Electric vehicles (EVs) are gradually gaining momentum in Burundi, encouraged by government initiatives, a focus on renewable energy, and growing environmental awareness. While the EV market is still in the early stages, lower electricity costs and reduced maintenance requirements present EVs as a cost-effective alternative to gasoline vehicles, potentially offering significant savings on energy expenses. Major urban centers like Bujumbura (Gitega) are making strides to improve charging infrastructure, though challenges persist, including high initial purchase prices, a limited network of rural charging stations, and a narrow range of EV models available in the market. With advancements in battery technology and the expansion of infrastructure, EV adoption is projected to increase, supporting Burundi’s goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and transitioning to more sustainable transport options in the coming years.
