    How Nigeria is Switching From Oil to EVs

    Michael Agbor says that when Nigerians ask: ‘Can you drive an EV in the rain?’ I show them videos of EVs plowing through 1-meter floods!" There’s no better marketing tool than showing confidence in what you sell. In this episode of The Africa EV Show, Njenga Hakeenah engages with Michael Agbor, the General Manager of EV World Nigeria, which offers 360-degree EV vehicle consultancy.  The sister company, Electric Mobility Center, sells EVs and offers potential customers an EV subsidy and financial options in partnership with local institutions. Agbor explains: How Nigeria is moving from EV skepticism to increased adoption with 5,000+ EVs now on the road! The Chinese EV brands dominating Nigeria’s market including BYD, NETA, and pre-owned Teslas Free charging stations, financing hurdles, and why Nigerians hate car loans The truth about Nigeria’s "customs duty-free" EV policy (and why it’s hard to claim) Local assembly vs. imports – Why full EV manufacturing is still years away JOIN THE DISCUSSION: X: @ChinaGSProject | @hakeenah Facebook: www.facebook.com/ChinaAfricaProject YouTube: www.youtube.com/@ChinaGlobalSouth Now on Bluesky!

  2. The State of Electric Vehicles in East Africa: Challenges & Opportunities

    The State of Electric Vehicles in East Africa: Challenges & Opportunities

    Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania combined have an estimated 15,000 EVs on the road with two wheelers dominating the market at more than 90 per cent of the total. Focusing on the three East African countries, the discussion analyzes the capabilities of off-grid power to handle the shift to electric mobility and the policies shaping the industry. The conversation also looks at local EV manufacturing as the key to making e-mobility mainstream. Uganda plans to install 3,000 public charging stations and 10,000 fast chargers while Tanzania is still dominated by lead-acid batteries for the two wheelers creating an opportunity for a robust EV adoption push. Kenya’s EV scene remains robust but does this give it an edge in EV adoption in the region? This week, Njenga Hakeenah, hosts Tom Courtright, the research director at Africa E-mobility Alliance which focuses on EVs in Africa.

  3. Solar Taxi Solving Adoption Challenges in Ghana as Chinese EVs Gain Popularity

    Solar Taxi Solving Adoption Challenges in Ghana as Chinese EVs Gain Popularity

    In Ghana, a fascinating company that started back in 2019 when EV tech was still very new came up with an ingenious idea to get around the power problems for their EVs. This company, Solar Taxi, imported a bunch of low-cost Chinese solar panels to charge a fleet of EV taxis in Ghana built using components sourced from China and India. It was an idea way ahead of its time. Today, Solar Taxi sells some EVs that are locally assembled- including e-scooters and two-wheelers. The company also recycles and repurposes end-of-life EV batteries which they use for energy storage. In this interview, Emmanuel Agyapong, Solar Taxi’s Chief Operating Officer, joined Njenga Hakeenah to discuss the evolution of Ghana’s electric vehicles market.

    From Motorcycle Taxis in Kenya to E-Tricycles in Sierra Leone, Africa Is Building Its Own EV Ecosystem

    When Moses Sandy travelled to China with his prototype, he knew that Sierra Leone needed reliable and clean transport that could easily be powered not by gasoline but by the abundant energy harnessed from the sun. In the heart of Freetown, Sandy’s prototype has become a game changer that has made the city a little quieter with only the hum of the tricycles' engines and the air a little less polluted since these e-tricycles, popularly known as keke, do not emit harmful gases like gasoline does. At the company’s garage, NEEV Salone also partners with other players in the city interested in moving Sierra Leone from fossil fuels to renewable energy in transport. In this first episode of The Africa EV Show, NEEV Salone’s founder, Moses Sandy, and Kenya’s EV trends analyst at Continent Rising, Ian Musembi, join Njenga Hakeenah to discuss EV adoption in Kenya and the West African country.
