Does the AITO M9 avoid any Kenya charges because of its powertrain?
Yes. Kenya applies Excise duty (petrol / diesel) (20.0–35.0%) to other powertrains, but not to a plug-in hybrid / erev and battery electric vehicle. That is the practical reason powertrain choice changes landed cost in this market, not just running cost.
