🌍⚡The Road to Addis: Powering a New Era of African Mobility A 1,600 km journey. Two capitals. One powerful message. From Nairobi to Addis Ababa, the Road to Addis electric mobility expedition embodied the vision of Africa E-Mobility Week: decisive action, cross-border collaboration, and a shared commitment to a cleaner, smarter transport future for our continent. Along the way, we witnessed more than the distance travelled — we saw the future taking shape: 🔋 Charging corridors coming alive across East Africa 🚙 Electric vehicles proving their strength across diverse landscapes 🤝 Communities, innovators, and leaders uniting to accelerate Africa’s e-mobility transition This journey showed that Africa’s move to electric mobility is no longer theoretical. It’s real. It’s happening. And it’s being driven by champions who are putting wheels on the road, energy into systems, and ambition into action. To all partners, drivers, and organisers, thank you. Your dedication powered #AEW2025 and continues to shape the continent’s mobility future. 📖 Full story: https://lnkd.in/df45NdqS Photo courtesy: INTRO AFRICA #RoadToAddis #ElectricMobility #CleanTransport #SustainableMobility #AfricaRising #Innovation #CleanEnergy #FutureOfTransport Intro Africa | Thought Leader Africa | Sustainable Mobility Insights | Kuehne Climate Center | kplc | SPIRO | Roam

🔄 Circularity & Inclusion: The Missing Links in Africa’s EV Transition ⚡ Two critical gaps flagged in the Africa E-Mobility Report 2025: 🔋 Battery Circularity — End-of-life (EOL) management is underdeveloped. Africa needs urgent investment in second-life batteries, safe recycling, and reuse systems to avoid future waste crises. 👩🏾🔧 Gender Inclusion — Women remain under-represented across the e-mobility value chain (manufacturing, operations, leadership). Without intentional inclusion, adoption risks being inequitable. 👉 Projects that tackle battery circularity or increase women’s participation are high-impact opportunities for both investors and policymakers.
