The Kenya Power and Lighting Company Board Chairperson, Joy Masinde, has lauded the ongoing corporate efforts by local motor dealers to introduce Electric Vehicles and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) in the local market.
Speaking during a test-drive experience in the new BYD SHARK 6, a PHEV pickup truck, introduced in Kenya by Loxea Kenya, the Kenya Power Chairperson reiterated the power distributor’s commitment to enhancing access to electric vehicle charging infrastructure countrywide.
Kenya Power, she said, is focused on decarbonising the grid through a strategic commitment to climate action by enabling the electric-mobility agenda.
“I enjoyed my drive on the BYD Shark 6 this morning, which has impressive road handling and mind-blowing features at a very competitive price,” Masinde said.
“At Kenya Power, we are working very hard to power a sustainable future for Kenya through electric mobility and the introduction of EVs and Hybrid vehicles by firms such as Loxea Kenya, which fits very well in our strategy.”
Loxea Kenya, a subsidiary of CFAO Mobility Kenya, recently introduced the fast-selling BYD SHARK 6, which is proving to be a popular customer choice as charging and after-sales service infrastructure continues to grow countrywide.
