Mr. Kamal Budhabhatti, Chief Executive Officer, Little, said “While EVs are relatively nascent in Kenya, Little plans to play a vital role in working with consumers, partners, and governments to accelerate EV adoption. As government EV policies and incentives are implemented and essential infrastructure like charging stations are to be built, this launch will provide insights and best practices on the usage of EVs as part of the day-to-day usage of the customers. Successful EV adoption is a multi-stakeholder effort, and we’ll continue to leverage our technology and operational leadership to build a reliable fleet for the future.”
