There is no doubt that switching to Electrical vehicles is the future of automobile existence. Compared to the standard fuel options, electric vehicles have much lesser carbon emissions. Kenya has initiated its journey on the electrical vehicle track, although in the early stages. It has launched tuk-tuks, taxis, and electrically operated motorbikes.  The Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) is another Kenyan step in the electronic vehicle journey. The initial sales volumes are rising rapidly with the introduction of electronic vehicles. More importantly, car producers are shifting from the stand fuel-based engines, also known as internal combustion engines (ICE). The purpose is the protection of shares in the market considering the high demand for Electronic Vehicles.  As per the prediction figures, in the year 2030, approximately 60 percent of the total vehicles are expected to be electronic vehicles (EV, s).

The major BRT project launched by the government is expected to improve efficiency and reduce traffic congestion. However, certain negative factors have negatively impacted the public projects of the Kenyan government in the past. Therefore, protecting the BRT project from these adverse constituents is integral. The key point is that oil and gas companies will have to re-engineer their business models since the supply will be reduced. In addition to that, EV vehicles will have to be charged by owners at their residences. In addition to that, there will be charging stations at designated places where car owners would be able to take their vehicles. Lastly, the manufacturing and production of electronic batteries would be a key part of the supply chain process.

The primary usage of EVs will require the treasury department to make necessary modifications to its business model. Since there would be no tax-based earnings from oil consumption, the EV model would have to be modified to attain similar results. Some time back, Kenya had missed a chance to electrify the railway station when SGR was switching to diesel. However, this can be done in the current transition to electric-based transportation.

The shift of the aviation industry to electric-based transportation is expected to be a lengthier process than other vehicle modes, although the initial steps have been taken. Test battery-based flights are being tested to check electronic aviation. Currently, battery-based air crafts can fly to 700 kilometers, but longer flights are still a “work in progress.” However, the Kenyan infrastructure will have to undergo several changes to switch to EVs shortly completely.
