AEW2025 Webinar 2 – Key Insights & FAQs Webinar Summary: Charging Change – Building Africa’s EV Ecosystem from Grid to Garage Date: Thursday, 29 May 2025Time: 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM EATFormat: Online via ZoomRegistrants: 322Host: Africa E-Mobility Week 2025 (AEW2025), in partnership with Africa E-MobilityAlliance (AfEMA)Sponsor: Spiro Overview This high-level virtual dialogue, titled “Charging Change: Building Africa’s EV Ecosystem from Grid to Garage,” brought together thought leaders, industry pioneers, and policymakers to explore critical enablers of electric mobility adoption across the continent. The 2-hour session featured two thematic discussions: Battery Swapping and Charging Networks Green Jobs and Skills for Africa’s E-Mobility Future The webinar attracted over 300 registrants from government, industry, academia, and civil society, signalling strong interest in the growth and transformation of e-mobility. Moderator: Warren Ondanje, Managing Director, Africa E-Mobility Alliance (AfEMA) Read the Full Webinar Notes Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 1. How do carbon credits help finance e-mobility projects? ➡ By selling verified emission reductions, EV operators and infrastructure developers generate revenue that can be reinvested in expansion. 2. Who can participate in carbon market programs? ➡ EV manufacturers, fleet operators, charge point operators, financial institutions, and leasing companies can all engage in Article 6 programs. 3. What types of e-mobility projects qualify? ➡ Electric buses, trucks, two & three-wheelers, marine transport, and charging infrastructure can generate carbon credits, depending on country regulations. 4. How long does it take to start receiving carbon credit revenue? ➡ Typically, 2 years from project registration, as verification is needed before payments are issued. 5. What are the biggest challenges in using carbon finance for e-mobility? ➡ Regulatory uncertainty, MRV complexity, and project financing delays. Partnering with experienced developers can help navigate these hurdles. 6.

The largest meeting for the African e-mobility industry brought together a number of African and global parties to discuss the challenges and opportunities in this moving space. Read the Full Story
Thursday, 27 February 2025 | Exploring Carbon Credits and Clean Transport for Africa AEW2025 Webinar 1 – Key Insights & FAQs Key Insights from the Discussion Carbon Markets Unlock Finance for E-Mobility Article 6 of the Paris Agreement enables international collaboration to finance zero emission transport through carbon credit trading. Revenue from ITMOs (Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes) can bridge the cost gap for EV adoption. Africa’s Leadership in E-Mobility Ethiopia’s ban on ICE vehicle imports signals a bold step in clean transport. • African governments are developing policies and incentives to support EV adoption. Carbon Finance Can Reduce EV Costs Carbon credits won’t fully cover upfront EV costs but can offset operational expenses and accelerate investments. Fleet operators, manufacturers, and charging infrastructure providers can all benefit from carbon markets. Data & Digital MRV Ensure Transparency Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) is critical for credibility in carbon markets. Digital tools help track vehicle usage and emissions reductions in real time, increasing investor confidence. Additionality & Market Timing Are Key Carbon projects must prove additionality—i.e., EV adoption wouldn’t happen without carbon finance. The window for securing Article 6 credits is closing fast—early adoption is crucial. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 1.
