Zambia seeks carmakers to make EV components near copper mines
Zambia has held talks with carmakers to entice suppliers to build electric vehicle (EV) components plants near its copper mines. “We have been talking, even last week when I was in Germany, telling these companies to please consider the manufacture of some of your electric-vehicle components in Zambia,” Finance Minister Situmbeko Musokotwane said in Livingstone on Monday. “Those components can then be shipped to your factories in South Africa which now exports to the rest of the world. That is a powerful way of value addition.”
