Kenya has officially launched its National E-Mobility Policy, introducing distinctive green number plates for all electric vehicles (EVs) and mandating a switch for existing EV owners. This move aims to reduce Kenya's annual US$5 billion (KES 628.4 billion) spending on petroleum imports, leveraging the country's 90% renewable energy grid for a more sustainable transport future.

• Incentives in the Finance Bill 2025 include zero-rated VAT and 0% Excise Duty for electric buses, bicycles, motorcycles, and lithium-ion batteries, but notably exclude personal electric cars.
• Transport Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir inaugurated the policy and unveiled the new plates at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC).
• The government claims 39,324 EVs were registered by 2025, a significant increase from 1,378 in 2022, though independent reports suggest a figure closer to 24,000.
