The Ministry of Climate Change Adaptation (MoCCA) has become the first Government agency to purchase and use Electric Vehicles (EVs). The Ministry has bought two EVs to begin implementation of the National Energy Road Map (NERM) and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) targets of having 10% of EV’s in the Government vehicle fleet by 2030. The Public Service Commission (PSC), the manager of the Government vehicle fleet, has approved this purchase as a pilot and will be monitoring the EVs performance against its current fuel-using vehicles to quantify the fuel budget savings that EVs can bring, among other considerations.
