Building on AUTO24.africa’s Success in EV Sales
The launch of EV24.africa builds on the experience and success of AUTO24.africa, which has already sold electric vehicles in over 15 African countries, including Morocco, Senegal, Côte d’Ivoire, Rwanda, Gabon, Republic of the Congo, Benin, Togo and several others.
AUTO24.africa has established itself as a trusted platform for automotive sales, providing expertise in vehicle certification, logistics, and customer service. With this strong foundation, EV24.africa is positioned to become the go-to marketplace for EV buyers across Africa.
EV24.africa Accelerates the Adoption of Electric Vehicles in Africa Through Deep Expertise in Local Customs Regulations
The adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is gaining momentum across Africa, but remains hindered by the complexity of customs regulations, which vary significantly from one country to another. To address this challenge, EV24.africa, a pan-African platform specialized in the importation of electric vehicles, offers tailored support to its clients by providing clear, up-to-date information on customs duties, tax exemptions, and available incentives through its network of logistics partners, forwarding agents, and local teams.
Leveraging its on-the-ground expertise, EV24.africa highlights the most promising regulatory environments for EV adoption across the continent:
- Morocco: Import duties reduced to 2.5% for EVs (compared to 17.5% for internal combustion vehicles), along with annual road tax exemption.
- Togo & Benin: Full exemption from import duties on new electric vehicles, strongly supporting their adoption.
- Ethiopia: Import duties are capped at 5% for EVs, and a ban on non-CKD thermal vehicles is in effect.
- South Africa: Import duties remain high at 25%, though industrial tax credits and regulatory reforms are under consideration.
- Nigeria: No specific EV exemption, but a reduced 5% duty applies to locally assembled (CKD) vehicles, regardless of energy type; the market is largely focused on used vehicles.
- Senegal: The government plans to introduce 37,000 electric vehicles by 2030. Tax exemptions and incentives for local EV production are being considered to support this goal.
- Côte d’Ivoire: Authorities are promoting EV adoption through potential reductions in customs taxes and the development of a regulatory framework to facilitate imports and usage—driven by APEME-CI initiatives, of which Auto24.ci is a member.
- Cameroon: 50% reduction in import duties for electric vehicles.
- Rwanda: Full exemption from import duties and taxes for 100% battery electric vehicles (BEVs).
Thanks to in-depth, country-specific regulatory analysis, EV24.africa enables its clients to streamline the importation process, secure fiscal benefits, and eliminate uncertainty in their transition to electric mobility across the African continent.
