About this project

BasiGo Limited (BasiGo) is a limited liability company incorporated in Kenya in December 2017 that will deploy electric buses in Kenya, starting first in Nairobi. BasiGo’s model is to bring the upfront cost of the eBus to be comparable with the equivalent diesel bus. It does this by selling the eBus without the battery. The battery is subsequently leased to the purchaser via a “Pay-As-You-Drive” subscription to owners that covers rental of the battery, charging and maintenance.
