Zimbabwe is set to dramatically cut its fuel import bill and reduce pressure on foreign currency demands if the Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (ZERA) successfully convinces Zimbabweans to embrace the use of electric vehicles.

Reports say the energy regulator is in the process of acquiring an electric vehicle to be used to promote the technology in the country and convince authorities to support the initiative.

Electric vehicles (EVs) are gaining traction across the world as they are seen as cheaper to operate compared to fossil fuel-powered motor vehicles.

Zimbabwe is using 7,6 million litres of both petrol and diesel daily and indications are the figures will continue to increase unless drastic measures such as the use energy efficient vehicles and EVs are promoted.
