Abstract
The transport sector’s share of Kenya’s total greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions has been projected to grow from 11% in 2015 to 14.7%
by 2030 in a business as usual (BAU) scenario [1]. In line with the
Kenyan Government’s goal of reducing total GHG emissions by 32%
relative to BAU in 2030 [2], it has begun several initiatives to start
mitigating its transport emissions, including opportunities related
to growing its nascent e-mobility sector. The private sector, with a
range of around 25 new e-mobility companies [3], has been providing
solutions through the supply of various electric vehicles aimed at
serving the local market, while also leading the way in deploying
charging and battery swapping infrastructure.
