E‑motorbikes and battery‑swapping models are developing rapidly across East Africa, bringing tangible savings to riders, alongside modern, high‑performance bikes and clear environmental benefits. Pioneering start‑ups such as Ampersand Energy and Spiro are leading this transformation in the region. I learned a great deal from Ampersand and its founder Josh Whale — and it was a welcome change from meeting rooms to experience a silent electric ride through Kigali. Ampersand is among those supported through our Impact Investing initiative, led by Schneider Electric Energy Access and Gaia Impact.
Jean-Pascal Tricoire, Battery-swapping is such a game changer for EV adoption in emerging markets, The East Africa e-mobility story is one of the most exciting we've been tracking. We recently published a Battery Swapping Market report covering adoption trends, key players like Ampersand and Spiro, and the growth outlook across Africa and Asia. Happy to share a few sample pages!
Great
Inspiring to see innovation in e‑mobility. The progress of battery‑swapping models and high‑performance e‑motorbikes highlights how technology can deliver both sustainability and tangible economic benefits. With NITI Aayog’s policy providing a strong push, and startups like Sun Mobility leading the way, guess India is well‑positioned to accelerate adoption of these solutions. With over a decade of experience in QA governance, ERP migration, and digital transformation across global organizations, I am now seeking to contribute my expertise to the electric vehicle's ecosystem. #ElectricVehicles #SustainableMobility #DigitalTransformation #OpenToWork
