The use of electric vehicles will significantly reduce air pollution in Botswana.
Despite having a population of just over two million, Botswana is listed as one of the most polluted nations with serious air pollution, according to a Journal of Health and Pollution article published late last year.
The cobalt, lithium, nickel, and copper that will be needed for the electric vehicle revolution are all present in Botswana. Regarding the latter, the ANRC has noted that Botswana exhibits potential for stratiform-type copper deposits that are comparable to the Zambian Copperbelt and are likely equivalent in size.
The Botswana Electric Vehicle Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.
It is anticipated that the private company Baylee Enterprises (Pty) Ltd, with its headquarters in Gaborone, Botswana, will begin full-scale production of electric vehicles.
The company is now importing electric motors and other components needed to manufacture the electric vehicle in Botswana, according to the country’s minister of investment, trade, and industry, who made the announcement on Tuesday.
The company has created an electric vehicle prototype, which is currently going through a compliance procedure with important stakeholders, including the Department of Road, Transport, and Safety in Botswana.
The Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI), on behalf of the Government of Botswana, encourages domestic and foreign businesses with a proven track record and necessary experience to express interest in producing electric vehicles (EVs) and related parts in Botswana.
The objective of this EOI is to grow the local electromobility market in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and advance Botswana’s other industrial development goals.
