On November 8, 2019, the Nairobi EV Summit 2019 will bring together business leaders and key players in the electric vehicle (EV) sector to explore how to advance full e-mobility in Kenya.
The event, sponsored by Tech Magazine with the help of City Hall and Kenya Power, will feature a high-level business forum with senior industry leaders, as well as exhibitions showcasing the latest in electric vehicle technology.
Kenya Power, City Hall, KenGen, and Ketraco are among the stakeholders expected to attend the event, which aims to explore available opportunities for investors and job creation in the EV sector.
The government has already taken steps to support the growth of the EV market in Kenya, including cutting tariffs on electric vehicles carrying more than 10 persons from 20 per cent to 10 per cent in the June budget.
Some of the players in the EV market in Kenya include Nopia ride, an EV car sharing firm, and Drive Electric, an electric vehicle consulting firm.
