Electric vehicles (EVs) are still in the early stages of adoption in Chad, but there is growing interest in sustainable and cost-effective transportation solutions. The country is focusing on expanding its energy infrastructure, particularly renewable energy sources like solar power, which could support the growth of EVs. With lower maintenance costs and the potential for savings on fuel, EVs are becoming an increasingly attractive alternative to gasoline vehicles in urban areas.

Chad faces several challenges in promoting EV adoption, including limited charging infrastructure, particularly outside the capital, N’Djamena, and high upfront costs for EVs. However, the government is starting to explore incentives such as tax reductions and import duty exemptions to make EVs more affordable. As infrastructure improves, especially with the development of renewable energy projects, EV adoption is expected to rise. This shift would help Chad reduce its reliance on imported fossil fuels, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and contribute to achieving its environmental and energy security goals.
