The City of Windhoek has taken a bold step into the era of clean transport, with mayor Ndeshihafela Larandja inaugurating a new electric vehicle (EV) charging station at the municipality’s head office. The launch coincides with Zero Emissions Week, which runs until 22 September and aims to spark conversations on climate change, air pollution, and the urgent need for sustainable energy solutions.

The initiative forms part of the city’s commitment to embracing innovation in energy and transport, with Larandja noting that reducing emissions begins with practical investments that change how Namibians move and power their lives.

According to Tesa managing director Elron Awase, the economics of EVs are already within reach. He explained that larger models such as BMWs can be fully charged for as little as N$120. Charging times vary: a standard unit can take four to five hours, while a DC fast charger cuts that down dramatically to just 30 to 40 minutes.

The station itself is equipped with a 22 kW AC charger, fitted with two ports to give motorists more convenience and flexibility. Positioned at the heart of the city, it is expected to serve as both a practical facility and a statement of intent about where Windhoek is headed.

By linking the charger’s unveiling to Zero Emissions Week, the city is aligning with a global push to decarbonise transport and promote greener urban living. The effort underscores Windhoek’s ambition to not only keep pace with clean energy developments but to help set the standard for a low-carbon future in Namibia.
