From 65 EVs in 2018 to 43,000+ in 2025,Kenya’s e-mobility transition is shifting into overdrive! At KAWI Complex today, CS @OpiyoWandayi met with tuk-tuk operators to align on powering last-mile transport with clean energy. The goal? Lower fuel & maintenance costs, scale to 10,000 public chargers by 2030, and tackle financing head-on. The future of Kenyan transport is green, reliable, and operator-first.

"Kenya is open for sustainable energy investment." Speaking at the Clean Energy Conference in Perth, Australia, @EPRA_Ke Deputy Director for Renewable Energy, Eng. Mungai Kihara, urged foreign investors to tap into Kenya's green transition. With 90% of the grid powered by renewables, Kenya offers huge opportunities in natural gas, clean cooking tech, and green industrialisation! #CleanEnergy #EnergyTransition #InvestInKenya #RenewableEnergy #EPRA #QualityEnergyQualityLife

BYD has hit a major infrastructure milestone by activating its 10,000th Flash Charging station in China(halfway to its year-end target of 20,000)while simultaneously initiating an international rollout across Europe and the UK that aims for 3,000 European stations by 2027. Built around an ultra-high-output 1,500 kW system paired with BYD’s second-generation Blade Battery, the architecture enables compatible EVs to charge from 10% to 70% in just five minutes. To scale without overwhelming local power grids, each station incorporates a 370 kWh on-site battery storage buffer that draws a modest load from the grid while releasing massive power bursts during charging,a strategic feature that has already supported 1.83+ million drivers (with nearly a third driving non-BYD vehicles) as the automaker positions itself as a dominant global charging utility.

``The question is not whether electric mobility will happen. The question is whether South Africa will capture value from it." 🇿🇦 At the 2026 @uYiloZA e-Mobility Summit, Deputy Minister Dr. Nomalungelo Gina urged SA to transition from a consumer of imported tech into a global EV & battery manufacturing hub. From local manganese beneficiation to skills training, SA is leveraging its critical minerals and industrial base to power Africa's green transport revolution. #EMobility #ElectricVehicles #CleanEnergy #SouthAfrica #GreenIndustrialisation #uYiloSummit2026 #TechInnovation

Global battery-swapping provider @SUN_mobility has officially entered Africa, choosing Kenya as its launchpad in partnership with pan-African fuel retailer @vivoenergykenya . The initial rollout introduces 35 Quick Interchange Stations across Nairobi and Mombasa, designed to support electric two- and three-wheelersincluding motorcycles, scooters, and tuk-tuks. Built as an open, multi-brand utility, the infrastructure serves models from over 10 different manufacturers, eliminating the need for OEMs to build individual, proprietary swap networks. For commercial riders, the zero-downtime swap system promises substantial efficiency gains, lowering operating costs by 20% to 35% compared to internal combustion engines depending on daily mileage. Looking ahead, SUN Mobility and Vivo Energy plan to leverage 4,200+ Shell and Engen service stations across 29 countries to deploy 2,500+ swapping hubs powering 160,000+ electric vehicles continent-wide over the next five years.

As policymakers, financiers, and EV innovators meet at Africa E-Mobility Week 2026, the conversation isn't if electric mobility takes over—it’s how fast we scale: • Shifting from imported fossil fuels to 80%+ renewable grid power • Unlocking asset financing for 2-wheelers, e-buses, and commercial fleets • Leveraging smart telematics to optimize grid demand & protect asset health From Stellenbosch to Nairobi, the transition is connected, commercial, and clean.

Electrifying fleet operations isn't just a sustainability milestone—it's a high-yield operational strategy. At the TLT Summit, ICT Principal Secretary John Tanui emphasized that connected telematics and IoT are critical to moving Kenya’s e-mobility from pilot projects to commercial scale by providing the real-time data needed to manage battery health, charging networks, and vehicle performance. For corporate fleets, the enterprise ROI is clear: 1.Operational Efficiency: Predictive maintenance replaces reactive repairs, reducing asset downtime. 2.Risk Mitigation: Driver telemetry targets Kenya’s KSh 1.5T annual road safety burden to cut insurance costs. 3.TCO Reduction: Utilizing Kenya’s 80%+ renewable grid power shields fleets from volatile imported fuel prices. The transition to electric is underway; the bottom-line advantage belongs to data-driven fleets. #B2BMobility #FleetManagement #SmartTransport #IoT #EMobilityKE
