- BasiGo launches passenger electric buses in Kenya
City Hoppa and Eastland Eagles are the pilot partners for the project
Buses to run on full charge during the day and charge at night
Take them to kisumu, what nairobi needs is light rail and BRT.
They are BRT electric
Absolutely
Good job keep it up👏👏👏👏👏🙌🙌👏👏
That's amazing! That's why i love kenya
Some comments are always negative on Kenyan progress,..
I love the idea, but I think the Kenya we have currently we must solve multiple problems at a go.
Like we should have an electric bus with 200 seater capacity, the double wagon.
Like as we look at the environment , we also look reducing the number of buses on the road.
25 sweater is seriously too low.
They look top-notch, that's amazing.
Kenya always consume what they don't produce and produce what they don't consume. Bench mark with Uganda and get them assembled here.
there will be an assembly factory for buses by 2023
Great!hope they are cheaper with the impending fare hike over oil.
@@nyikal3644 Kenyas power grid is not entirely dependent on oil, hydro and geothermal power generation is massive! So the impact of oil prices on electric vehicles will be minimal!
20 /=per kilometre Ni expensive kasarani mwiki Ni 15 km ..15×20=300/= kawaida 80/=ama 50/=utakuwa juu saana
Way to go! The battery charging time of 4 hours will be the biggest bottleneck. Wish they could work on switchable batteries!! Way to go nontheless!
KSH20 per Kilometer as Bus fare? Did i hear that correctly?
That is charging not fare
That the Charging costs bazuu
It will bring a sigh of relief since we are experiencing high prices of petrol
I'm glad to hear this. It's long overdue.
The old matatu face out will best thing ever happened.....
Congratulations 👏🏽 kenya 🇰🇪👌🏽
Finally we moving the digital way..
Uhuru is introducing electric bus while ruto is talking about wheelbarrows 😆😆
Why not manufacture our own,untill when will we stop all this importation
Because there is something embedded in the Kenyans mentality called “we don’t have the capacity”
Our Manufacturing sector is the problem. It's not like agriculture Bana. We need to invest infrastructure to build such buses than complaining that is imported.
Congratulations 🎉
what are the charging procedures and where is the power coming from in a country full of rationing??
Your problem should not be where the power is coming from. That's their problem.
Ethiopia is already giving u electricity from their mega dam..... Africa will be great
Awesome!!!👍🏽👌🏾
But why dont You manufacture at jkat
Do we have a really modern manufacturing local company to help build the buses and supply them with batteries and electronics? I don't think so...
You can't even compete with matata sector,,,,if you want to know ask Kenya bus and Nyayo bus ,,,hatuwezi lala njaa.....nails works
With the Kenyan electric grid?! ... They will have to install huge backup batteries at the charging station.
electricity is enough
We need them in Kisumu
Buy one
@@usa7530 if the governor gets this for us it would be really good
Good
Get solar charges on Buses to prolong the power even to run almost whole day!
The electric bus idea is excellent. They are 💯% Eco-friendly with 0 emission.0( no smoke at all)
(Kplc part Quite funny) !!Am just laughing at that part of news that Kenya power said they have the capacity of maintaining the charging stations yet our transformer at Muruka, kandara sub-county blew out due to overloading almost 2months ago and we're still in the darkness since then...over 100 homes have been living like in the early Stone age since then.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣are u a comedian🤣🤣🤣ATI stone age era🤣
@@MAINA_THETHERE_1704 For real!! A blown out transformer has taken almost two months ( still counting) .. so far
@@sammyndekeindekei6581 Kenya power is a mess, it's a failure, but I think the owners of this buses have a plan B
@@MAINA_THETHERE_1704 Their Monopoly will come to end, someday
@@sammyndekeindekei6581 most people are turning to solar energy, in 10yrs they will feel the heat, they will be coming even at night to fix the mess
uhuru did a great a job
this is private sector
Those matatus noise is too much hope one day kenya will have peaceful quiet transport☝🏽 one the Dream will come the true 🙏🏽
Introduce ones that use solar system.
Good initiative. But give these buses one month, they will look like they were being driven against a wall.😄😄
😂😂
This is a private company so hopefully they will employ competent drivers, not your usual matatu thugs who drive like maniacs.
austin njagi..even the rogue matatus are private.
MutaWezaaa!!power cuts off every now n then.
congratulations! but in Kenya the way i know this country i just see the buses halting indefinetly in the cbds causing katastrophe
they are selling them to matatu saccos...so its a well calculated move.
Uhuruto gvt has performed greatly so far somehow.
Not some how . He has perform well and people with eyes can see very well without putting politics in it.
Only a fool can say uhuru have done anything
@@alextercisio don't worry people are used to negativity
@@alextercisio and only a stupid compound wheelbarrow will say uhuru has done nothing bcoz they don't have eyes to see.
@@felixochiengomondi6189 since when did wheelbarrows start seeing 🤔🤔🤔
Let's go back to our disel motors for long distance travelers
Kama Tanzania kama Kenya
Why is their busses so short though? should be a less 40 or 60 length.
This is a start up and thats their choice.
Vile tumetafuta mafuta Turkana surely kwani...tuko nyumo kweli.
Hatutski kuchomwa na jua tukiwa kwa badi please
Eeeh bt wngeikea kilometer mingi Kaa 500 ivi hio 250 ni kidogo
5 million ksh???
AMERIKA❤❤❤
5mil per bus, 25 seater, ksh 20 charge per KM, 4hrs to fully charge.... DOA!!
Why do they have to import them? Offer tax incentives and build an assembly plant in the country. Direct jobs and emergence of supporting industries.
This the kind of news we want to hear ..not Uhuru Raila Ruto nonsense
Ksh 20 per km, I dont know who is gonna leave normal charge bus and pay 20 per Km. That's just way too high
BYD automotive 🤔 Hello China. 🙂
BasiGo has received a $4.3 million Seed funding round, led by Novastar Ventures, to commercialise its electric bus business model and launch a local assembly of electric buses in Kenya.
The Kenyan-headquartered company also received funding from several Silicon Valley investors (project beneficiaries), including;
Moxxie Ventures,
Nimble Partners,
Spring Ventures,
Climate Capital, and
Third Derivative.
The company’s CEO and Co-founder Jit Bhattacharya welcomed the investors, adding that they were highly experienced in rapidly scaling businesses in the market.
“They understand this extraordinary moment of opportunity and urgency as time runs out for the world to make a meaningful impact on climate emissions,” he said.
Meaningful partnerships (Where loooting starts)
Commenting on their investment, Sapna Shah, Partner at Novastar Ventures said they were looking forward to supporting the team’s vision to transform the public bus transport sector in Africa.
“Our investment will accelerate the adoption of electric buses through an innovative finance model, leading to a vastly improved experience for commuters as well as better air quality in dense urban neighbourhoods”, Shah said.
They deleted my research comment so i left it under your reply. There is more to the project than just buses.....more to come

Kenyan Startup BasiGo Begins Selling Locally-Manufactured BYD Electric Buses From China
Who knows where the rotten nyayo buses were dumped?
Create more space.more junk just inaugurated!
Support your own as east Africans but wazungu every time wazungu made
Hope black out iliisha Kenya.😜😜
I believe they have that in mind
Kwani hosi hu stop ku function stima zikipotea?
You've never heard of solar or hydrogen I guess
BYD China
We should not import we have a company building electric bus in kenya
Agreed
True!
Our Manufacturing sector is the problem. It's not like agriculture Bana. We need to invest infrastructure to build such buses than complaining that is imported.
Opibus buses are nowhere near looking like this
20sh per km?? That's absurd.
They can't work in Kenya, let's wait and see
Sasa wewe hutakii mema
Stay in USA and don't come.... Dyingwest empire
Bado ntapanda manyanga alaa
Politic show down,,how many months are these going to last??fool yourselves.
...
This won't last long mark my words,,,
Have sensed the same thing. ....kenya cartels
Too negative,be optimistic
Nonsense
With power outrages 😠 😡 👿 😤
Kuna solar panels...hallooo
I don't think this is gonna work Kenyans won't be able to manage them properly 🤪🤪🤪🤪
We Must start trusting in ourselves
Electric is not the future.Scam!
electric buses are not the way to go
