Discover the silent, under-the-radar electric vehicle revolution happening in Kenya!

In this episode of The Africa EV Show, Njenga Hakeenah sits down with Peter Kihara, the visionary behind Teachers Transporters.

Kihara shares his incredible journey from the traditional transport industry to becoming a pioneer in customizing and importing Chinese electric vehicles ranging from motorcycles to tuk-tuks and small cars- specifically designed for African needs.

He reveals how he travels to China with designs "in his brain" to create affordable, practical EVs for the Kenyan market.

In this conversation, the two discuss competition with Chinese dealers, savings drivers made by switching from fuel to electric, and the company’s innovative "lease-to-own" financing model.

Kihara also has an ambitious plan to retrofit 200,000 petrol motorcycles to electric and locally assemble the vehicles, as well as the role of the government in boosting the sector.

This is a powerful story of African ingenuity, utilizing green technology to solve local problems and building a business that aims to become a billion-dollar company.
