Lastly, we argued (well, mostly Valentine) with Zimtorque founder Tanaka Kutama about EVs in Zimbabwe as well as the e-mobility framework that is being drafted. The framework is an important step in starting the transition from fossil fuel vehicles to cleaner EVs.

On top of that, the e-mobility framework will include certain incentives such as reduced import duty for EVs, lower vehicle registration costs and more.
