Availability of electric mobility policy and its potential for adoption in Africa
系统评估了非洲54国电动出行政策,发现31国有官方文件,卢旺达得分最高(8/10),但直接补贴仅5国,非财政激励几乎缺失,仅3国有劳动力培训。
This paper assesses the availability of policies implemented by African countries to accelerate the adoption of electric mobility. This was accomplished using a systematic review that collected and analysed policy-related documents from all 54 African countries. The documents were evaluated against a scoring framework of 15 policy areas categorised as fiscal incentives, non-fiscal incentives, administrative measures, and regulatory measures. The results indicate a shortage of electric vehicle policies, with 31 countries having official documents. Rwanda emerged as the country with the highest available policies, scoring 8 out of 10 on a normalised scale. While fiscal policies such as import tax exemptions are available in 21 countries, critical gaps in other impactful measures. For instance, direct purchase subsidies are available in only 5 countries, while non-fiscal incentives are almost entirely absent. Only three countries have established workforce training programs, and just one has mandated EV charging infrastructure through building regulations.
