The uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) in Kenya has grown nearly fourfold since the State introduced a special subsidised tariff in a bid to spur the uptake of the units, as the country seeks to reduce the environmental impact of the transport sector.
Kenya had 4,193 EVs as of the end of December 2024, a growth of 295.9 percent from the 1,059 units that were on the road in December 2023, just before the special tariff for electric vehicles was introduced.
