AutoExec Summary
Ethiopia has banned the sale of internal-combustion vehicles and will only allow the import of electric cars, citing the high cost of importing fossil fuels and the abundance of renewable energy in the country. The government is encouraging the adoption of electric vehicles by exempting them from taxes and investing in the power grid. Ethiopia’s power generation capacity has grown significantly, with a focus on hydropower. This move will make Ethiopia the first country to implement a ban on new petrol and diesel vehicle sales, beating the UK and the European Union.
