Simba Corp has entered the nascent Electric Vehicle (EV) market, seeking to progressively offer passenger cars and commercial units over the years as Kenya transitions from vehicles powered by diesel and petrol.
The company recently sold two units of all-electric Mahindra XUV 400 Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) to Kenya Power at a cost of Ksh9 million ($70,000) each. The dealer plans to deliver four more units to the electricity distributor later this year.
