Additional Info
The startup plans to sell locally assembled electric buses using parts from China’s EV maker BYD Automotive, the company said while announcing it had raised $1 million in pre-seed funding. The company is planning to enter other markets within the East Africa region after establishing ground in Kenya. NopeaRide recently received funding from EEP Africa, a financing facility for early-stage clean energy in Southern and East Africa, to build more solar charging hubs in Nairobi, making it possible for the company to increase its service radius. BasiGo says that they will begin the pilot program after the arrival of the first bus later in the year.
