Kenyan electric vehicle (EV) company Roam Motors has opened a fast-charging station for light vehicles in Nairobi that allows electric motorbike operators to charge their 80-kilometre-range batteries to full capacity in 20 minutes.

The 6.6-kilowatt direct current (DC) station has open-charge standards, making it interoperable across two-wheelers, tuk-tuks, and light passenger cars, regardless of the manufacturer.
