First Solar-Powered Battery Charging & Swapping Hub For Rural Mobility Launches In Kenya
PublishedThe global transition to electric mobility is going to be a game-changer for the African continent, and especially for the people living and working in rural areas of the continent. These areas are severely underserved in terms of transport services for people and their goods.
The combination of small electric vehicles such as two- and three-wheelers that will be powered by distributed solar and stationary battery backup systems is going to transform the transport and energy landscape in these rural areas. That is because where it was not really feasible to put up large forecourts to supply petrol and diesel in these remote areas, they can now easily adopt small solar-powered systems in conjunction with these electric vehicles.
The partnership supported by P4G partnerships consists of E-Safiri, a Kenyan startup that specializes in renewable energy solutions, distributed micro-generation, and temporary power solutions, and a female-led startup that is developing charging infrastructure; Glasgow Caledonian University, a world class institution that delivers innovation through research in key areas of strength; Sustainable Transport Africa, which aims at introducing sustainable transport in Africa; and KIRI EV, an...
