Burkina Faso launches its first electric car
Burkina Faso has unveiled its first electric car, designed and built entirely by local company ITAOUA.
This is the first time the country has produced its own car, marking a major step forward in technology and industry.
The electric car can travel up to 330 kilometres on a single charge, and it takes only 30 minutes to recharge. This makes it suitable for travelling both in cities and rural areas.
The move aims at reducing the country’s reliance on imported vehicles.
The car is expected to create many jobs in areas such as manufacturing, sales, and maintenance. It will also promote the use of renewable energy, helping Burkina Faso reduce its dependence on fossil fuels.
By building cars locally, Burkina Faso can save money, lower its carbon emissions, and possibly create a product for export in the future.
