Electric Cars in Uganda

Ford and Salvador Caetano expanded their partnership to Uganda and appointed Motorcare as their new distributor partner, and sole official importer-dealer, in Uganda.

Zembo, a Ugandan-grown startup that assembles electric bikes and sells them to riders through a lease-to-own arrangement, raised €3 million, or about Shs12 billion, to grow its business.

Government has announced June 2021 as the date for the start of manufacture of electric cars in Uganda, having failed to hit the 2018 deadline.
