Almost a year ago, Mobility for Africa joined with PManifold, an EV consultancy company in India, to work on a consultancy to develop Zimbabwe’s Electric Vehicle Policy Framework and Roadmap. The process, which was initiated by Ministry of Environment, Tourism and Ministry of Energy & Power through funding from CTCN (Climate Technology Climate Network) and UNEP DT unit, has been a fascinating journey into understanding the challenges of the transport sector, the potential of electric mobility to address them, and the urgent need to put in place aa regulatory framework for this emerging sector. With momentum growing now around the world to transition to green transport, there has been a flurry of activity across countries in the continent. While East Africa has moved quickly into this space, now home to more than 50 start-ups working on getting motor bikes taxis to go green, there is now a push in Southern Africa to start the shift. In Zimbabwe, like many countries in the region, vehicle classification is outdated, managed by multiple departments and Ministries and have few incentives for either industry or potential customers to go electric. The draft policy along with targets will hopefully be adopted in early 2022 and can speed up the action and investment needed to make this transition a reality.'
