Electric vehicles (EVs) in Mozambique are in the early stages of growth, but there is significant potential for expansion. The government has been gradually introducing policies to support EV adoption, particularly with a focus on clean energy and reducing carbon emissions. Mozambique’s abundant renewable energy resources, including hydroelectric, solar, and wind power, provide a strong foundation for the environmental benefits of EVs.

Despite these advantages, challenges persist. The country’s charging infrastructure is underdeveloped, especially in rural areas, which limits the accessibility of EVs for a broader population. Additionally, the high upfront cost of EVs remains a significant barrier, particularly for the average consumer. As the price of batteries continues to decrease globally, EVs may become more affordable in the future.

With increasing efforts to develop renewable energy, alongside improvements in EV infrastructure and global interest in sustainable transportation, Mozambique could see a rise in EV adoption. This would contribute to reducing the country’s reliance on imported fuels, lower transportation costs, and help meet sustainability targets.
