Ghana’s electric vehicle market is surging, with ownership projected to exceed 1 million by 2030. However, a significant barrier remains: batteries account for 60% of vehicle costs, and today, 100% of them are imported.

Through the UK-Ghana Partnership for Jobs and Economic Transformation Programme, we are working together to flip this script.

In August 2025, this partnership reached a new milestone. Three engineers from Wahu Mobility Ltd. traveled to the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre for intensive training. Their mission? To master the technical blueprints required to bring battery production home to Ghana.

• 𝟱𝟬% 𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀: Producing batteries locally can reduce the cost of EVs for Ghanaian consumers by over half.
• 𝗝𝗼𝗯 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Building a local supply chain creates high-skilled manufacturing roles in-country.
• 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Reducing import reliance accelerates Ghana’s transition to a green, 24-hour economy.

This isn’t just about training; it’s about a shared vision for a cleaner, more affordable, and industrially independent future for Ghana.
