Electric vehicles have taken off in Ethiopia. Key to the shift: a world-first ban on importing fossil fuel-powered vehicles.
Whaat?
Incredible if true!
If true?

dw.com ? Maybe a good source of information, maybe not 🤷🏼♀️ gotta stay vigilant.
It appears that it’s not a ban on ICE cars, but a step in the right direction.
Then check the sources and learn, my friend. It’s not hard.

Deutsche Welle (German: [ˈdɔʏtʃə ˈvɛlə] ⓘ; lit. ‘German Wave’[3][4]), commonly shortened to DW, is a German state-funded television network and public service[1] international broadcaster funded by the Federal Government of Germany.[5]
To be specific, the ban is only on new imports of cars. Doesn’t effect any domestic production of petrol cars, (or all existing vehicles). Still a big step of course.
