Import & Buy Electric Cars in Ethiopia

Ethiopia is at the forefront of Africa’s transition to sustainable transportation, having recently become the first country to ban the importation of non-electric private vehicles.
EV24.africa is committed to supporting this green initiative by providing a seamless platform for Ethiopian customers to import and purchase high-quality electric cars.
Whether you’re in Addis Ababa, Dire Dawa, or any other region, our comprehensive services ensure your selected EV reaches you efficiently and safely.
Comprehensive Delivery Across Ethiopia
At EV24.africa, we pride ourselves on our extensive delivery network that spans all 54 African countries, including Ethiopia. Given Ethiopia’s landlocked geography, we primarily utilize the Port of Djibouti for vehicle imports, followed by efficient overland transportation to your desired location within Ethiopia. Our logistics solutions are tailored to meet your specific needs, offering both door-to-door and port-to-port delivery options to ensure timely and secure vehicle arrivals.
Streamlined Import Process with Flexible Incoterms
Navigating the complexities of vehicle importation can be daunting. That’s why EV24.africa manages the entire process on your behalf, adhering to international commercial terms (Incoterms) that best suit your requirements. Whether you prefer Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) for a hassle-free experience or Free on Board (FOB) for more control, we ensure a transparent and efficient import process.
Diverse Selection from Global Suppliers
Our curated network of suppliers spans Europe, Asia (notably China), North America, and Japan, allowing us to offer a wide range of electric vehicles. From certified used cars to brand-new models, our inventory caters to all preferences and budgets. We provide various segments, including:
- Passenger Cars: Compact, sedan, and luxury models.
- Light Commercial Vehicles: Vans and small trucks ideal for businesses.
Expertise and Local Partnerships
With a dedicated team of over 200 professionals across five African countries and partnerships in more than 40 nations on the continent, EV24.africa ensures unparalleled service quality. Our local presence in Ethiopia enables us to understand and meet the unique needs of our customers, providing personalized solutions and support.

Latest Tax Incentives and Reforms in Ethiopia
In January 2024, Ethiopia implemented a groundbreaking policy, becoming the first country to ban the importation of non-electric private vehicles. This move aims to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and promote sustainable transportation. To support this transition, the government has introduced several tax incentives for electric vehicles:
- Customs Duty: Fully assembled imported EVs are subject to a 20% customs duty, following a recent increase from the previous 15%.
addisinsight.net - Value Added Tax (VAT), Excise Tax, and Surtax: EVs benefit from exemptions on VAT, excise taxes, and surtax, making them more affordable for consumers.
ethiopianbusinessreview.net - Assembly Incentives: Partially assembled (semi-knocked-down) EVs imported for local assembly are subject to a reduced customs duty of 5%, while fully knocked-down units are exempt from customs duties entirely.

These incentives are designed to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles and stimulate local assembly operations within Ethiopia.
