Description

When Moses Sandy travelled to China with his prototype, he knew that Sierra Leone needed reliable and clean transport that could easily be powered not by gasoline but by the abundant energy harnessed from the sun.

In the heart of Freetown, Sandy’s prototype has become a game changer that has made the city a little quieter with only the hum of the tricycles' engines and the air a little less polluted since these e-tricycles, popularly known as keke, do not emit harmful gases like gasoline does.

At the company’s garage, NEEV Salone also partners with other players in the city interested in moving Sierra Leone from fossil fuels to renewable energy in transport.

In this first episode of The Africa EV Show, NEEV Salone’s founder, Moses Sandy, and Kenya’s EV trends analyst at Continent Rising, Ian Musembi, join Njenga Hakeenah to discuss EV adoption in Kenya and the West African country.
