ETH | Policy | Ethiopia announced a ban on the importation of gasoline and diesel vehicles on January 29, 2024, becoming the first country in the world to implement such a policy, with the aim of reducing fuel import costs and air pollution. It is enforced through a combination of prohibitively high import duties on internal combustion engine vehicles and duty-free imports for electric and hybrid vehicles.

And its working.
Ethiopia is partially protected from Trump's Iran screwup.
And EVs are growing quickly.
@Sustainable2050 Meanwhile, Americans can't even afford gas vehicles and can only dream of affording EVs because the Commander-In-Sleep lives to appease oil barrons and the only other EV producer is a Nazi who's appeasing said Commander-in-Sleep who's appeasing said oil barrons.
Shit's fucked, man.
Trump drove a casino into bankruptcy. A casino. Trump's accidental hubris leak on Iran, his incursion, is rhe nail in the coffin of world oil.
