Côte d'Ivoire Aspires to Electrify 10% of Its Vehicle Fleet Within Five Years
Pétro Ivoire is committed to developing charging stations in Abidjan, with plans for a nationwide expansion. The infrastructure will be developed along the north-south and east-west axes to facilitate intercity travel, Sébastien Kadio-Morokro, the company's CEO, told media.
Pétro Ivoire's latest charging stations, such as the one in Yopougon Gandhi, run entirely on solar energy. The company collaborates with local manufacturers to produce batteries and solar equipment.
To drive the transition, the company focuses on corporate fleets, which find electric vehicles economically viable. The cost of operating an electric car for 100 km is already cheaper than its gasoline-powered counterpart.
Pétro Ivoire is also enhancing its gas distribution network with a new plant in Bouaké, improving access in the north and conducting awareness campaigns.
