By 2030, at least 30 percent of every new vehicles that will be sold globally will be EVs.
By 2050, almost all vehicles that will be sold globally will be EVs.
All major automakers from Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Mazda, BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagen etc are shifting to electric vehicles over the next decades.
It’s about time the Kenyan government embraces EVs through tax incentives like in developed countries and build a supercharger network accross the country.
Why can’t the government pass a bill to reduce the taxes of importing electric vehicles in Kenya?
It will be a concern if by 2030, 99 percent of vehicles sold in Kenya will be gas powered cars.
Electric vehicles are cheaper to fuel and maintain than internal combustion cars.
Hakuna kupeleka gari service juu hakuna engine.
Token ya 1k inakupatia mileage ya 500 km (Tesla Model X). This means you can drive to Kisumu and back to Nairobi and spend only 2k on fuel with an EV like the Tesla Model X. If you’re driving a smaller EV, you could spend less on fuel.
The latest EV battery packs can last over 500,000 km before you need to replace it. In the next decade, we will have EV batteries that can last over 1 million km without replacement.
If you’re into stocks, invest in battery making companies that are making deals with major auto manufacturers to supply batteries. The demand is about to shoot through the roof.
My opinion on the popularity of EVs fades by the day. That one EV needs batteries that use up half a mountain of raw material to construct. Bana if the whole of Eastleigh residents drive EVs, Congo will be reduced one large Menengai crater.
Lithium is a rare earth mineral. Which means it’s found in small quantities.
2nd is charging is not cheap. Especially if doing it away from home. Also government will adjust taxes accordingly. Bill za stima will be high as we reduce gas use.
Whichever way you look at it, electricity will still be cheaper than petrol and diesel.
Most of the electricity will be produced locally, and we won’t be energy dependant on oil producing countries.
I am not sure about that. Gas is 2 to 3 times cheaper than electricity. In future my guess is that we will have a hybrid system. Gasoline, hydrogen, gas, electric capabilities. Only way Kenya can be energy dependent is open a nuclear plant or two.
Not practical . These cars are constantly been tracked. A Tesla can show everywhere it’s been since construction. Imagine a car you cannot use when it’s charging!,!,that’s over 45% of its life :::::::PLUS yo……imagine there is no jerry-can for electric current yet.
