MojaEV recently introduced 100 NETA V electric cars to the Nairobi taxi market. The first batch of 20 cars has already been given to taxi drivers, with the rest to follow by the end of the year. The company plans to deliver a total of 500 vehicles by the middle of next year. This move is a big step towards changing how transportation works in Nairobi.
Economic Benefits of Electric Cars
MojaEV believes that electric cars like the NETA V offer many advantages over traditional cars. They are cheaper to fuel and maintain, which means taxi drivers can make more money and be more financially stable.
Supporting Taxi Drivers
This initiative not only helps individual drivers but also creates a better economic system for the taxi industry in Nairobi. Many drivers struggle to get loans to buy vehicles because they can’t access banking services. MojaEV has partnered with banks to make it easier for clients to pay for rides directly to drivers’ bank accounts. This will help drivers build a financial history and improve their economic situation over time.
Meeting Demand for Sustainable Transportation
With 4.5 million people in Nairobi relying on public transport, there is a big need for efficient and eco-friendly taxi services. Currently, only 11% of the population uses digital-hailing taxis, so there is a lot of room for growth in this area. Adding 500 electric taxis to the city will make a big impact.
Growth of Electric Cars in Kenya
From 2018 to 2023, only 201 electric cars were registered in Kenya. Now, MojaEV will add 500 NETA V’s in just 8 months! This will help the electric car industry in Kenya grow. MojaEV is also selling Skyworth SUVs to fleet operators and consumers.
Luxury and Sustainability
MojaEV recently gave three luxury Skyworth SUVs to clients in Nairobi. The CEO, Mr. Wang, said that these vehicles represent a new era of sustainable transportation in Kenya. The Skyworth SUV is known for its great performance, spacious interior, and eco-friendly features. It’s a good choice for people who want to reduce their carbon footprint without giving up comfort or style. The all-electric powertrain means zero emissions, which helps Kenya reduce its overall carbon footprint.
