VW eGolf Experience in Kenya, Africa where a whopping 93% of electricity generation is from renewable energy sources

This is a really interesting story of a practical experience of an owner having to import his own EV and how he did, and what it cost to import and operate.

Kenya is just perfect for electric vehicles. Kenya has really excelled in increasing the share of renewable energy in its electricity generation mix. A whopping 93% of electricity generation in Kenya is from renewable energy sources. This mix includes significant contributions from wind farms, geothermal power plants, hydropower, and some utility-scale solar. In meeting its renewable energy generation targets, Kenya has found itself in an interesting position where the country has excess capacity at times, especially at night when demand drops significantly.
