Plug-in Electric Vehicles in USA Consumed More Electricity than the Whole of Uganda in 2023!

Light-duty vehicles in the United States consumed approximately 7,596 GWh of electricity in 2023, almost five times the consumption in 2018 according to a U.S. Energy Information Administrationreport. The report also adds that U.S. sales of electric vehicles have increased in recent years, making up 16% of all LDV sales in 2023.

As EV sales continue to grow, this figure of 7,596 GWh consumed by the fleet of nearly 5 million EVs in the USA got me thinking. What would be a cool way to kind of visualise this amount of energy or make it more relatable for some? Well, I looked up the total electricity generated by some countries in Africa and one of the closest ones I found was Uganda. In 2023, a total of 6,032.

On another note, access to electricity is still low in Uganda. Uganda has a population of about 48 million people. However, access to electricity sits at. Uganda needs to urgently ramp up access to electricity for its citizens.

There is now some activity in the Ugandan electric mobility sector, especially in the electric motorcycle segment led by the likes of. As the transition to electric mobility accelerates around the world, it would be great to see a considerable chunk of this fleet transitioning to electric. Of course, increasing general access to electricity as well as access to cleaner cooking should be key priorities.

I just found it interesting to quantify how much electricity electric vehicles are now consuming in the USA by relating it to something closer to home, national electricity consumption figures in Uganda. How about you?Remeredzai Joseph Kuhudzai has been fascinated with batteries since he was in primary school. As part of his High School Physics class he had to choose an elective course. He picked the renewable energy course and he has been hooked ever since.
