Powering Ghana’s Electric Mobility Transition

Executive Summary

Ghana’s transport sector is the largest contributor to energy-related greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for 47.7 percent of total emissions. Electric vehicles (EVs) present a viable pathway to decarbonisation, with significant potential for fuel cost savings, foreign exchange conservation, and improved urban air quality.

However, Ghana’s EV transition remains constrained by critical structural bottlenecks, namely limited charging infrastructure, weak regulatory oversight, high upfront costs, and emerging safety risks linked to battery integrity in imported second-hand EVs.

Although the National Electric Mobility Roadmap outlines substantial long-term gains, these outcomes are not automatic. Without coordinated and sequenced policy action, EV adoption risks remaining narrow, inequitable, and economically suboptimal........
