Electric mobility is still in development in Africa. Battery electric vehicles' sales on the continent have overall increased in recent years, although have remained the lowest worldwide. South Africa, which has the most advanced e-mobility market in Africa, counted about 1,000 electric vehicles (EVs) in 2022 - out of a total fleet of 12 million automobiles. In Kenya, the number of EVs was estimated at 350, while a total of some 2.2 million registered vehicles were likely in use in the country.
