—James Frith, head of energy storage at BNEF. If approached correctly, African countries can capitalize on their abundant natural resources, growing demand for vehicles and rapid urbanization to build a global hub to produce electric vehicles. We are only at the beginning of the path to achieving net-zero emissions globally.
