SADC E-Mobility

This project aims to explore the impact of large-scale adoption of Electric Vehicles (EV) and the global E-Mobility revolution on Southern Africa against the backdrop of rapid climate change and the rise of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

The three sectors that will be most heavily impacted are mining, energy and automobile manufacturing with significant cross-cutting implications for employment, skills development, tax revenues, technology and the environment. Proactively preparing for the disruptive impact of the E-mobility revolution requires the region to undertake bold and forward-looking legislative and policy changes.
