Ethiopia has decided that only electric cars may be imported into the country. The move is a major step towards sustainable mobility and is ahead of the European Union's plans to ban internal combustion engines from 2035.

    So no more imports of cars unless they’re electric.

    What about trucks, busses, ships, planes etc?

    Not to mention who has the money to buy a new electric car in todays economy anyway?

      Do they have to tackle every problem at the same time?

        I’m only saying banning the import of internal combustion engine vehicles includes a whole host of things beyond just cars.

        A lot of these other things dont have an electric counterpart available yet.
