Rwanda, are you ready? 🎉🚍
Something exciting is coming your way!
In June, we added 18 new electric intercity coaches to our Rwanda fleet. Today, they are redefining intercity travel, providing cleaner, quieter, and more comfortable rides across the country.
And we are not slowing down…
More coaches are on the way! Our next batch has now shipped and is making its way to Rwanda.
More buses, more intercity routes unlocked, and more communities set to experience clean electric mobility beyond Kigali!
Stay tuned for more details.

Our Managing Director, Jones Kizihira, recently sat down with Sanny Ntayombya on The Long Form Podcast for an open and insightful conversation about the future of e-mobility in Rwanda and across Africa. They explored what it really takes to scale electric public transport, from the economics of running electric buses in Kigali, to the development of local charging infrastructure to support operations.
At BasiGo Rwanda, we believe the shift away from imported fuels is about more than reducing emissions. It’s an opportunity to rethink public transport, reduce the cost of running public transport on bus operators through innovative models like Pay-As-You-Drive, while building a more sustainable transport system for the continent.

🚨NEW EPISODE OUT ON YOUTUBE🚨
The shift to electric mobility is already underway, but for Africa, the conversation goes far beyond simply replacing petrol and diesel cars with electric ones.
In this episode of The Long Form Podcast, I sit down with Jones Kizihira (@joneskizihira ), Managing Director of BasiGo Rwanda (@BasiGoRwanda ), to explore what it would really take for electric mobility to work at scale across the continent.
We get into:
•The lifespan of EV batteries and what happens when they need replacing
•Whether the long-term economics of electric vehicles actually add up
•How Africa can build the charging infrastructure needed for widespread adoption
•Why the transition could be an opportunity to rethink public transport altogether
•whether moving away from imported fuel could leave Africa dependent on imported batteries, technology, and manufacturing instead
Electric mobility presents a huge opportunity, but making it work requires answering some important questions about cost, infrastructure, energy, and Africa’s place in the global EV economy.

“You’re doing 25% of what you would normally spend.” — Jones Kizihira (@joneskizihira ) Managing Director of BasiGo Rwanda
A Kigali–Kayonza return trip could cost around 50,000 RWF in fuel in a regular SUV, compared to roughly 8,000 RWF in an electric vehicle, according to Jones’ example.
In this clip, he breaks down the unit economics behind EVs and why the biggest argument for going electric might simply be how much you save every time you drive. ⚡🚗
