Ghanaian startup Kofa, a forerunner in battery network solutions which is currently rolling out an e-motorcycle in its home market, plans to take its battery swapping solution to Kenya and Togo in the neat future. It has developed a multi-use high-capacity battery system named Kore2, alongside a battery swapping network, as it bids to foster a sustainable energy future in West Africa. Kofa has strategically partnered with TAIL-G, a globally recognised e-motorcycle manufacturer, to design the Jidi e-motorcycle, which is tailored for the African market. The Jidi e-motorcycle, equipped with Kofa’s Kore2 battery, boasts a range of over 100km, catering to the mobility needs of the region with a sustainable solution. While other companies focused on importing ready-made EVs into the market, Kofa focused on creating a market for efficient batteries and the charging infrastructure to support battery users.
