Electric vehicle adoption is gaining traction in Nigeria as local manufacturers and importers expand their offerings, aiming to tap into Africa’s fastest-growing automotive market. Meanwhile, Djibouti is facing sharp increases in fuel prices, driven by global crude oil costs and regional supply constraints, putting pressure on consumers already grappling with economic challenges. The contrasting trends highlight Africa’s shifting energy landscape, where renewable alternatives are slowly emerging against a backdrop of persistent volatility in traditional fuel markets. Analysts warn that without policy support, the divide between rising EV demand and soaring fuel costs could deepen economic disparities across the continent.
