Electric vehicles (EVs) in Lesotho are still in the early stages of adoption, though interest is growing due to environmental concerns and the need for cleaner transportation options. The government has been exploring incentives to support EV adoption, but infrastructure development remains a key challenge. Charging stations are scarce, especially outside the capital, Maseru. However, Lesotho’s reliance on hydropower and renewable energy sources presents a strong foundation for EVs, with the potential for reduced greenhouse gas emissions. The high upfront cost of EVs remains a barrier, but as prices drop and infrastructure improves, EVs may play a larger role in Lesotho’s efforts to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and move toward sustainable transportation.

In the long term, increased government support and technological advances may facilitate wider EV adoption in Lesotho, helping to lower emissions and contribute to the country’s environmental goals.
