Chargers \u201cinstalled in homes are not counted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As noted, the ministry is elaborating a master plan of charging stations countrywide to support the optimisation of this infrastructure and ensure their optimum spatial deployment.<\/p>\n<p>Electric vehicle charging infrastructure is one of the main components of the e-mobility ecosystem, considered by the ministry as the backbone of the system.<\/p>\n<p>Farmers get animal feed at affordable cost<\/p>\n<p>In Nyamagabe District, the adoption of e-mobility is providing affordable transportation for animal feeds, as noted by the district\u2019s Acting Director of Agriculture and Animal Resources, Vicent Uwimana.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cElectric cars are not only environmentally friendly but also cost-effective, leading to reduced prices for essential goods such as animal feeds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur farmers get animal feeds at affordable costs\u2014cheaper transport\u2014compared to fuel vehicles. The whole network uses renewable energy, evidencing that the new model of transport is more efficient than petrol or gas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to him, a chicken farmer earlier got feed at Rwf600 or Rwf700 per kilo but with the introduction of electric cars, prices started reduced by Rwf100 to Rwf200 per kilo.<\/p>\n<p>Business people, such as Vestine Mukanziza, are benefiting from the use of electric vehicles for transporting feed and harvest to the market, resulting in lower costs and increased efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cElectric cars are transforming our lives; we now get feeds at affordable prices,\u201d said Mukanziza.<\/p>\n<p>According to data from Rwanda Revenue Authority (RRA), electric cars gradually increased from 19 in 2020 to 512 this year, while hybrid cars soared from 28, as of 2021, to 6,660, this year.<\/p>\n<p>Of the 7,172 cars imported, from 2020 to 2024\u2014both hybrid and electric\u2014only 512, or 7 percent of the total, are electric.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Rwanda Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Rwanda.
