March 2025 – Africa – Africar Group and AUTO24.africa proudly announce the official launch of EV24.africa, an innovative new platform dedicated to the sale of electric vehicles (EV) across Africa. This pan-African marketplace provides buyers from all 54 African countries with access to a wide range of over 200 models from more than 25 international brands at competitive prices, with streamlined delivery across the continent.

As Africa transitions towards more sustainable mobility, EV24.africa positions itself as a reliable and transparent solution, offering both individuals and businesses an easy way to discover and purchase electric vehicles tailored to African road conditions.

Expanding Access to Electric Vehicles Across Africa

With the increasing implementation of government policies encouraging electric vehicle adoption, the demand for affordable and reliable EVs is growing rapidly. However, the African market faces several challenges, including limited availability, complex import regulations, and a lack of after-sales support.

EV24.africa addresses these barriers by offering:

  • A wide selection of over 200 EV models – from compact city cars to SUVs and commercial vehicles.
  • More than 25 international brands – including Tesla, BYD, Toyota, Dongfeng, Wuling, Peugeot, Citroën, and Fiat.
  • Delivery to all 54 African countries.
  • Competitive pricing and tailored financing options to make EV ownership more accessible.

EV24.africa connects African buyers directly with trusted international suppliers, facilitating the transition to sustainable mobility.

Proven Expertise Through AUTO24.africa

The launch of EV24.africa builds on the success of AUTO24.africa, which has already sold electric vehicles in over 15 African countries (including Morocco, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Rwanda, Gabon, and Benin). Known for its expertise in certification, logistics, and customer service, AUTO24.africa provides a strong foundation to ensure the success of this new platform dedicated to EVs.

Navigating Local Regulations

One of the main challenges for EV adoption in Africa is the diversity of import policies. EV24.africa simplifies this process by offering clear information on import duties, tax exemptions, and incentives available in each country:

  • Morocco and Egypt: High import duties but growing incentives for local EV assembly.
  • South Africa: 25% import duty, with regulatory changes expected.
  • Nigeria and Ghana: Full exemption from import duties for electric vehicles.
  • Kenya: Reduced import duty of 10% for EVs, compared to 35% for combustion vehicles.
  • Rwanda: Full exemption from import duties and taxes for 100% electric vehicles (BEVs).

With this country-specific analysis, EV24.africa helps customers make informed decisions while simplifying the buying process.
