Let's journey together!
Electric cars are definitely the future... economical and eco-friendly 👌🏽
They only need to improve on the mileage then I will get one
They are not that eco friendly find out how they are manufactured.
@@doctorharry What's their carbon emission compared to others?
@@LightBulbMomentsKE ua-cam.com/video/G67i_Z8ukD4/v-deo.html
@@doctorharry Will check it out
Good luck to them.
Tesla are big because they worked on the infrastructure more than they worked on the cars.
Get the infrastructure in Nairobi and the world is yours.
imagine the jobs it would create and savings on foreign exchange. Imagine all the cars that would be retrofitted with battery power by opibus which uses gas fuel cars and converts them to electric. Thats thousands of jobs. and even if we import we save on the billions the govt uses to import fuel.
I definitely agree. These young entrepreneurs are going to change the way Nairobi for years to come. Big ups guys!!!
tell that to our president,, they eat money rather than develop infrastructure
@@reubenmwangikibara4434 Its not the government that built the charging infrastructure. It was private companies. Thats why these 2 are in such a good position. To be the first.
@@David_Owsnett however the case, it will take time to fully have the e-cars fully operating in Kenya
Though I don't own any car, I am an EV enthusiast. I have watched so many EV videos and read hundreds of articles about these cars. Electrified Garage and Rich Rebuilds (mostly Teslas) are my fav. I wish I had a chance to sit in this VW, hata kwa dakika tano. The future is here
I read this and I feel you.😂 Ever since I saw the first leaf, that's all I've wanted. Electric cars.
Electrifying t-shirt she has😂
😂😂😂😂😂🥳🥳🥳
on G😂😂😂😂😂
I liked it too😎
😂😂😂
Apparently he liked the shirt...😂
Kenya is still showing that it is the Tech Hub of Africa.
Indeed.
As a Kenyan, I think South Africa is way ahead. Went to flight school there and they have their own local aircraft called Sling and those wazungus fly them alot. They were all over.
Amazing. I always admire early tech adopters who take the risks so that the rest of us can feel comfortable.
Next time, please mention the tax incentive (10% instead of 25%).
If I was rich, I would import a BYD electric bus to ply one of the mombasa rd routes. With zero fuel costs you can afford the toll on the express way throughout.
We actually have chargers in some malls, Two Rivers, TRM, Prestige Mall, Garden city Mall. These are some great level 2 chargers.
Those chargers are for Nopia company not for public
Great job. This is very informative.
I’ve learnt so much here.
African Traveler you are just great at what you do.
Keep up the great work.
Thank you Esrene.
I'm blown away I'm from gh , thanking for a few years getting one. Brilliant content subscribed . I'll have to engage with the brav.
Hey Bro, can't wait to Visit Ghana soon.
is it possible to share the same review with the same car a year later... give a complete breakdown of the tear and wear replacements, what happens when you breakdown etc...
Sure, I need to put a reminder for that.
@@AfrikanTraveller yeah bro thank you again
biggup bro.. you're actually driving while interviewing him and still vlogging ...wagan my G thats some realstuff going on there
Love the content,very informative keep it coming
Man is used to driving toyotas, that's why he keeps confusing an indicator with the wiper. Lol
I drove in a VW for the first time en I experienced the same😜😜😜
I've always liked electric cars... Especially the fact that if you are in traffic... You don't waste any fuel. If you live in older estates you can hook it up to the water boiler meter. So it's viable for city life.
This is such an informative video.
Interesting stuff, electric cars in kenya seem to be on the rise just after hybrid introduction afew years ago, more content on this, the pros and cons of owning one and reviews after a year or two of driving one on Kenyan roads
Find the guy who imported the Tesla in Kenya and drive that one. And interview them and ask them if all the features are available.
I am sure super charging is disabled
The challenge of owning an electric car is the charging unit, they should make an internal charging unit so that when you're doing long journeys you can always charge from an electric socket, or they can put an overhead solar panel that can send power to the the power unit of the car. Also home charging at night should be reccomandable and a guage showing how far the charge can take the car. Electric Charging imfrastructures should be implemented but should be tarrifed with a cost for the consumer.
I own a chevy volt and i loved it. It's technically hybrid. It can go all electric for 50 miles or just run on gas. This maybe perfect for Africa since the infrastructure isn't all there yet
Iyadi is a Kenya Airways B 787 Dreamliner pilot. Top guy
Charging stations is not the major issue to worry about the RANGE is the most important, good thing is EV tech is really improving so far there is a car that has a range of more than 900 km. This means you can drive anywhere in Kenya without thinking of the next charging station.
That must be Tesla Roadster. I totally agree with your assertion that Range is one of the key factors for the efficient use of electric cars. However, the secret is in battery technology and that is why Ellon Musk is investing more on battery technology and superchargers. You would want to have a fast charge like 50% within 10 minutes. In the next 10-15 years, the technology will have advanced a lot and let's wait and see.
This golf can do roughly 250km,Tesla vehicle do more Kilometres than the German E vehicles, watch out for Audi E-Tron,it's beautiful but it can only do 250 km
Just like the 1st mobile phone in 1973 a full charge took roughly 10hrs and offered only 30min of talk time before it was dead, you can imagine how far we've come
RANGE is easier to solve. FAST CHARGING speeds is the biggest hurdle. The infrastructure is quite costly. Imagine having to wait 4 hours to put some range into your EV when you'd pop in for 10minutes in a petrol station for a full tank.
Are there any charging stations in Nairobi?
I was impressed with the Hyundai Kona electric which has more than 500km of range and the price tag is not so high compared to Tesla.
How much is the Kona in Kenyan shillings
Here at 14:28 when switching from Japanese to European🚗, you’ll be hitting the wipers instead of indicator (and vise versa) 😅 happens to everybody! Very informative video. Thanks for sharing!
Iyadi I see you good one m8👍🏽
Very nice and exciting experience and information. You're very creative in selecting what you show us, which is why we keep coming back to your channel. Keep up the good work!!!!! But......please OBEY traffic lights, you can influence lots of Kenyans who don't to do the same! Thanks bro!!
My guy how you drive and control the camera simultaneously.....
Mad talent😰
He he! I see AK at some point got confused by the indicator handle, and activated the wipers, VW's huwa on the right!
hahaha wee haikua rahisi
Very impressive. I am Kenyan living in a small city in Canada, population about 20K and while it is developed in many ways, there are only 3 charging stations for electric cars, however, as one drives outside the city and along highways there will be a gas station every 1 to 2 hours of driving that will have a charger. Also many homes have a charging facility to charge car batteries during the cold winters, this electric outlet can be used for electric cars as well. Kenya is catching up. Great video. Kenya is beautiful.
Way to go, all the best.🔌
Good. I can't wait for the public chargers. I wish you the very best in this awesome ambition.
I like how he kept turning the wipers on instead of the indicators ... The stocks are flipped😜
Hahaha wee it wasn't easy.
Wow,that machine is great,electric cars are way to go.thanks for the content bro,
Karibu sana.
At 21;21 when you mentioned about Shell then boom you passed right in front of one😅🤣
22:06 so true. They actually put speakers to replicate an exhaust note. And they also have fake exhaust pipes. Look under the current C class, E class and S class Mercs and current Audi A8. All have fake exhaust pipes.
I have e-golf 2015,i love it,and never go back,no seevice just love this car.
Wooow you never disapoint.Legend
Thank you.
I agree electric cars are the future. Also liked the electric drive Africa t-shirt on Kathy, as you did.
Cool guys in Kenia ! Greetings from Germany 😀✌️ in december 2020 there have been 15% BEV of all new Sold Cars. Will you install rofttop PV for charging ??
Exciting!
Thank you.
wow... nairobi sure looks great
nice video what day was this so nice downtown not many people kenya roads are looking good !!
It was on a Sunday.
Nice... Funny moments ...1:15...6:18..otherwise educative and Eye-opener. 4:36 like plane cockpit start
Lol, thanks.
Brilliant to see this happening in Kenia, now. Living in the Middle-East, I will have to wait longer before I can make the switch. I'll definitely share this with our friend from Kenia. She will be proud of her country making the switch. 😊💙💙💙
Not kenia, it's Kenya
@@gignationkenya5993 Sorry, in German its spelled Kenia. 😉 Sometimes mixing it up.
The best day to drive to Nairobi CBD: Sunday. This is inspiring. Are EV cars also heavily electronic? I'm just wondering whether the potholes in my neighbourhood would mess it up.
This is quite amazing... We are already making huge strides into the future with the EVs as Kenyans.... There is also another electric vehicle company in Kenya that is making and has made tremendous steps toward electrifying Kenyan transport system... Opibus Kenya ltd.... Is doing an amazing job especially on tourism sector... Imagine game drives being smooth calm and silent rather than lousy diesel or petrol engines.... All made in Kenya....
Early squad
Thank you.
My country people Kenya 🇰🇪
We still getting somewhere somehow...much love
Kama uja salimia watu “hullo great people” hiyo sio halal. If you don’t hear “hullo great people “ then it is an authentic video.
Hahahaha intro lazima.
From using 15,000/- to 3,000/- with the electric in monthly cost. Electric cars ndio zita change transport.
Well if the car cost 6000$ more am better stuck with my petrol engine as long as Iran oil well have 734,000,000,,000 gallons in reserves
@@nyarurui78 i will go 4 the electric coz me and mechanics is a no.
I Just do hope that that the Taxman falls asleep and doesn't impose additional Taxes to Eat into the Savings made on Switching Over from Gas to Electric Vehicles.
@@nyarurui78 well is your saving min 120$ a month on fuel. In 50 months you’ll get your return on investment. And you not counting the fact that there’s no service.
@@nyarurui78 we don't buy electric cars because we fear that gas is running out even though it is slowly, you can choose to spend the extra 600,000 and save a million in a few years.
assume you are saving 10,000 of gas in a month, in a year you save 120,000, in 5 years you have your 600,000 back, note that I've not even mentioned the money you save since you do not need to service it, if you consider that you might even get you money back in 4 years, just like your phone you only need to buy it and charge it.
Watching because of Cathy
The govt is slow to put up elctric chargers because they fear they will lose revenues from oil. But this can be offset by reducing the oil importation bill, But i think Kengen is finalizing on putting up electric chargers. If the govt was smart they would zero rate importation of electric cars as this will reduce the oil importation bill.
If that is their mentality it must be really lame.
We have abundance of Sunlight. Why not set up Solar powered charging stations?
True. The govt gets 35sh per litre of fuel hence electric cars will be a huge loss to them
Kwa iyo t-shirt ya uyo dem Mimi nimeona tu zangu 🙈😍
To my one view I think electric vehicles importation should be tax free
Totally agree with you.
Should be but the GOK makes too much revenue on import taxes and Kenyans are frugal. They would JUMP at the opportunity and thus deny the GOK revenue. But for environmental reasons they really should be tax free or at least favored slightly.
They own petroleum companies
Love that you mentioned shell and bp 21:21 and in the background is a shell petrol station
Haiya!! Did you just pass a red light at 14:32? What will our international viewers think of our driving in Kenya?
Awesome 👍🇰🇪🔥
The challenge for me is that range. Once we have cheap options with a range of 500Km plus, I will definitely go electric. For now let me continue admiring Tesla.
please install tht public charging station asap. ......i have a prius hybrid but want to upgrade to the plug-in hybrid ......
I can attest to that...in Germany its real good and cheap...we saved alot its an year now and we are enjoying smooth ride...would like to hear how that works in kenya since highways have no charging stations ama ziko..? I believe no rationing anymore kwa kenya power..
Charging pots are still within Nairobi mostly.
Most Kenyans buy Cars considering their depreciation,that's why Toyota is popular here.
But its being CHALLENGED right now, by HONDA, NISSAN and MAZDA
Very true. Electric cars hold their value better than gas cars so we are sure more Kenyans will switch to EVs soon too and this the depreciation will be a major factor in influencing this
Woow this amazing 👏👏👏
Thank you.
Problem is you can't take the car far like in Eldoret because there are no charging stations there. Secondly when you use AC.or Heat or use the sterio then the charge goes down so it has alot of disadvantages
Assumption is the lowest level of knowledge. Watch the video to get the answer to your question
These Modern EVs have some good driving range on ome charge. Check out the eGolf non stop trip from Nairobi to Nanyuki:
ua-cam.com/video/y2OvAGEXTSA/v-deo.html
Another way to look at it is this: if you have to travel to Eldoret (which won’t be that often, I presume) you can hop onto public bus and catch an Uber in Eldoret. We have to start thinking about changing our processes and thinking, and nothing will be beyond us.
Excellent job..
It looks really nice.
Thank you.
but the disadvantage of an electric car is once the charge finishes after 270 kms and you're stuck in the middle of nowhere, you will have to cut your journey short and start charging, it takes time to charge so your journey will take longer than a gas car.
One thing to note is that with the increase in electric vehicles there will be a reduction in revenue collected from taxes on fuel. The government will find ways to collect their share from EV.
I wanted to bring back a Tesla and I was worried about that good going Kenya awesome
Awesome. Please bring your Tesla. The World is going Electric and Kenya and Africa going electric too
Thanks for sharing this electric ⚡️ car
I bet the hub has an electric charge station, TRM too but that's reserved for Nopea taxis I guess
Yeah, that's what he mentioned.
04:35 typical pilot behavior. Cockpit flows haha
Hello guys!Where do I get this e golf and at how much?Kindly advise!Thank you.
Beautiful scernery of Nairobi
So cool I will open the shop for selling electrical vehicle chargers and other parts all are welcome by next year. Don't let me don't let's get more electrical vehicles in the country

Comrades… the video peaks at @1:00 get ready to hit this button over and over 😚😚
@Afrikan Traveller, what was stated about lead being used in the BEV manufacturing process is inaccurate. Batteries for EVs use mainly lithium, cobalt, nickel and iron in oxides or phosphate compounds. The use of lead is an outdated process that was used for low density batteries like the 12-volt starter batteries for most other vehicles. The only environmental cost at the current state of their production is in the supply chain for raw materials and shipping the vehicle. If we all adopt battery vehicle use in Kenya, which produces over 70% of its energy from green sources, we would significantly reduce the pollution we see in our cities. And it is far cheaper to run electric vehicles in Kenya compared to fossil-fuel based vehicles.
Afrikan Traveller, you're a true Toyota Guy. The wiper stoke is really torturing you hahahahahaha. European standard stokes hehehehehe
This is dope ..
I like it....I'd love to own one someday.
I hope they roll out a few other EVs charging stations in other parts of the country
It has been in Nairobi ,10 years ago
Wow intresting
How much was the cost of the he vw electric car in Kenya
Good presentation, meanwhile keep everything KENYAN.
*So the engine sound is from the speakers. What happens when the speakers fail, and you don't have engine sound, then set auto-drive and fall asleep forgetting the car is moving, only to wake up in the next town?*
Io ni movie😂😂😂..probably utajipata kwa mto

You can charge garden city mall and it's free
For real!!
Like seriously?
Wow such a nice car,,,i wish i can get a ride
Hey Bro, longtime.
Planning on buying ionic 5 by the end of the year God willing so what's the taxes on importing the same
When can I buy this exact car
Kevo wa pipeline ako wapi tujipatie a small meeting 🤔
Price and shipping for the e-golf?
I have one. 2020 e-niro. New world 👌👌👏.
Roads are so empty, I've lived in Nairobi for quite sometime but I've never seen roads so empty, especially CBD, why? what's goin on in Kenya?
Hii ndio kuomoka sasa!
For how long can the vehicle go after being fully charged?
Wow! I need the T-Shirt
Garden City have charging stations I think.
Awesome
Thank you.
There's a public charging point in Garden City Mall
The solar one in the parking yes i saw it..
It will be very nice 👌
The future is here!
Unachezea serikali wewe, once these things start flooding the market then a few individuals in the serikali through KPLC monopoly will start owning charging stations and the charging price skyrockets, ERC iingilie hapo ndani and all hell breaks loose when everyone will want a pinch of the cash once they know where the soup is sweet
