Electric vehicles have taken off in Ethiopia. Key to the shift: a world-first ban on importing fossil fuel-powered vehicles.
Illegally importing and running fossil fuel cars is gonna be hard to pull off so this ban might actually work. Good shit.
Criminals don’t tend to mind hard work, as long as they can profit they will provide, unfortunately.
There’s a little more logistics that goes into smuggling illegal combustion engines than what goes into smuggling illegal liquors.
for one, they’re called “gas guzzlers” for a reason~
Yeah exactly if you need a special license to fuel and operate them then its gonna come out very quick that you dont have that license.
