Government says it is holding ongoing engagements with private sector stakeholders to review tax incentives and the duty structure on electric vehicles (EVs), as part of efforts to accelerate the country’s transition to clean and modern transport systems. Speaking at the ERA Conference, Exhibition and EV Experience, Deputy Energy Minister Dr. Richard Gyan-Mensah said the review is crucial to making EVs more accessible and attractive.
“We are in continuous dialogue with the private sector to identify gaps in the current duty and tax regime,”
“The objective is to create a policy environment that supports affordability, investment and the wider adoption of electric mobility,” he said.
He added that the government is committed to aligning the country’s EV framework with its broader energy transition agenda.
Deputy Transport Minister Dorcas Toffey, who also addressed the event, underscored the importance of Ghana’s EV transition, noting that a modern transport system must be cleaner and more efficient.
“The EV transition is not just a trend it is a necessary shift for a safer, greener and more sustainable transport sector,”
“Government is determined to work with all partners to make this transition smooth and impactful,” she said.
The Chief Executive Officer of Cubica Energy, Lesley Arthur, welcomed the government’s engagement but emphasised the need for stronger support for the private sector, which she described as a critical driver of EV penetration.
“The private sector is ready and willing to invest, but we need deliberate government backing”.
“From incentives to infrastructure, the right support will significantly speed up EV adoption in Ghana,” she stated.
The ERA EV Conference brought together policymakers, technology providers, energy firms and transport sector players to discuss opportunities and challenges in Ghana’s electric mobility space.

CEMSE Raises Alarm Over Recurring Tariff Increases and Power Sector Inefficiencies
The Centre for Environmental and Sustainable Energy (CEMSE) has expressed deep concern over Ghana’s persistent cycle of utility tariff hikes and entrenched inefficiencies within the power sector, warning that the latest increase approved by the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) will further strain already vulnerable households and businesses.
The PURC last week sanctioned a 9.86 percent upward adjustment in electricity tariffs for all consumer categories, effective in the first quarter of 2026. While the Commission argues that the review is necessary to sustain utility providers and attract much-needed investment into the sector, CEMSE says the decision exposes a…
