Auto-discovered — editorial review pending
BasiGo assembles electric buses, develops charging depots, and uses a pay-as-you-go financing model. This model allows operators to pay for the battery and charge separately from the bus. BasiGo is deploying electric buses across Kenya and Rwanda, combining local assembly with innovative financing to lower upfront costs for operators. The company plans to upgrade its EV charging infrastructure to meet the demands of the growing fleet of public transport buses in Rwanda.
