At Africa E-Mobility Week 2025, Damien Gueroult, Country Manager, Watu Uganda, joined industry leaders to discuss one of the biggest questions shaping Africa’s EV journey: how do we make electric two-wheelers affordable and accessible for all? The discussion explored how financing plays a critical role in overcoming upfront cost barriers and how innovative models like pay-as-you-go and Battery-as-a-Service are unlocking access for low-income earners. Damien shared, “True affordability goes beyond cost. It is about access, policy, and partnerships that connect financing, technology, and infrastructure.” With growing momentum across the continent and global recognition of transport as central to climate goals, financiers play an essential role in bridging the gap between innovation and inclusion.
