Leveraging AUTO24.africa’s Success in Electric Vehicle Sales
The adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is steadily gaining traction across Africa, yet it is still faced with challenges due to the complexity of customs regulations, which differ greatly between countries.

This information is made accessible through a network of logistics partners, forwarding agents, and local teams. By leveraging its local expertise, EV24.africa highlights the most promising regulatory environments for EV adoption across the continent:

- Ethiopia: Import duties for EVs are capped at 5%, with a ban on non-CKD thermal vehicles in place.
- South Africa: Import duties remain high at 25%, though industrial tax credits and regulatory reforms are currently under consideration.
- Nigeria: While there is no specific exemption for EVs, a reduced 5% duty applies to locally assembled (CKD) vehicles, regardless of energy type; the market primarily focuses on used vehicles
- Senegal: The government aims to introduce 37,000 electric vehicles by 2030. Tax exemptions and incentives for local EV production are being considered to support this target.
- Côte d’Ivoire: Authorities are working to promote EV adoption through potential reductions in customs taxes and the development of a regulatory framework to facilitate imports and usage—this initiative is driven by APEME-CI, of which Auto24.ci is a member.

With governments introducing new policies and improvements in charging infrastructure, now is the perfect time to accelerate the shift towards sustainable mobility in Africa. The importance of mental health in the workplace cannot be overstated. In today’s fast-paced and competitive business world, employees are often under immense pressure to perform at their best, meet tight deadlines, and constantly strive for success. However, this constant pressure can take a toll on their mental well-being if not properly addressed.
Research has shown that mental health issues are on the rise in the workplace, with stress, anxiety, and depression being some of the most common conditions affecting employees. These issues can have a significant impact on productivity, morale, and overall job satisfaction. In fact, according to the World Health Organization, mental health conditions cost businesses an estimated $1 trillion in lost productivity each year.
Employers have a responsibility to create a work environment that promotes mental well-being and supports employees who may be struggling with mental health issues. This can be achieved through a variety of initiatives, such as offering employee assistance programs, providing access to mental health resources, and promoting open communication about mental health in the workplace.
One key way to support mental health in the workplace is by promoting work-life balance. Encouraging employees to take breaks, use their vacation time, and prioritize self-care can help prevent burnout and reduce stress levels. Additionally, offering flexible work arrangements, such as telecommuting or flexible hours, can help employees better manage their work and personal responsibilities.
Another important aspect of supporting mental health in the workplace is destigmatizing mental health issues and promoting a culture of openness and acceptance. Employees should feel comfortable talking about their mental health concerns with their managers and colleagues without fear of judgment or discrimination. Employers can also provide training on mental health awareness and resources to help employees better understand and support each other.
Overall, prioritizing mental health in the workplace is not only the right thing to do for employees, but it also makes good business sense. By creating a supportive work environment that values mental well-being, employers can improve employee engagement, retention, and overall performance. Investing in mental health initiatives can lead to a happier, healthier, and more productive workforce, ultimately benefiting both employees and the bottom line.
