THE ADVENT OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES AND AIR POLLUTION CONTROL IN KENYA: BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES

Abstract: This study sought to establish the opportunities availed by the advent of electric vehicles and air pollution control in Kenya. This study examines the effects of electric vehicles and the integration of renewable energy sources on ecological sustainability, public well-being, and economic progress, with a particular emphasis on the context of Kenya. By using the principles of Demand Theory, the Economic Theory of a Faith-Based Approach to Global Warming, and the Environmental Kuznet Curve Theory, this study highlights the worldwide trend towards adopting cleaner alternatives in pursuit of sustainable economies. This study uses description and predictive methodology. The empirical evidence indicates a rising need for electric vehicles and clean energy solutions, which is consistent with theoretical frameworks that anticipate a heightened environmental awareness accompanying economic progress. The research highlights the significant importance of government policies, fiscal incentives, and infrastructure development in facilitating this change. The observed patterns demonstrate a significant positive association between the widespread adoption of electric vehicles, the mitigation of air pollution, and the creation of improved economic prospects. 

Keywords: Electric Vehicles, Opportunities and Air pollution Control.
