This comprehensive review delves into Mbay Mobility's pioneering efforts to lead the electric car sector in Senegal and the broader West African region, which is still in the early stages of electric vehicle (EV) adoption.
With a range of about 250 km, these EVs align with the daily requirements of Dakar's taxis, covering an average of 175 km per day. Mbay calculates that electric taxis will yield significant savings—approximately $33 per day—due to lower "fuelling" costs and reduced servicing expenses.
Huib-Jan De Ruijter, Co-Chief Investment Officer at FMO said: “ Through the signing of this flagship project, FMO is delighted to mark its continued commitment to Senegal’s vision for a sustainable energy sector.
Mbay's electric cars boast adaptations for the local context, featuring higher ground clearance for non-paved roads and domestic plug charging to overcome infrastructure constraints. With a range of about 250 km, these EVs align with the daily requirements of Dakar's taxis, covering an average of 175 km per day.
Dakar's roads, dominated by low-quality fossil fuel-consuming vehicles, contribute to 2.2 million tonnes of CO2 emissions annually, with a social cost of $97 million. Mbay emphasizes the urgent need to mitigate these environmental and health impacts.
On completion, the Kolda project will provide essential grid stabilization and ancillary services to Senegal’s utility company, Senelec, in addition to increasing the supply of much-needed clean and affordable electricity to the people and businesses of Senegal, including in the southern region of Casamance ”.
