Chaji, an electric vehicle charging company, is targeting the e-mobility sector in Kenya’s major urban centers. The company sells Electric 2-Wheeler (E2W) and Electric 3-Wheeler (E3W) chargers to third-party hosts, primarily Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMMEs), in Nairobi and Mombasa. Its business model allows host businesses to generate additional revenue by collecting a share of the charging fees. In collaboration with Simbacorp, Chaji is investing in research and development to create rapid chargers capable of reducing charging duration to just 2-3 hours, significantly enhancing user convenience. The PREO-funded project’s ambitions include the installation of 70 fast EV chargers across 10 strategic third-party host sites, including commercial centers, SMEs, and community-level shops in Nairobi and Mombasa. Beyond technology deployment, Chaji aims to test and refine fast charging technology to further reduce electric 2-wheeler charging times. Additionally, the company is developing tailored financing mechanisms for electric 3-wheelers, addressing a critical barrier to adoption in the region.
