Iyaziwa ngemithombo yayo ecebile kawoyela, iMpumalanga Ephakathi manje ingenisa inkathi entsha yokuhamba okusimeme ngokwamukelwa okwandayo kwezimoto zikagesi (ama-EV) kanye nokusungulwa kweziteshi zokushaja kulo lonke isifunda. Imakethe yezimoto zikagesi iyachuma njengoba ohulumeni kulo lonke elaseMpumalanga Ephakathi besebenza ukunciphisa ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni futhi bebeka phambili ukusimama kwemvelo.
Isimo samanje sama-EV eMpumalanga Ephakathi siyathembisa, njengoba ukuthengiswa kwama-EV kukhule kakhulu eminyakeni embalwa edlule. Amazwe afana ne-United Arab Emirates, iSaudi Arabia, neJordani abonise ukuzibophezela okukhulu ezimotweni zikagesi futhi aqalise izinhlelo ezahlukene zokukhuthaza ukusetshenziswa kwezimoto zikagesi. Ngo-2020, i-UAE ibone ukwanda okukhulu kokuthengiswa kwezimoto zikagesi, kanti iTesla ihamba phambili emakethe. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukusunduzwa kukahulumeni waseSaudi Arabia ukukhuthaza ukwamukelwa kwezimoto zikagesi kuholele enanini elikhulayo lezimoto zikagesi emgwaqweni.
Ukuze kukhuthazwe ukuthuthukiswa kwezimoto zikagesi, iziteshi zokushaja kumele zisungulwe kahle. I-Middle East isiqaphele lesi sidingo, futhi ohulumeni abaningi nezinhlangano ezizimele sebeqalile ukutshala imali engqalasizindani yokushaja. E-United Arab Emirates, isibonelo, uhulumeni ubelokhu efaka inani elikhulu leziteshi zokushaja ezweni lonke, eqinisekisa ukufinyelela okulula ezindaweni zokushaja kubanikazi bezimoto zikagesi. I-Emirates Electric Vehicle Road Trip, umcimbi waminyaka yonke wokukhuthaza izimoto zikagesi, nayo idlale indima ebalulekile ekuboniseni umphakathi ingqalasizinda yokushaja ekhona.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, izinkampani ezizimele ziye zaqaphela ukubaluleka kweziteshi zokushaja futhi zithathe izinyathelo ezisebenzayo zokwakha amanethiwekhi azo. Abasebenzi abaningi beziteshi zokushaja badlale indima ebalulekile ekwandiseni ingqalasizinda yokushaja, okwenza kube lula kubanikazi bezimoto zikagesi ukushaja izimoto zabo.
Naphezu kwentuthuko, izinselele zisekhona emakethe yezimoto zikagesi zaseMpumalanga Ephakathi. Ukukhathazeka ngebanga, ukwesaba ibhethri elifile, kuyisibonakaliso esisodwa.
