Impact on Underrepresented Groups:
Kiri EV is looking to convert last mile 2 & 3 wheeler mobility into electric powered. We are looking to address barriers to e-mobility adoption, using 2 & 3 wheeler electric vehicles that are designed for use in African terrain both urban and rural. Kiri will also build local capacity to maintain and service the vehicles which a major barrier to adoption of EVs. Through Kiri’s Pay-as-you-earn lease-to-own vehicle financing Kiri will make it more affordable to own an electric 2 & 3 wheeler. Kiri will set up reliable and affordable charging stations, ensure the PayGo costs cover charging and basic service of the vehicle, and enable dual use of charging infrastructure. This ensures the infrastructure does not lie idle when there are no vehicles charging thus incentivising partners to set them up and rapidly increase our charging network. Kiri will create new jobs from renewable charging points which will create new income streams and opportunities, with our target being women and youth who run/operate kiosks that can be converted into solar charging points. Our affordable ownership schemes will make it easier for youth to own an electric motorcycle for productive use as well extra income from charging points.
