MojaEV, Caritas partner to drive Kenya’s electric taxi revolution

Kenya’s transition to electric mobility has received a major boost following a partnership between MojaEV Kenya Limited and Caritas Microfinance Bank to provide affordable financing for electric taxi drivers.

The collaboration has seen the handover of six electric taxis to drivers under the MojaEV Leasing Program at the company’s Electric Mobility Centre in Nairobi.

The initiative allows drivers to lease electric vehicles and gradually gain full ownership, offering a practical path toward sustainable transport and financial independence.

MojaEV Sales Director Achieng Anam said the partnership makes electric transport accessible to ordinary Kenyans while supporting the country’s green economy agenda.

“These vehicles represent more than just innovation, they are tools for empowerment, giving drivers the opportunity to own their businesses and contribute to a cleaner planet,” she said.

Caritas Bank’s Head of Retail Banking Martin Kirimi said the bank is committed to supporting Kenya’s shift toward clean energy.

“Our partnership with MojaEV ensures that sustainability and empowerment go hand in hand. Through affordable financing, we are helping more Kenyans join the e-mobility revolution,” he noted.

Gideon Oele, Director of Industry at the Ministry of Industrialization, praised the partnership as a model for aligning private investment with national green goals.

“This is the kind of collaboration that will make Kenya’s e-mobility vision a reality,” he said.

The MojaEV–Caritas partnership forms part of a broader strategy to electrify Kenya’s transport sector by converting taxi, public service, and corporate fleets to electric vehicles, while creating new opportunities in charging, maintenance, and green energy infrastructure.

MojaEV says the program is just the beginning of its plan to expand e-mobility financing and operations across East Africa.
