Kenya Power has generated KSh 190 million, equivalent to US$1.4 million, from electric vehicle charging stations in 2025, reflecting a 188 percent increase from the KSh 64.8 million recorded the previous year.
The revenue growth was driven by rising electricity demand from Kenya’s expanding electric mobility sector. The utility reported that electricity consumption by EV users rose from 2.9 million units in 2024 to more than 8.4 million units in 2025. Kenya currently has over 35,000 registered electric vehicles, most of them motorcycles widely known as boda bodas.
The surge follows the launch of the National Electric Mobility Policy, which aims to reduce the country’s US$5 billion annual petroleum import bill while leveraging a national grid that is already 90 percent renewable.
Kenya Power also secured the introduction of a special e mobility tariff approved by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority in March 2023. Under the tariff, 205 customers pay KSh 16 per unit during peak hours and KSh 8 per unit during off peak periods.
The company has installed five EV chargers in Nairobi and is expanding infrastructure to towns including Voi, Mombasa, Nyeri, Nakuru and Eldoret to support continued growth in clean transport.
