Kiri EV
What the source says
Transportation accounts for 23% of household expenditure in sub-Saharan Africa. Households struggle with high oil prices and the instability of African currencies. Additionally, growing urban populations and inefficient public transport systems have led to an increase in the number of motorcycles in cities, contributing to higher levels of air pollution. Kiri EV is also targeting rural areas, where fuel prices can be up to 7% to 10% higher than in urban areas. The company’s electric vehicles can provide savings of up to 60% for riders.
