Kenya Expands Electric Vehicle Charging Across All Counties

Electric vehicle (EV) adoption is growing globally, with Kenya seeing a significant rise in licensed electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, surpassing 9,000 in 2025. Kenya faces challenges such as limited charging stations, with just over 100 stations nationwide as of mid-2024, prompting government efforts to expand infrastructure and adhere to global carbon reduction goals. In the U.S., EV drivers prioritize convenience, preferring charging sites close to them with multiple chargers and amenities like WiFi and restrooms, and are willing to pay higher prices to avoid detours. The U.S. EV charging network is expanding, with a 23.3% increase in charging ports in early 2025, reflecting a trend toward stations with more charging ports per location. In the UK, local authorities like Worcestershire County Council are engaging residents through interactive maps to suggest locations for new EV charge points, ensuring those without off-street parking are included in infrastructure planning. These initiatives globally underscore the importance of accessible, reliable, and convenient EV charging infrastructure to support the transition to sustainable transportation.
