Roam, BasiGo, and Kenya Power have jointly expanded Kenya’s public EV charging network to 100 stations across 10 cities, including Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, and Eldoret. The Ksh1.2 billion investment, supported by the Norwegian Embassy and AfDB, includes fast chargers (80% in 30 mins) and solar-powered units in off-grid areas. Over 5,000 electric buses, cars, and bodas now operate on the network. The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority has standardized plug types and pricing (Ksh25/kWh). The government aims for 500 stations by 2027 to support its 5% EV adoption target.
