Description

Kenya is emerging as a leader in Africa’s electric vehicle (EV) adoption, but how is artificial intelligence (AI) accelerating this transformation? In this episode of The Africa EV Show, Njenga Hakeenah sits down with Warren Ondanje, Managing Director of the Africa E-Mobility Alliance (AfEMA), to explore AI’s role in Kenya’s mobility future.

From optimizing battery performance and smart charging to predictive maintenance and route planning, Ondaje breaks down how AI operates "behind the scenes" in Kenya’s EVs—even if flashy features like self-driving cars remain distant.
