Driving an electric car in Ethiopia will cost you just 1.5% of the cost of a fuel car, according to a new report by German think tank Agora. It makes Ethiopia the best place to own an EV in East Africa. An analysis by the think tank shows it costs $7.7 to drive 100 km in a petrol car in Ethiopia but just $0.12 in an electric car, by far the cheapest in the region.
Agora analysed prices in Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda, with an assumed energy consumption per 100 km of 9 liters /15.5 kWh. It found charging an EV is much cheaper than filling up a fuel car in all five countries.
At just 1.1 US cents per unit, Ethiopia has some of the lowest power prices in the world. It makes EV ownership in the country cheaper than almost anywhere else in Africa.
