Uganda Drafts EV Charging Rules to Attract Investors, Cut Emissions & Tame Fuel Costs
Where does the country stand now?
Currently, charging infrastructure is limited and concentrated in Kampala, according to Principal Energy Officer David Birimumaso of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development.
What are Uganda's EV targets and achievements?
Deploying 500,000 EVs annually by 2030
40,000 e-motorcycles already operating
How will the new regulations help?
The draft rules will define how charging stations are licensed, built, operated, and monitored—every station will need a permit, Birimumaso explained.
What's the transition strategy?
Officials propose adopting a dual fossil-fuel/electric system to ensure affordability and inclusivity as Uganda shifts toward sustainable mobility.
