Project description (DE)
Initial situation
90 percent of the electricity generated in Kenya comes from renewable energies. This offers a great opportunity for the transition to electromobility - and thus for transport that no longer emits greenhouse gases.
The country has over 3.6 million registered vehicles. Over 250,000 new registrations are added every year, 60 percent of which are motorcycles. Most new registrations are used vehicles from abroad, which are often old and harmful to the climate. The economic and social costs of the outdated vehicles are high because they consume a lot of gasoline, have to be repaired frequently, increase the risk of accidents and pollute the air.
Although electromobility is one of the Kenyan government's most important climate protection measures, only a few electric cars and motorcycles are currently on the road in the country. However, the national goal is to increase their share of vehicle imports to five percent by 2025. To do this, the country must create rules and conditions that specifically promote electric vehicles and charging infrastructure.
Objective
Better conditions for electromobility will result in more electric cars and motorcycles being driven in cities and rural areas of Kenya.
Approach
The project works in three priority areas:
1. It improves the regulatory framework in the country. To this end, it promotes the development of national strategies, regulations and standards for electromobility.
2. Training, knowledge exchange and coordination of interest groups in the electromobility industry supports the proj
