Electric vehicles (EVs) in Zambia are slowly gaining interest as part of the country’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, enhance energy efficiency, and support sustainable development. Zambia has significant potential for renewable energy, particularly hydro and solar power, which could support the expansion of EVs in the future. However, EV adoption in the country faces challenges such as high upfront costs, limited charging infrastructure, and low public awareness about electric mobility. While urban areas like Lusaka are beginning to explore EV-friendly infrastructure, rural areas still struggle with access to reliable electricity, making the establishment of a nationwide EV charging network difficult. Additionally, the relatively high cost of EVs remains a barrier for many Zambians, given the country’s income levels. Despite these challenges, EVs offer long-term benefits, including lower fuel costs, reduced maintenance expenses, and positive environmental impacts, especially when renewable energy sources are integrated into the national grid. Government support through incentives, policies promoting EV adoption, and investment in charging infrastructure could help accelerate EV growth in Zambia. As technology advances and the costs of EVs decrease, they may become more accessible to the wider population. Over time, EVs could play a key role in Zambia’s transition to sustainable transportation, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and contributing to both economic growth and environmental sustainability.
