  • Kenya now has the 12th most costly fuel in the continent with a liter of petrol averagely retailing at over 200 shillings. So deep is the pain at the pump that motorists are finding it hard to keep their engines running and ordinary Kenyans are being forced to dig deeper into their pockets. Subsequently illegal fuel products are now being smuggled into the country simply because they are sourced at cheaper prices

    They should wire it with Sola panel which can charge while moving

    Problem is they cannot carry a heavy load as the petrol powered engine

    5 hours waiting for something to charge? This will encourage drunk driving because the only Way for that long wait to not drive one crazy is when they are charging while at home, work, or bar.

    Reaction measures. So far these vehicles cannot serve 3rd world countries. Not yet efficient even in our 1st world. They talk of mileage not about other accessories that drain the battery eg. AC, Media etc. Victoria statement that it consumes depending on how heavy she is on the peddle ought to raise an eye brow in a nation with poorly done or constricted roads and indisciplined drivers... The Kenyan tropical climate is also a concern in the long run not forgetting the terrain. China has disposed millions of E-Vehicles. Quite a number will be dumped in Africa especially Kenya willing to mislead its citizens.KPLC subsidies in EV is temporary just like any other promise issued by the current government. It will be their focus of taxation just like they have focused on fossil fuel.

    Aptera in Kenya would be amazing! Kenya should order fleets of them, it runs of the ☀️! Would be great business to build and sell them there. Is so6 e one can copy Aptera engineering in Kenya with a Solar power electric vehicle never have to charge or pay to travel 40 miles to 46 kilometers!

    Electric cars are not as good for the environment as we've been made to believe. We should instead focus on new efficient internal combustion engines that companies like Toyota have developed

      @@kabuthakabutha9472 ... The electric motorcycle look promising, if only they can take the concept all the way and milk all the utility from the Electric futures.
      For example, if they can design the motorcycle batteries to be chargeable by solar panels that are not proprietary, then people/ fleets can organize and get free power from their own solar panels.
      This can be done by bundling the motorcycle together with a DC-DC charger (in addition to the AC-DC already included).
      Then they can make the battery multi-purpose by giving it external facing 12V DC outlets that can be used domestically for things like lighting, television, and music ... This function alone would make it a no-brainer for any rural resident.
      Et c.
