BasiGo Kenya 🇰🇪

A proud moment for BasiGo! Yesterday, we joined Kenya’s fast-growing electric mobility community for a grand EV parade across Nairobi , moving alongside players advancing electric trucks, bikes, cars, and bicycles. Covering 43Kms the parade was a showcase of what clean transport already looks like in public transit, logistics, motorcycles, personal cars, and two-wheelers. We are proud to play our part in this shift with our electric buses and charging infrastructure deployment, and we firmly believe in Kenya’s unique opportunity to build transport systems powered by clean, locally generated energy. What stood out most was the collective momentum. Different players across the industry, moving together with one shared vision: cleaner cities, quieter roads, and a more sustainable future for transport in Africa. The shift is here. And Kenya is driving it forward. Thank you @EMobilityKenya and @KenyaPower for bringing together industry players and organising this important demonstration. #EVparade2026 #SustainableTransport #ElectricMobility

@MikhailNgugi Hi @MikhailNgugi Thank you for reaching out to us. Kindly drop us an email on info@basi-go.com

@BasiGoKenya Hello, I'm interested in the van/bus for school transport.. EV.

History on the move ⚡🚌 Proudly rolling through the streets of Nairobi as part of the e-mobility parade is our newsest entrant, Kenya’s first electric school bus. A cleaner, quieter, and more sustainable future for student transport is no longer an idea. It is here. #NuturingEVGrowth #EMobility2026 #SustainableTransport

⚡ Nairobi, are you ready? A convoy of electric buses, motorcycles, tuk tuks, and cars has rolled from Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) and will cruise through 43 kilometres of Nairobi’s most iconic roads: Waiyaki Way. James Gichuru Road. Olenguruone Road. Langata Road. Raila Odinga Way. Arwings Kodhek Road. Lusaka Road. Jogoo Road. Outer Ring Road. Thika Road. City Hall Way. Uhuru Highway… and back to KICC. See it? tag us. The future of mobility is hitting the streets. Don’t miss it. #NairobiEVParade #ElectrifyAfrica #Roadto1000

We are proud to see our journey spotlighted by one of our investors, @Proparco, as they highlight the people driving the transition to clean public transport in Kenya. From charging operations to production and our leadership team, this story reflects the work happening behind the scenes to make electric mobility practical and reliable. We remain committed to building the future of clean, electric public transport in Africa. Thank you Proparco for sharing our story. #Roadto1000

@4thtimelucky_22 @Mwass_ Our station in Nakuru is nearing completion and will be live in June.

@BasiGoKenya @Mwass_ When are you planning to put up a station in Nakuru, if ever?

Where’s the fastest one can charge an EV in Nairobi?

"What is the range of this vehicle? Will it get stuck on the road? Is there enough charging infrastructure outside Nairobi?" These are some of the questions that often come up whenever the conversation turns to expanding electric mobility beyond Nairobi. But the narrative and the confidence is steadily changing with our Ma3e electric van built for inter-county travel. Today, our vans are already operating on routes beyond Nairobi, including Thika-Nairobi, Nyahururu–Nyeri and Nyahururu–Nakuru. We recently followed one of our electric vans operating along the Thika Superhighway route, speaking with both the driver and the operator about their experiences. Their sentiments reflect a growing shift in how operators are viewing electric transport: not as a future concept, but as a practical solution already delivering value to them and their passengers. “The maintenance cost of the vehicle to the Sacco is very minimal,” said Manchester Travellers chairman Nicodemus Gatoho. “Customers love it because it is very smooth and there is no noise. When the vehicle arrives, you find people already waiting for it, so it is profitable to the Sacco.” From lower operating costs to a quieter and more comfortable passenger experience, this testimonial is another example of how electric mobility is already proving itself on Kenyan roads.

To the incredible mothers who inspire, nurture, and lead; at home, at work, and in their communities, we celebrate you, happy Mother's day.

@CarReviewExpert Hi @CarReviewExpert, we currently don't have open opportunities. Please be on the lookout for future openings on our social media pages, thanks.

@BasiGoKenya @BasiGoKenya kindly offer me an engineering internship or entry level job. I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering.

We have just completed assembling a 16-seater electric van locally in partnership with Associated Vehicle Assemblers (AVA) in Mombasa! The electric van arrived as completely knocked down (CKD) parts and was assembled within just seven days by the BasiGo and AVA teams. This milestone illustrates growing local assembly capability as work continues on the remaining units scheduled for customer delivery. The Ma3e offers a range of up to 300 km (NEDC) and is designed to support a wide range of transport needs, including public transport, school shuttles, corporate staff transport, airport transfers, and hotel shuttle services. This is another important step in advancing local manufacturing and accelerating the adoption of electric mobility across the country. Our commitment to deploy 1,000 electric vehicles continues to take shape one unit at a time. #Roadto1000 #EVLocalAssembly #MA3e

@BasiGoKenya youtu.be/xFScSRfczJQ?si… This is their YouTube channel.

Something 𝐁𝐈𝐆 is headed our way! The first MA3e CKD kits are packed and ready to ship to Kenya! This time, we are not just deploying electric vans, we are assembling them ,in Kenya! The next Ma3e you ride in won’t just be electric, It will be proudly #MadeInKenya #Roadto1000

From our assembly line to our roads, from engineering to operations, every team member is turning ambition into action building a future of cleaner and more reliable public transport system across East Africa. Your skills, dedication, and creativity are not just keeping buses moving, they are driving a movement that impacts communities every day. Thank you for the work you do and the difference you make. Happy Labour Day 2026! #labourday

We are committed to fostering workplaces where mental well-being, support, and respect enable everyone to thrive because when our people thrive, so does our organization. #WorldSafetyDay #PsychosocialSafety

At BasiGo, we believe our greatest asset is our people. This World Day for Safety and Health at Work 2026, we reflect on this year’s theme: “Good psychosocial working environments: A pathway to thriving workers and strong organization.”

Our Co-founder and CEO, Jit Bhattacharya, was recently featured in the Pan-African Visions magazine. In the interview, Jit shares insights on why Africa’s transition to electric mobility goes beyond transport, touching on energy independence, saving on operating costs, and the expanding charging infrastructure. He also breaks down how BasiGo is translating this vision into action by leveraging Kenya’s renewable energy advantage while scaling electric vehicle adoption across Kenya and Rwanda.

Earth Day is a reminder of the beauty and resilience of our planet, and the responsibility we all share to protect it. It is a moment to reflect on the future we are building, and the one we will leave behind. Across Africa, cities are growing rapidly. The continent is expected to have 10 megacities within the next 20 years! With that growth comes rising pressure from congestion, pollution, and emissions, accelerating to catastrophic climate change. Public transport sits at the center of this challenge. As cities expand, the way people and goods move becomes one of the key drivers of urban emissions and air pollution. At BasiGo, this is not something we reflect on once a year. It is the work we do every day. Because the choices we make about transport today will shape the cities of tomorrow. Cleaner air means healthier cities. Quieter streets mean more livable neighborhoods. Sustainable growth means cities that work for everyone. With each electric bus and Ma3e we deploy, powered by renewable energy, we are taking a step toward that future, one where low-carbon public transport works for both people and the planet. This Earth Day, we are reminded that progress is not defined by intention, but by action. Commitments matter only insofar as they translate into the work we do. The future we want is one we must build together, every day. #EveryDayIsEarthDay #Emobility #ClimateChange
