Kenya’s progress toward electric mobility (e-mobility) has been slow, not for a lack of ambition, but because of a policy framework that presents several implementation gaps.
While e-mobility promises cleaner transportation and reduced fossil fuel dependency, the draft National E-Mobility Policy launched in March 2024 has yet to provide a comprehensive roadmap to realise this potential. Weak coordination, insufficient focus on renewable energy, and unclear roles for key stakeholders, particularly county governments, are major setback to its implementation.
