Tanzania’s electric mobility market is moving fast, and early investors are already positioning themselves.
Tanzania Petroleum’s comprehensive pre-feasibility report, titled Solar-Powered Electric Vehicle Charging Station Project Report, provides a complete roadmap for setting up a solar-powered electric vehicle charging station in Tanzania.
The solar EV charging station market is driven by the growing number of electric vehicles in Tanzania but is constrained by limited charging infrastructure.
Tanzania leads East Africa in EV adoption, with over 10,000 electric vehicles on the road, yet has fewer than 15 public charging stations across the entire country. The potential gap between vehichle adoption and charging infrastructure highlight an opportunity for further investment.
As the window for first movers is closing, this creates massive opportunities for investors and entrepreneurs who want to enter this next growth opportunity early.
This feasibility report covers a comprehensive market analysis of Tanzania’s electric vehicle market, technical components, a location shortlist, pilot-centre economics, risk analysis, and funding strategy.
The cost of setting up a solar EV charging station is provided in detail, covering project economics, capital investment (CapEx), income and expenditure projections, operating expenses (OpEx), expected ROI, revenue models, and annual revenue projections.
What Is a Solar Electric Vehicle Charging Station?
A solar EV charging station business owns and operates electric vehicle chargers where drivers pay to recharge their vehicles.
A solar EV charging station uses solar energy as its primary energy source, thereby helping operators reduce electricity bills and supporting the clean energy agenda in Tanzania and across the world.
The state-of-the-art technology used in solar charging stations allows for effective power sharing, energy monitoring, and user-friendly operation through an interface.
Reliable and affordable charging infrastructure is critical to the transition to electric mobility in Tanzanian cities.
Why a Solar EV Charging Station?
EV Adoption: Tanzania’s electric vehicle boom is starting, with two-wheelers and three-wheelers representing relevant early e-mobility segments.
Substantial Solar Potential: Tanzania receives 5.5–6.5 kWh/m²/day of solar irradiance, among the best levels in the world.
Electricity Costs: Solar-powered EV charging stations can help operators reduce electricity bills by using solar energy to power their charging infrastructure, potentially lowering operating costs and improving business profitability.
Compelling Operating Costs: EV drivers save up to 70–90% on fuel costs, providing a strong motivation to use public charging.
Government Incentives and Policy: Charging regulations are advancing in Tanzania. The Energy and Water Utilities Regulatory Authority (EWURA) has published guidelines for charging stations and battery-swapping infrastructure.
Latest Industry Developments
In August 2026, Tanzania achieved a major milestone in its electric mobility sector by launching the country’s first electric vehicle assembly plant.
The plant was established through a joint venture agreement signed in April 2024 between Shakti Green Energy, an Indian energy solutions company, and Utegi Technical Enterprises, a Tanzanian logistics firm.
On 31 August 2026, the Tanzania Electrical, Mechanical and Electronic Services Agency (TAMESA) convened an e-mobility stakeholder meeting in Dodoma, bringing together government representatives, vehicle manufacturers, importers, and distributors.
In April 2026, EWURA issued guidelines covering electric vehicle charging stations and battery-swapping infrastructure. The guidelines apply to charging and swapping facilities serving two- and three-wheelers, cars, vans, buses, and trucks.
