Are Kenya’s new boda-bodas showing the world how it’s done? The global EV industry has been built so far around battery ownership. As Professors at UCLA and London Business School explain in Forbes, early attempts to build battery swapping infrastructure were unsuccessful, but are now making a comeback worldwide. Why? 3 good reasons: time, money, planet. EV charging is inconvenient for many people, particularly those living in urban areas without easy access to home chargers. For those who need to charge on the road, long wait times at charging stations are a major barrier. With people so used to the speed of fuelling up with petrol, a slow charge is a turn-off for prospective customers. Battery-swapping brings down the initial cost of adopting an EV. The option to purchase the vehicle body and lease the battery pack dramatically brings down the upfront cost and makes electric accessible to a much bigger market. Batteries in a swap system can be charged slower, which can extend battery lifespan and reduce electronic waste. By charging batteries during off-peak hours, swap stations can reduce energy demand during peak periods and send energy back to the local grid when it’s needed. We know firsthand that Nairobi’s boda drivers love battery swapping, because they have no time to wait to run their business. EV customers around the world are no different. And with the scale of EV adoption we need to hit global climate targets, the planet doesn’t have time to wait either. Will battery swapping take off in the world’s biggest EV markets?

Imagine a future where your entire roof generates clean energy! Last week, our team had an insightful training session hosted by our partners Takazuri Ltd makers of the Climatile™ and got hands-on experience with the Climatile, a revolutionary building solution. Made from recycled polymer, these lightweight, aesthetic tiles feature an interlocking design that makes installation seamless. You just snap them in place and have a durable, sustainable roofing solution. Another advantage is the ability to seamlessly integrate the Climatile with solar panels, which is where we come in. This is a natural extension of our mission to provide sustainable and impactful energy solutions. Combining Climatile with solar integration is a step toward smarter, more resilient and energy efficient infrastructure. Would you consider solar-integrated roofing for your home or building projects? Let’s discuss in the comments!

Money, traffic, deliveries... 🫠 Boda riders have enough to worry about. That’s why we designed our tech to be easy to use and hassle-free. At Powerhive, Christopher Hornor and our team developed the battery swapping platform with extensive customer feedback to make it intuitive and smooth. We also wanted to make sure it goes further than our customers expect. Every payment for a fresh battery at our swap station comes with life and hospitalization insurance, thanks to our partners Turaco 🤝 Reliable power. Extra protection. Zero worries. 🙌 What's your favourite example of new technology made easy to use?

Let’s talk numbers. An electric bodaboda slashes operational costs by up to 50% compared to fuel bikes. Imagine what that means over months, even years! Now multiply that by thousands of riders. More savings = more money in their pockets, more stability for families, and more opportunities for growth. So here’s the real question: If clean energy is the future, why wait to make the switch? 👇 What’s stopping more riders from going electric?

Why buy an electric vehicle now when you can buy one later with a better battery? This is a common problem for EV customers all over the world. Our solution is to take away the risk of being an early adopter. By building out an extensive battery swapping network, our customers get the benefit of battery improvements as they arrive, as well as a fixed price for unlimited daily travel. New ventures rely on customers who have the same spirit of innovation as entrepreneurs. We should reward customers who take the leap with new technology, not punish them. What other businesses do you know are making life easy for customers to take the first step with a new technology? #Powerhive #SparkElectricMotorcycles #EVBatteries #EVCharging #NewTechnology #SparkBikeSeries
