“Of course, I’m pro,” wrote one of the editors, “but I assume that Ethiopia probably doesn’t have a charging infrastructure ready … no matter how big of a EV fan I am, I can agree some markets are not ready for it just yet.”

So they did this without the charging infrastructure being ready. People need to think about if their part of the world is ready for EV. Before passing this type of law.
