Charging my car has been a challenge. Spare parts that are imported from China are expensive, few mechanics are able to fix such cars and the resale value of such cars is poor.
Authorities have claimed some success in enforcing the ban on non-electric vehicles entering Ethiopia, and more than 100,000 electric cars are now being imported into the country each month.
In a televised address earlier this year, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said the Grand Renaissance Dam will start generating more than 5,000 megawatts of electric power within a year.
The official target is to increase the monthly import figure to 500,000 by 2030. By that time, a big new dam Ethiopia has built on the Nile River is expected to be producing power at full capacity.
