Kenya EV Ecosystem Report: A Look at the 2&3 Wheeler EV Market
Kenya has emerged as a thriving hub for e-mobility startups within the region, particularly in the realms of Electric Three-Wheelers (E3W), and Electric Two-Wheelers (E2W). Currently, the market boasts approximately 12 major local Electric Motorcycle Manufacturers (OEMs)/Direct Retailers and 3 major local Electric Bicycle OEMs/Direct Retailers. Notably, the E2W sector stands out for its high adoption rate among Kenyan consumers, featuring two primary vehicle types: Electric Bicycles and Electric Motorcycles.
The necessity for comprehensive information and data regarding the present state of e-mobility and its users cannot be overstated. Such data is pivotal for establishing baseline measures for ongoing impact evaluation and crafting effective interventions and policies that cater to the genuine challenges and needs of individuals on the ground. However, significant data gaps persist within the Kenyan e-mobility market, with crucial information scattered across various stakeholders.
This fragmented landscape impedes swift market entry for enablers, as comprehensive insights are sought before investment. Moreover, the nascent state of the e-mobility industry in Kenya raises concerns regarding consumer and user safety due to inadequate regulation. In crafting pertinent e-mobility policies, an approach centered on understanding consumer needs, experiences, behaviors, and challenges has proven to be the most effective in driving the organic adoption of e-mobility solutions in Kenya.
Over the past five years, 2- and 3-wheeler vehicles have consistently represented the highest volume of imports among vehicle types, serving as integral components of first and last-mile transport solutions in urban areas. This research endeavor aims to share the 2- and 3-wheelers EV market in Kenya, encompassing various aspects to provide an in-depth understanding of the industry, including the funding landscape, the players, the competitive landscape and future industry trends.
