Moja EV Kenya Accelerates Green Transport With New EV Charging Stations

Date:

NAIROBI, Kenya- Chinese firm Moja EV Kenya launched a major initiative to boost green transport across the nation by rolling out public electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. 

This move is set to revolutionize the adoption of electric vehicles in Kenya, making it easier and more convenient for motorists to switch to eco-friendly options.

Wang Aiping, CEO of Moja EV Kenya, highlighted the significance of the new 80 KW DC fast charging stations during a press briefing in Nairobi. 

“Our goal is to have 100 charging stations spread across Kenya by the end of the year,” said Aiping. 

These stations are designed to charge EVs to full capacity within just 15 to 30 minutes, significantly reducing downtime and extending driving range.

Kenya is laying the groundwork to support this green transition. According to Maurice Njagi, an industrial development officer at the Ministry of Investments, Trade and Industry, the country has implemented policies that incentivize the deployment of EV charging infrastructure. 

Charging stations benefit from preferential electricity tariffs, recognizing their role in promoting sustainable transport.

As of December 2023, Kenya had 3,753 registered electric vehicles, making up 1.62pc of the total vehicles in the country, as reported by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority. 

With the introduction of fast charging stations, this number is expected to rise as more motorists embrace the benefits of electric vehicles.

By reducing charging times and increasing accessibility, the initiative not only supports the environment but also aligns with Kenya’s broader goals of sustainable development.
