Ethiopia generates more than 96% of its electricity from renewable hydropower...

For many in Ethiopia, where salaries are often less than €1000 a year, the starting price of a new electric car — €17,000 ($19,700/3.2 million Ethiopian birr) — is steep. But taxi driver Abdurahman Ali is happy he made the switch. [...] "Before switching [...] every month I would spend 40,000-50,000 birr on fuel. Since switching to electric and charging at home, my monthly costs have dropped to about 5,000 birr, at most. That's a huge difference."
That's massive! Roughly, from €250 to €25 a month? Fuck, that's some fabulous news right there. Go on, Mr. Ali!
