Africa is rapidly embracing electric mobility, but can electric vehicles really transform how Africans move?
In this episode of The Long Form Podcast, we sit down with Jones Kizihira, Managing Director of BasiGo Rwanda, for a deep conversation about electric buses, EV adoption, public transport and the future of African cities.
We explore why electric buses can be cheaper than diesel over their lifetime yet remain difficult for transport operators to adopt; whether Africa has the charging infrastructure, financing and technical capacity required for mass electrification.
This conversation asks a bigger question: as Africa’s cities grow, should we simply electrify the vehicles we already have—or completely rethink how Africans move, work and live?
