The dearth of available data on e-motorcycle usage in African
cities is a significant challenge in impact studies of e-motorcycle
deployment. The ChargeUp! project aimed to fill this research gap
using operational data from e-motorcycles and battery swap stations
in Nairobi to perform modelling and analysis to determine several
key outputs. This project included the analysis of: e-motorcycle trips;
battery swapping demand; battery charging energy consumption;
swap battery charging related emissions for a high renewables and
high fossil energy mix scenarios; charging related electricity costs
for different tariff scenarios; the effect of a co-ordinated charging
scenario on emissions and tariffs; optimal battery ratios and required
numbers of swap stations; and a methodology to determine optimal
regions for battery swap stations based on trip data.
