Kenya ranks second-largest market for public electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in Africa

The country recorded 235 public EV charging stations in 2025. Egypt leads the continent with 300 stations, while Tunisia follows Kenya with 140. Ethiopia and Rwanda have 100 and 40 stations respectively.

Across Africa, fewer than 1,000 public EV charging stations were operational in 2024. These stations serve a fleet of more than 400,000 electric vehicles on the continent.The report highlights that charging infrastructure is still at an early stage in most African countries.

Only 17 per cent of countries have established at least 10 public charging stations.Kenya’s strong ranking reflects growing private-sector investment and government efforts to promote electric mobility and reduce dependence on petrol and diesel vehicles.
