Electric vehicles (EVs) in Niger face several challenges but hold potential for growth. The country has not yet implemented significant government incentives to encourage EV adoption, and the infrastructure for charging EVs is almost nonexistent, particularly outside the capital, Niamey. Niger’s electricity is predominantly generated from fossil fuels, reducing the environmental benefits of EVs in the short term. However, there is a gradual shift toward increasing the share of renewable energy, particularly solar power, which could make EVs more viable in the future. The high initial cost of EVs and the limited availability of charging stations are barriers to widespread adoption, making them less accessible to most of the population. Despite these challenges, the falling cost of batteries and the potential expansion of renewable energy sources could make EVs more affordable and environmentally friendly. If Niger continues to invest in its energy infrastructure, EV adoption could reduce dependence on imported oil and support the country’s long-term sustainability goals. In the future, EVs could help improve Niger’s energy security and decrease emissions, especially as the country develops its renewable energy capacity.
