The Ministry of Works and Transport is exploring the development of a nationwide electric vehicle (EV) charging network following the launch of a pilot charging station at its headquarters in Windhoek.
Speaking in Parliament, Minister of Works and Transport Veikko Nekundi said the number of electric vehicles on Namibian roads is steadily increasing, particularly in the Windhoek and central regions, prompting the ministry to assess the country's future charging infrastructure requirements.
The pilot charging station was designed and installed by the ministry's in-house engineering division and will serve as a test case to inform the possible rollout of EV charging facilities across the country.
“This initiative was developed and designed by the Ministry's in-house engineering team and is aimed at serving as a study case that will inform possible future EV charging network deployment nationwide,” Nekundi said.
