China’s electric vehicle (EV) industry

By Hassan Ssenyonga, AfricaOne News | July 30, 2025

As the world watches China’s electric vehicle (EV) industry race ahead, leaving giants like Tesla, GM, and Volkswagen in the dust, Africa finds itself not left behind, but standing at a crossroads of promise. Because in every global shift lies an African opportunity. And this moment is no different.

Africa, with its vast landscapes, rich resources, youthful energy, and unbreakable spirit, is uniquely positioned to write its own story in the future of mobility. A story of clean air, smart cities, electric roads—and most importantly, African love, innovation, and leadership.

Beneath Africa’s soil, lie the critical minerals that power the global EV revolution cobalt in the Congo, lithium in Zimbabwe, manganese in South Africa. But beyond the minerals lies something even more powerful: the will of the African people to rise.

From African Soil to African Roads

Rather than exporting raw wealth, Africa can build battery factories, train young engineers, and become a manufacturing hub that supplies not just the world but its own proud nations.

Lessons from the East, Led by the South

China’s rise in the EV space teaches one powerful truth: when a nation believes in its people, invests in its future, and protects its market, miracles happen. Africa, too, can walk this path on its own terms.

Already, Chinese automakers are partnering with African countries, setting up plants, transferring knowledge, and offering affordable EVs that could power a new age of clean transport. But this time, Africa will lead with love for its land, its people, and its children’s future.

Imagine African cities, where quiet electric buses glide past murals of heritage. Imagine rural towns where solar-powered tuk-tuks connect farmers to markets. Imagine jobs, dreams, and dignity fueled by African-made motors.

This is not fiction. It’s a future within reach.
