The number of electric vehicles and motorcycles registered in Kenya increased more than five times last year as more corporations and individuals migrated to clean mobility.

Data from the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) shows that the National Transport and Safety Authority registered a record 2,694 electric vehicles (EVs) in 2023, marking a significant increase from the 475 units the previous year.
