In hindsight it makes sense that smaller countries that might struggle to import oil would be the first ones to convert. They already have to supply electricity, why supply a second form of energy too?
Kind of like how developing countries tend to skip over landline phones and go straight to cell phones. Why bother with that whole other form of infrastructure?
Seems like a surprising move, of all the countries that can do it I’d have thought Ethiopia would be near the bottom.
I guess this would also only apply to individuals and not HGVs?
I’m pro trying it, but have my doubts about how viable this is.
Per the article, viability is caused by an inability to afford oil, so electric becomes appreciably more reliable by comparison.

They recently completed a huge hydro-electric dam and subsequently electricity supply at least in the capital improved quite a bit.
