EVChaja

What EVChaja does

EVChaja operates Kenya's first network of electric vehicle charging stations, founded in 2020 and headquartered in Nairobi at Mpaka Road, Madonna House. The company deploys 22kW fast chargers across public, residential, and commercial sites and offers a multi-channel access platform consisting of a proprietary mobile application (available on iOS and Android), RFID card authentication, QR-code session activation, and a cloud-based fleet management backend. Its service portfolio spans Charging on the Go (public fast charging), Home Charging (residential 22kW installations including apartment solutions), and Business Solutions covering Fleet Charging, Office Charging, and Business/Commercial Charging.

The business generates revenue across five streams: hardware sales of Wallbox-branded chargers (Pulsar Plus, Copper SB, Quasar, Supernova), subscription memberships (Pulse Card), pay-as-you-go charging fees, installation services starting from 25,000 Kenyan Shillings, and managed fleet services with per-vehicle energy and cost analytics. Distribution is hybrid — direct enterprise sales for business installations, self-serve mobile app onboarding for individual drivers, and guest/RFID access for users without smartphones. As of the latest disclosures, public on-the-go charging is currently free with pricing to be announced, indicating the consumer network is still in market-building mode.

EVChaja serves a diversified customer base including individual EV owners, fleet operators, commercial property owners, residential homeowners, and corporate/development partners. Named enterprise reference clients include NCBA Group, Standard Media, Kenya Airways, and the German development agency GIZ. Operating as a lean private entity with a 1–10 person team and no disclosed funding, the company's execution capacity remains constrained relative to its multi-segment ambitions across Kenya and the broader East African region.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Allego: Allego operates a pan-European public and semi-public charging network with a mix of owned and partner locations, app-based access, and subscription offerings. Its hub-and-spoke network rollout and multi-country scaling approach is analogous to EVChaja's model as it expands within and beyond Kenya.
• ChargePoint: ChargePoint operates one of the largest EV charging networks globally with a software-led, app- and RFID-based access model similar to EVChaja. It targets drivers, workplaces, and fleets, and serves as the closest functional analog to EVChaja's platform play, although at vastly larger scale and in mature markets.
• Blink Charging: Blink Charging owns and operates EV charging equipment and networks serving retail, workplace, multifamily, and fleet customers. Its combination of owned-network operations, hardware sales, and subscription/usage-based revenue mirrors EVChaja's diversified revenue model.
• EVgo: EVgo is a US-based public fast-charging network operator with DC fast chargers and an app-based customer experience. Like EVChaja, it focuses on public on-the-go charging and is dependent on third-party EV adoption, making its network economics directly comparable to EVChaja's emerging public charging business.

Broad incumbents

• Electrify America: Electrify America is a large US public fast-charging network with app-based access, subscription plans, and enterprise fleet services. It is comparable as a broad incumbent in the public charging space and illustrates the scale of capital and operations required to build out fast-charging infrastructure.
• Tesla Supercharger: Tesla operates the largest proprietary DC fast-charging network globally. While not open to all EVs in all markets, it represents the benchmark for branded, vertically integrated charging networks that EVChaja aspires to replicate at a regional scale in East Africa.
• Wallbox: Wallbox is EVChaja's core hardware partner, supplying the Pulsar Plus, Copper SB, Quasar, and Supernova chargers. While it is also a competitor in the broader EV charging space, its primary role is as a global charging hardware and energy management provider, making it a broad incumbent rather than a direct network rival in Kenya.

Emerging players

• Driivz: Driivz provides EV charging and energy management software (CPMS) for charge point operators and utilities. It represents the software layer that EVChaja's app and backend currently delivers in-house, and is a relevant comparable if EVChaja chooses to license or partner for its management platform at scale.
• GreenFlux: GreenFlux is a European EV charging software platform offering roaming, billing, and smart-charging services to charge point operators. Its focus on backend services for smaller networks makes it an emerging-player comparable to the software stack EVChaja operates.

Others

• Ensto Chago: Ensto Chago provides EV charging infrastructure, services, and software to operators and property owners in Northern Europe. It is comparable as an ecosystem participant offering integrated charging-as-a-service solutions similar to the managed services EVChaja sells to its enterprise and fleet customers.
