Ghana has a new price for charging electric cars commercially. This price was set by the Public Utilities and Regulatory Commission, also known as the PURC.
The new rate is 201.6 Ghana pesewas for every kilowatt-hour of electricity used to charge an electric vehicle. This means charging your car will now have a set price.
In addition to the cost of the electricity, there will be a monthly service fee. This fee is set at 500 Ghana pesewas.
This is the first time the PURC has created a special price for charging electric cars that businesses can use. The government wants to encourage more people to use electric cars.
Using electric cars helps Ghana move towards cleaner energy. This means less pollution from vehicles.
The PURC is responsible for making sure utility services like electricity are available and customers are treated fairly. They set the rules and prices for these services.
This new tariff helps make the cost of using electric cars more predictable for drivers and businesses. It is part of a bigger plan to make Ghana's energy use more environmentally friendly.
