Kenya needs $47.26 million (Sh6.12 billion) to install 10,000 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, highlighting the substantial costs the country faces in scaling up clean-powered transport.

A policy document from the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum shows that the project will be implemented in three phases, beginning with 17 towns along the country’s major highways from Mombasa to Busia, at a cost of $9.16 million (Sh1.18 billion).
