Former President, John Dramani Mahama has recently shared his thoughts after test driving an electric vehicle, describing the experience as exhilarating and underscoring the growing significance of EVs in today’s world.
In an August 18, 2024, Facebook post, the National Democratic Congress flagbearer emphasized the critical role electric vehicles play in addressing challenges like climate change and urban congestion, stating that transitioning to EVs is essential for building a sustainable future.
Following his test drive, Mahama encouraged Ghanaians to embrace cleaner and more efficient transportation options as part of a move towards sustainable mobility.
“as we face the challenges of climate change and urban congestion, transitioning to electric vehicles (EVs) is a crucial step towards a sustainable future.”
“Eventually with the lithium that we have, we will be able to manufacture the batteries and EVs ourselves right here in Ghana. It’s a good experience that will cut down on the foreign exchange we spend in bringing fuel into the country,” he rallied.
The push for electric vehicle adoption in Ghana reflects a broader commitment to clean energy and sustainability, encouraging a shift towards greener and smarter transportation solutions.
