? Not many people do!

Come to our fourth webinar for the year on 16 July at 8pm AEST to learn about the electric revolution that is underway in Africa. This webinar will cover the landscape of the electric vehicle transition in Africa, including market nuances from a 102-year-old automotive manufacturing industry in South Africa, to Ethiopia as the world's first country to introduce an immediate ban of fossil fuel car imports.

Developments in East Africa on the flood of electric 2-wheelers, to electric 3-wheelers seizing the mobility and energy poverty in Southern Africa. The closing reflections will include the official ministerial endorsement of the Continental Framework on Electric Mobility in Africa.
