Major manufacturers are now switching from combustion engines to more environmentally efficient vehicles in a bid to reduce global warming. These vehicles come with various powertrains, including electric vehicles powered with either one, two, three, or more electric motors.
Other powertrains include hybrid vehicles or plug-in hybrid vehicles, which are powered by either an electric motor for a shorter distance and a combustion engine, or can use both powertrains in a bid to improve performance.
But many questions have arisen, especially in African countries, as the highest county with the highest numbers of EVs was South Africa, followed by Morocco, while Kenya became the third.

Looking at the graph of various automotive manufacturing of EVs, Tesla hasn’t recorded in East Africa, and Kenya is becoming one of the few countries with few or one Tesla car.
Owned by Viju Patel, a Tesla Model X 75D, he explains how hard and expensive it was to get the car into the country. He used almost $123,047, while the latest model, costing around $77,990 if tax applied, could go up to approximately $89,000 and above.
What you may expect to come across if you are a Tesla customer in Kenya other than the high price is the lack of a Tesla public charging station, which means that you may use more money for domestic charging. Also, customer service areas do not include Kenya. Not forgetting to ask, Will Tesla Motors ever make in the Kenya market and parts of most African countries? .
