The transition to electric mobility is a major opportunity for national power utility companies on the African continent. It’s a major opportunity to increase their revenues as EVs charge up on locally generated electricity. Countries will also benefit from reduced fossil fuel imports, saving them much needed foreign currency.

If you think about the new mobility grid—all the places where two or more things connect across a region—a whole region of these connection points are nodes—like neurons. If you think about that grid, you can think about an electric vehicle grid, but connected to a bus stop, car share, bike share.

Lithium-ion battery recycling took a big step forward this week, as a Hawaiian utility announced it is undertaking one of the biggest examples of grid-storage recycling in North America to date. By electric grid standards, Anahola’s 4-megawatt-hour storage facility is not big. So the idea is, buy it once and keep it here.”

We measure access to electricity no better than we do the rate of literacy. Both are easy to define—a population’s share connected to the national grid or to a local source of electricity, and the ability to read and write—but such definitions do not make it possible to get a truly informed verdict.
