BasiGo and Rubis Energy Kenya have partnered to deploy fast-charging stations along Kenya's inter-city transport corridors, with the first site operational at Athi River and three more planned for July 2026. The stations support commercial electric vehicles with 100kW CCS2 and GB/T chargers.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you make commercial EV charging hardware or fleet telematics for Africa, legacy fuel retailers are now your distribution partners—and they're moving fast. Rubis has 500+ stations across East Africa; BasiGo's success here forces every other fuel major in the region to choose: build charging or lose fleet customers.
