Once this limit is reached, they are charged power under the normal tariffs. The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) now says that the government will remove the 15,000kWh tariff following lobbying by EV firms surpassing the threshold due to increased demand for EV charging. According to Epra Director-General Daniel Kiptoo, the limit was set to protect Kenya Power from further revenue losses due to the cheaper tariffs. “We need to have a conversation with the utility (Kenya Power) and the stakeholders so that we can make a decision on increasing the limit from 15,000 units per month to a higher threshold,” said the Epra boss. It is also more than the cumulative number of EVs that had been previously registered in Kenya, bringing the total number of EVs registered in the country to 3,753.
