The Electricity Control Board (ECB) CEO, Robert Kahimise, has announced that the implementation plan for Namibia’s Electric Vehicles (EV) Charging Infrastructure Regulatory Framework will commence in April 2025.
Kahimise stated that the framework establishes installation conditions, regulatory requirements, and pricing mechanisms for EV charging stations.
The move comes as some EV owners have been observed charging their vehicles at home, increasing strain on the electricity grid.
Currently, EV charging stations are available at M&Z, UN House, BMW, and Grove Mall. The framework, which was approved in August 2024, will be implemented through the adoption of standards in collaboration with the Namibia Standards Institute (NSI) and a public education campaign aimed at increasing awareness.
