Africa's electric mobility transition is not happening the way most headlines suggest. It's not just about importing new EVs — it's about converting existing vehicles, building local systems, and using data to make mobility work.

In this episode of The Africa EV Show, Arnold Mwangakala, founder of Smart Haven Tanzania, breaks down how lessons from China's EV ecosystem, from supply chains to battery systems, can be adapted to not only Tanzania but African realities.

We explore:

  • Why EV conversion (motorcycles & three-wheelers) is leading adoption
  • How battery swapping is solving range and charging challenges
  • The role of IoT and data in financing and scaling EV businesses
  • Lessons from China's manufacturing and supply chain dominance
  • What it will take for Africa to build its own EV ecosystem

This is a must-watch for anyone interested in electric vehicles, Africa's energy transition, and the future of mobility. Also, subscribe, like, and share for more insights on Africa's EV and energy transition.
