Adoption figures are only part of the story. As the continent's intelligence platform, we track the market end to end — infrastructure, manufacturing, policy, capital, and the people building it — not just sales numbers.
Ten dimensions of the market, continuously monitored. Some are fully live; others are actively being built out — marked accordingly.
Fewer than 1,000 stations across the 26 countries currently tracked serve an estimated 400,000+ EVs — infrastructure, not demand, is the binding constraint in most markets.
The technician training, parts supply, and service networks required to keep EV fleets running long after the sale.
Morocco leads with Renault/Dacia Spring production alongside Neo Motors' local assembly; Egypt is in CKD discussions with Volkswagen.
Africa supplies ~77% of global cobalt and ~80% of platinum — upstream is well documented. End-of-life recycling infrastructure is a priority gap we're closing.
Ethiopia's 2024 ban on new ICE vehicle imports is the most aggressive intervention on the continent to date; Morocco pairs incentives with industrial strategy.
Equity, debt, and blended finance flowing into African mobility ventures — and where the funding gaps remain.
Which of the 54 markets are structurally ready for EV adoption today, and which aren't yet. Full breakdown on the Network page.
Two- and three-wheelers are the clear leading edge — Kenya's registrations are up roughly 2,700% since 2022, almost entirely in this segment.
Who's building — OEMs, charging networks, battery innovators — and which technologies are gaining ground first.

Up from roughly 4,000 in 2023 — a more than six-fold increase in two years, led by Egypt, Morocco, and South Africa, which together account for nearly 70% of regional sales.
25% of every new car sold globally was electric. Africa's ~25,000 units represent a fraction of a percent of that total — the scale of the gap is the scale of the opportunity.
Alongside ~80% of platinum and ~51% of manganese — Africa doesn't just stand to benefit from the EV transition, it supplies the raw materials it runs on.
A single country carries structural weight in the global battery supply chain — and with it, outsized exposure to policy, infrastructure, and governance risk.
Serving a fleet of 400,000+ electric vehicles — cars, two/three-wheelers, and buses combined. Infrastructure, not demand, is the binding constraint.
