KCB Bank and ePureMotion have partnered to expand electric vehicle infrastructure with the opening of a new charging station targeted at public service vehicles (PSVs) in Nairobi.
The initiative aims to support the transition to cleaner transport options for public transport operators, addressing infrastructure gaps that have slowed broader EV adoption in Kenyaโs mobility sector. Specific details on the stationโs location, capacity, and charging speeds were not immediately disclosed in initial announcements.
Kenya has seen growing interest in electric mobility, particularly for two- and three-wheelers used in boda boda and delivery services, with over 35,000 EVs registered by mid-2025. Public charging infrastructure remains limited, though utilities like Kenya Power have begun expanding stations in Nairobi and other urban centres.
KCB has previously supported e-mobility through financing for electric motorbikes and related projects, aligning with broader government efforts under the National Electric Mobility Policy to reduce emissions and promote sustainable transport. ePureMotion is active in EV sales, charging solutions, and training for the sector.
The new station forms part of ongoing private sector contributions to Kenyaโs e-mobility ecosystem, where high upfront costs and charging access remain key barriers for PSV operators shifting from fossil fuel vehicles.
No timeline for additional stations or details on financing arrangements for operators using the facility were provided. The partnership reflects increasing collaboration between financial institutions and mobility firms to scale green transport solutions in the capital.
