M-KOPA has already helped finance 10,000 electric motorcycles and is now widening its EV push to tuk-tuks in Kenya. The move targets the fast-growing zero-emission mobility market in cities, where three-wheelers play a central role in everyday transport.
The strategy comes as East Africa sees rising demand for vehicles that are cheaper to run than gasoline alternatives. For Italian readers, it shows that electrification is not limited to cars and scooters, but is also reaching light commercial vehicles used every day.
