Assessing Supply Chain Barriers to and Opportunities for Advancing Road Transport Electrification in Kenya

The paper examines Kenya's road transport electrification, noting that while the transport sector contributes 13 percent of the country's greenhouse gas emissions, fewer than 1 percent of annual vehicle sales are electric. It argues that increasing EV uptake requires a combination of bolstered policy interventions, improved access to technology and financing, and enhanced technical capacity and public awareness.

• Kenya's transport sector is a major source of emissions, contributing 13 percent of the country's total greenhouse gas emissions, yet electric vehicles represent less than 1 percent of annual vehicle sales.
• To increase the adoption of electric vehicles, the Kenyan government must implement a multi-faceted approach including improved regulatory interventions, better access to infrastructure and financing, economic enhancements, increased awareness, and technical capacity building.
• Proposed interventions for EV advancement should be based on data and targeted modelling to evaluate budgetary costs, business value, and the design of pilot programs.
