In Summary
Electric mobility is expanding at a rapid pace
globally, with the total electric car fleet exceeding 5.1 million last
year, compared with 3.1 million in 2017.
Car owners have a choice of between a full electric vehicle, a hybrid car (both electric and fuel-fired), or a normal fuel car.
But
globally, attention is shifting towards vehicles with zero and low
carbon emissions as part of measures to facilitate transition to a
global clean energy economy.
Uganda and Rwanda are racing ahead of their East African neighbours in
the global switch to electric motoring, even as infrastructure
shortcomings limit investments in the emerging sector.
