The rapid expansion of electric mobility offers a striking illustration of this momentum. By building on this deeply embedded mode of travel, the transition to electric mobility becomes both practical and logical. By focusing on accessible, sustainable and economically viable solutions, such as electric motorcycles, Africa is taking a decisive step towards cleaner mobility. Spiro—the largest electric mobility operator in Africa, has developed an innovative circular model by giving lithium batteries from its electric motorcycles a second life as energy storage systems (ESS). As Africa accelerates its energy transition, the rest of the world would do well to take note.
