I love france24 abnd is the 24hr tv station i watch unless i flip to youtube to catch up on new stuff.so i got to see this documentary about electric cars in paris,though the systems are not fully operational i could not seize to admire how the cars were effortlessly providing good service to the client.moreso i understood that for one to install a personal charging module it costs 900 euros and around 20 euros for electricity which is far more cheaper than fuel driven cars.
on the downside i think here in kenya the logistics would not allow since kra will tax you to the core when you import spares and batts.i think the government should embrace this new tech and move away from this retrogressive combustion engines that the odds are not swayed on us due to high cost of fuel.
what are your thoughts?
Link please…
Not sure if batteries were captured in this provision, but they could have been. So it might not be that expensive.
"Mr. Speaker, although currently there is low uptake of electric powered motor vehicles in the country, green energy technology is being embraced in many countries due to environmental benefits and renewability. Kenya too needs to promote the use of this clean type of energy in line with the sustainable development goal 7 which can be achieved through lowering the cost of these vehicles through tax incentives. Mr. Speaker, this will encourage uptake of these vehicles as well as encourage investment in this area of technology. Further, it will support the policy on green energy thereby reducing carbon emission. In this regard, I propose to reduce the excise duty on motor vehicles that are fully powered by electricity to 10%. "
