Ghana is pushing aggressively toward an electric vehicle (EV) revolution, aiming to phase out gasoline-powered cars by 2035 and ban new fossil fuel vehicles by 2040. However, critics warn the country’s aging and underfunded electricity grid may struggle to handle the increased demand from widespread EV adoption. Experts highlight concerns over power shortages, infrastructure gaps, and the financial burden of upgrading the grid to support millions of new electric vehicles. The transition raises critical questions about whether Ghana’s energy system can keep pace with its ambitious green mobility goals.
