The EV Revolution No One Expected | Burkina Faso Builds Its Own Electric Cars

For decades, the world believed Burkina Faso could only import, survive, and wait for help. That belief ended in 2025.

In a moment that shocked Africa and the world, Burkina Faso launched its first locally assembled electric cars, built by Burkinabè hands, powered by solar energy, and designed for African realities. The new brand, Itawa, represents far more than transportation — it represents confidence, dignity, and industrial independence.

This video tells the story of how a landlocked Sahel nation, under the leadership of Captain Ibrahim Traoré, moved from importing second-hand vehicles to assembling modern electric cars on its own soil. Inside a factory in Ouaga 2000, young Burkinabè technicians — trained through full technology-transfer partnerships — now assemble real, working electric vehicles for everyday use.

You’ll discover:
• How Burkina Faso built its first electric car factory
• Why technology transfer mattered more than aid
• How solar-powered EVs solve Africa’s fuel crisis
• Why taxi drivers became the strongest supporters
• How local manufacturing is changing youth mindset
• Why this project signals Africa’s industrial future

The Itawa Sahel and Itawa Native were designed for rough roads, extreme heat, and low maintenance — not luxury markets. With solar charging, low operating costs, and durability proven by taxi use, these vehicles are redefining what African innovation looks like.

This is not dependency.
This is partnership, skills, and self-belief.

Burkina Faso is no longer waiting.
Burkina Faso is building.
