“Let it be known that importing automobiles that run on fuel is not possible,” stated the Ministry of Transport and Logistics. “The government has decided not to import any gasoline automobiles into Ethiopia unless they are electric. Recounting the significance of importing electric-powered automobiles, Minister Alemu stated, “Electricity is abundantly produced in Ethiopia, and its cost is lower compared to fuel.”“Ethiopia is a supporter of green development and is a country that works hard for that. To reduce air pollution, an electric car is preferable to a gasoline car,” the minister said. “Therefore, everyone should be aware that petrol automobiles should not be imported into the country.”
