Why Africa’s Electric Vehicles Are Outsmarting the West

from The Motor Files Podcast · host Chris Clarke

Africa is rewriting the rules of electric vehicles. While the West focuses on luxury EVs, African innovators are solving real-world problems. Take Ampersand in Rwanda—they’ve built electric motorcycles with battery swap stations, making EVs affordable and practical for millions. Or Jet Motors in Nigeria, producing durable, locally assembled electric SUVs and buses. These solutions aren’t just for Africa—they’re a blueprint for the future of global mobility. If you think the future of EVs is only in Silicon Valley, think again. Africa is leading the way.
