Uganda’s Path to E Mobility: Readiness and barriers to adoption
This brief examines Uganda’s readiness for a large-scale transition to electric mobility (E-mobility), driven by the urgent need to decarbonize the transport sector and combat severe air pollution. The paper leverages quantitative data from surveys and perceptions from Key Informant Interviews and Focus Group Discussions. The findings reveal that Uganda has a moderate level of EV adoption readiness (0.67), performing slightly above the African average (0.58) but still behind its East African peers, such as Rwanda (0.74) and Kenya (0.7).
