Description: In 2024, Ethiopia became the first country in the world to ban the import of internal combustion engine vehicles—a bold move that sent shockwaves through the global auto industry. This timely book unpacks the ambitious policy behind Ethiopia's electric vehicle revolution, exploring everything from local assembly plants and charging networks to the hydroelectric power fueling the transition. Drawing on economic analysis, infrastructure realities, and on-the-ground urban transformation, it examines both the opportunities and the growing pains of a nation racing toward an all-electric future. A compelling case study for policymakers, industry watchers, and anyone curious about how emerging economies might leapfrog into the post-oil era.
