    Seems like a surprising move, of all the countries that can do it I’d have thought Ethiopia would be near the bottom.

    I guess this would also only apply to individuals and not HGVs?

    I’m pro trying it, but have my doubts about how viable this is.

      Per the article, viability is caused by an inability to afford oil, so electric becomes appreciably more reliable by comparison.
