Historically (before China's manufacturing boom) it was used cars that made their way to developing countries, and the infrastructure was built for those cars.

Which is to say, nobody made cars for them, but cars made their way there, and they still developed the infrastructure to support them. A solution to the problem will likely be found once there is a problem to be solved.

Still true for much of the developing world: large quantities of vehicles from the UK and Europe end up being exported to African countries, for example.

Once there are sufficient volumes of cheap used EVs being exported to Africa, the infrastructure will naturally emerge to support them.
