This year Burkina Faso 🇧🇫 unveiled its first locally assembled electric car brand, ITAOUA. It is 100% electric, solar-powered, and can go 330 kilometers after only 30 minutes of charging. The production plant is located in Ouaga 2000, a district in Burkina Faso. The launch of ITAOUA’s electric car is expected to impact Burkina Faso’s economy profoundly and generate thousands of jobs.
