It said Electric Vehicles (EVs) had emerged as a pivotal solution in the battle against transportation-related emissions and climate change.

In the statement, Mr Kwaku Ofori Asiamah, Minister for Transport said the economic viability of EVs had spurred investments in the electric mobility value chain, with the global EV inventory projected to surge from 11 million in 2020 to over 145 million by 2030.

He said numerous nations had committed to a complete shift to EVs in the coming years, this pushed for government to fast shift towards EVs globally to aligned with international efforts in moving towards the reduction in the use of fossil vehicles.

“The policy emphasized a just, equitable, and inclusive transition, ensuring that the adoption of EVs benefits all segments of society, fosters innovation, and enhances manufacturing competitiveness,” he added.

He mentioned that the formulation of the EV policy involved extensive consultations with stakeholders across the 16 regions to ensure inclusivity and consider the perspectives of all industry players.

The policy aimed not only to address environmental concerns but also to contribute to socioeconomic growth by creating job opportunities for both skilled and unskilled workers.

The Minister noted that to ensure the effective implementation of the policy, there would be dedicated Unit created within the Ministry to collaborate with sector representatives and institutions to address cross-cutting issues.
