Today marks World EV Day, a global celebration of electric vehicles and a call to accelerate the transition towards cleaner, more sustainable transportation. As the world moves forward in adopting electric mobility, Africa is beginning to embrace this shift, with significant developments in e-mobility and infrastructure that signal a promising future for the continent.
In countries like Kenya, South Africa, and Rwanda, strides are being made in electric vehicle adoption and the development of charging infrastructure, showing that Africa is ready to be part of the global e-mobility movement. However, much more needs to be done to expand access, lower costs, and develop supportive policies across the continent.
This momentum will continue to grow at the Smarter Mobility Africa (SMA) Summit, taking place from 2-4 October 2024 in Johannesburg. The summit will gather leading innovators, policymakers, and stakeholders to discuss solutions for advancing electric mobility in Africa. With a focus on smarter and more sustainable urban transportation, the SMA Summit will be a key platform for driving action and collaboration across the sector.
As we celebrate World EV Day, it’s clear that Africa has a critical role to play in the future of global electric mobility. The upcoming SMA Summit promises to keep this conversation going and inspire further progress toward a greener, more connected continent.
Stay tuned for more exciting developments in the world of e-mobility!
