If anyone is thinking about buying this car, my advice is, don't hesitate to buy it now!" In a Chinese brand new energy vehicle store in Mombasa, Kenya's second largest city, local taxi driver Juma told reporters that he had test-driven a Chinese electric car and felt strong and comfortable. "These electric vehicles will pave our roads."
Walter Madilla, lead analyst for Europe, Middle East and Africa Automotive forecasting at S&P Global Mobility, said that cost-effective Chinese brands offer more options for electric vehicle consumers. Mubeswane Masilo, a visiting researcher at the Southern Inequality Research Center at the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa, also believes that under the same conditions, price advantages allow Chinese brands to occupy a leading position in Africa.
Gad Senyuizom, executive director of AfricaNEV, an electric vehicle promotion organization, said that Chinese companies are constantly promoting development in Africa with their technological and market advantages to meet local market demand.
