President William Ruto is scheduled to launch the country’s National Electric Mobility Policy this afternoon, as Kenya seeks to reduce its reliance on fossil fuel and move to green energy. The Ministry of Roads and Transport is launching the National Electric Mobility (e-Mobility) Policy at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre. The government says the need to promote electric mobility stems from several considerations pertaining to the country’s environmental, economic, social and technological challenges and opportunities. Kenyans are embracing, albeit slowly, electric motor vehicles (EVs), according to the Ministry of Roads and Transport. EMAK says electric motorcycles recorded the most notable growth, increasing from 678 registered units in 2022 to approximately 24,000 units in 2025.
