Electric Cars for Sale in Nairobi
Mobility For The People

• Electric cars have an almost zero representation
  in Kenya the moment. There are no fully electric
  cars for sale on the car sale websites in Kenya
  and there are none on the KRA CRSP import list
  either. They list hybrids models from Toyota,
  Lexus, Porsche and the rest, but no fully
  electric cars such as the Nissan Leaf, BMW i3,
  Tesla etc. I couldnt even find the regulations
  around the importing of electric cars.
• However, I do know that last year, the Kenya
  Bureau of Standards (KEBS) was developing
  standards for imported electric vehicles and
  motorcycles. Also, recently this year, a new
  fully electric taxi service, Nopia Ride, started
  operation in Kenya. Apparently, there are less
  than a dozen electric vehicles on Kenyan roads
  today. If Nopia Ride can import electric vehicles
  I am sure anyone else can. I am working on
  finding those details out.
• But in the meantime, I wanted to estimate how
  much cheaper an electric car would be to fuel
  compared to a conventionally petrol-powered
  vehicle.

There are numerous factors that come into play
when evaluating the ownership costs of an
electric vehicle purchase price, maintenance
costs, daily running costs, insurances,
warranties, retained value, disposal and a great
deal can be written accessing all these factors
along with considerations for range anxiety,
performance, charging time, battery degradation,
reliable electricity supply, local maintenance
expertise and so on, but in the interest of
keeping this blog short, I want to focus mainly
on the day to day fuel costs for an electric
vehicle compared to a petrol powered vehicle.
Annual distance covered is 15,000 km per year.
Individual electric vehicle range per charge is
not important here, we just want to work out for
the same distance travelled how much it would
cost to power the two types of vehicles. Saying
that though, new electric vehicles, depending on
their battery size, weight and driving style, can
manage between 100 km to 500 km on a single
charge. The table below summarizes the
calculation and results

Looking at some real electric car data, the
"fuel" cost per 100 km of driving for each is
shown in the table below

Some Ground Rules and Assume the following.
Mobility For The People
You can import / own an electric car in Kenya
(thanks KEBS). Purchase and Import costs (duty)
are similar for a comparable conventionally
powered vehicle. Purchase price in the real
world is not the same but its closer than it was
a few years ago. Fuel price is 119.00 KSh / litre
(Super) Electricity price is 22.00 KSh / kWh (as
of October 2018 and excludes fixed / demand
charges) Average fuel consumption for the
petrol-powered vehicle is 10 litres / 100 km.
Depending on driving style and conditions, a
modern petrol-powered small hatchback or a medium
size sedan consumes in the range of 7 to 11
L/100 km and bigger petrol sedans and SUVs are in
the range of 10 to 13 L/100 km so lets pick 10
L/100 km as an average. Battery power range has
been taken as an average of 30 kWh capacity
providing 163 km of range as shown in the graph
below for Electric Car Battery Size vs Range.
Graph is based on data from popular fully
electric cars on the market today (vehicles are
shown in table).

Financing option to buy a pre-owned car
Mobility For The People
It is important that you have good negotiation
skills and bargain with the Best Used Car Dealers
based on the condition and worth of the car you
are purchasing from the dealer. If you are not
going to make all the payments in cash, then you
need a financing option to buy a pre-owned car in
NIROBI. You can opt for a dealer that assists in
financing the car payment. First, you have to get
an application that approves your car financing
offer. However, if you are buying privately from
a second party, then you have to get the loan or
payment financed yourself. The application
process varies from dealer to dealer, and you
select the one that is more flexible and gives
you more buying options.
