Blithe Construction Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Patrick Khambadza who is also a lecturer at Malawi University of Business and Applied Sciences (MUBAS),has  urged Malawians to embrace Electric Vehicles (EVs) to combat climate change.

Khambadza made the appeal on Friday in Blantyre after purchasing an EC3 electric vehicle from Sky Energy Africa worth K62 million, making him one of the pioneers of electric vehicles in the country.



He emphasized that switching to electric vehicles will not only reduce costs but also contribute significantly to environmental protection.

“By adopting electric vehicles, we will substantially cut our fuel and operational expenses while promoting a greener future.

“It is a smart financial decision that goes beyond environmental responsibility,” Khambadza said.

On his part,Sky Energy Africa’s Operations Director, Kondwani Tchereni, echoed Kambadza’s sentiment, stressing that investing in electric vehicles is crucial for environmental sustainability and cost savings.

“We are committed to protecting the environment while helping individuals make significant savings through the use of electric vehicles,” Tchereni added.

An Electric Vehicle (EV) is a vehicle whose propulsion is powered fully or mostly by electricity.

EVs include road and rail vehicles, electric boats and underwater vessels, electric aircraft and electric spacecraft.
