🚁 Heli view: Can the continent get over its range anxiety?

Africa is fast acquiring electric vehicles and now needs to build extensive charging infrastructure to support the transition. That much everyone agrees on. 

• But the nature of the charging networks is far from clear. 

• Western & Asian models are prohibitively expensive.

High hurdle: The size of the challenge for the continent is obvious from the number of charging stations currently in existence. 

• South Africa has 400, Morocco 120 and Egypt 48. 

• China has 1.8 million and America has 64,000. 

• India talks about 1 million charging stations by 2030.
