Our Chief Product Officer, Doreen Orishaba, recently took the stage at the #TED Countdown Summit 2025 in Nairobi, and her talk is officially #LIVE! Doreen shares the real-world journey of scaling clean transport in Africa. From overcoming early skepticism about electric mobility to now moving thousands of passengers daily on zero-emission buses across Kenya and Rwanda, the impact is undeniable. While addressing the #climate crisis is critical, the business case is just as compelling: electric public transport is proving to be cheaper to run, more reliable to operate, and less vulnerable to fuel price volatility. This is a massive economic and operational win for African cities today. Africa has the potential to lead the global electric mobility movement, and #BasiGo has proved that the transition to electric is possible even without subsidies.
