David Alnwyck, Kenya’s first public user of the country’s electric vehicle charging station located at Stima Plaza, has attested to the quality of the charging station.
The expatriate resident in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, owns a fully electric vehicle with a range of 250 kilometres.
He was the first person to have visited the station to charge his EV.
In a post, Kenya Power wrote: Mr David Alnwyck was the first public user of our electric vehicle (EV) charging station located at Stima Plaza, Parklands.
“During his second visit to use the EV charger last Friday, Mr Alnwyck, who owns a fully electric vehicle with a range of 250km, said the charger is one of the best in the country,” the post said.
Last month, Kenya Power inaugurated two EV charging stations–one at Stima Plaza, Parklands and the other at Ruaraka depot.
The company announced that it would be spending about Kshs258 million to install EV charging stations across the country in three years.
The company said an RFID card for charging would be required and could be obtained at the Kenya Power security desk at Stima Plaza and Ruaraka depot.
