Opinion: How corporate fleets drive EVs

From the newsletter

Africa’s corporate fleets have a major opportunity to accelerate e-mobility adoption, including in Kenya where institutions like Kenya Power operate over 2,000 vehicles. According to Warren Ondanje, the Managing Director of the Africa E-Mobility Alliance, these organisations regularly purchase new vehicles, making them major possible buyers of EVs. 

• Mr Ondanje is an experienced electric mobility professional who has spent five years at AfEMA. He is an engineer and previously managed operations at ARC Ride in Kenya.

• African road transport carries over 80% of goods and 93% of passengers. Corporate and institutional fleets move a large share of this traffic, says Mr Ondanje. These fleets create a major market and opportunity for EVs.
