China has been quietly driving an electric vehicle revolution in many parts of Africa, creating jobs and supporting a transition away from fossil fuels. A raft of African governments are welcoming Chinese EV imports and production. This comes even as the United States and the European Union slap higher tariffs on Chinese EV imports in a bid to counter competitiveness. EV adoption is on the rise in East Africa, with the 2023 Africa E-Mobility Alliance report recognizing Tanzania as a regional leader in the transition having around 5,000 vehicles on its roads.
