Electric mobility is quietly transforming Africa’s tourism sector and Kigali, Rwanda, is emerging as a leading case study.
In this episode of The Africa EV Show, we speak with Edwidge Cyuzuzo, COO of Izuba EVs, about how her company is using Chinese electric vehicles to power a new model of green tourism. From dramatically lower operating costs to reduced dependence on imported fuel, EVs are reshaping how tour businesses operate in landlocked economies like Rwanda.
We explore:
Why EVs are more cost-effective than petrol vehicles in Rwanda
How Chinese brands like BYD are enabling early adoption
The real-world charging experience in Kigali
Business models for EV tourism and fleet operations
The role of partnerships in scaling electric mobility
Key challenges include infrastructure and regional expansion
With fuel prices volatile and logistics complex across Africa, electric vehicles offer a compelling alternative — not just for sustainability, but for economic resilience.
Is this the future of tourism in Africa? Can EV adoption unlock broader industrial and energy transformation across the continent?
Watch now to understand how electric mobility is moving from theory to reality in one of Africa’s most forward-looking cities.
