Kenya Power has announced a record growth in income from the e-mobility sector with electricity sales surging by over 113% in three years and cumulatively earning KShs.382 in revenue.
The monthly revenue from EVs charging increased from KShs.873,907 in July 2023 to apeak of KShs.35 million in February 2026, underscoring the accelerated adoption of EVs in thecountry.
Nairobi region is leading the uptake of EVs accounting for 71% of the cumulativerevenue,followed by other regions such as Coast, North Eastern and Western Kenya which have demonstrated steady uptake of EVs.
“Our E-mobility Sales Growth Analysis Report (July 2023-April 2026) shows that electricitysalesto the e-mobility sector have grown 113-fold in just under three years, from13,500 kWh(units)inJuly 2023 to over 1.5 million kWh in April 2026.
This is clear evidence that EVs adoptionisnolonger a pilot, but a mainstream reality,” said Kenya Power’s Managing Director andCEO, Dr.(Eng.) Joseph Siror.
He added, “This growth tells us the opportunity is truly national, and our focus must beondiversifying beyond the capital.
This is why we are launching the EV parades today andhavingtheE-mobility Conference and Expo in June.”
The event will provide a platform to advance dialogues around electric mobility policy and supporting infrastructure under the theme Aligning Policy, Infrastructure Development and Partnerships to Scale E-mobility in Kenya.
It will also offer an opportunity to show case innovations and developments that have been made to support electric mobility in Kenya.
Kenya Power attained a historic milestone in November 2025 when it crossed the one million kWh (units) sold to the e-mobility sector in a single month,with volumes staying consistently above this level since then.
The adoption of E-mobility in Kenya is fast gaining momentum with official data indicatinganincrease in the number of registered EVs as well as electricity consumption.
Data from the Electric Mobility Association of Kenya (EMAK) indicates that Kenya had registeredover 35,000EVs by the end of 2025, comprising mostly two-wheelers, up from a total of 796 EVs that had been registered three years ago.
“We expect that EV uptake in Kenya will scale significantly by 2030 when we envision attaining universal access to electricity.
Kenya Power will continue to ride on the goodwill of sustainedpolicy support and enabling tax incentives, such as zero-rating of VAT on EVs and lithium-ion batteries, as well as the reduction of excise duty on electric bicycles,electric motorcycles and lithium-ion batteries to drive the uptake of electric mobility,” said Dr. (Eng.) Siror.
To further create awareness of EVs, as part of this year’s E-mobility Conference,KenyaPower,GIZ Kenya, Electric Mobility Association of Kenya (EMAK) and Kühne Foundation have flagged off EV parades from Nairobi to Mombasa, and Nairobi to Kisumu and back.
The parades will take place this week, starting today, and will also provide an opportunitytoexamine the readiness of the charging infrastructure along these routes and addressrangeanxiety.
During these parades, Kenya Power will also launch its newly established chargingstationslocated at the Company’s offices in Voi and Nyali, Mombasa.
The Company will also flag off ebikes for use by meter readers in Nakuru and Mombasa Island as part of entrenching sustainabletransport in the country.
