Will markets like Ethiopia still receive millions of gas and diesel vehicles for years to come and be delayed in experiencing the benefits of electrification? So, it’s uplifting to see that Ethiopia is taking that extra step and making decisive actions for the benefit of its citizens. “A decision has been made that automobiles cannot enter Ethiopia unless they are electric ones,” stated Sime. It’s not clear right here if Sime is only talking about new cars or also used cars, though. So, it’s not just words, and one can believe that Ethiopia really might implement a ban on imports of all fossil-powered cars before long.
