Building African businesses takes more than new products; it requires navigating complex systems. From infrastructure and regulation to capital and talent, this is the operational reality of building mobility at scale.

Spiro and Entrepreneurial Solutions Partners (ESP) are proud to launch the Women in E-Mobility programme, an initiative designed to empower 5,000 women across Africa through access to electric mobility, entrepreneurship support and economic opportunity. #WomenInEMobility
Starting in Rwanda, the pilot will support 500 women, equipping participants with the skills, tools and access they need to build sustainable income-generating activities in the fast-growing e-mobility sector. #WomenInEMobility
Behind every Spiro journey is a community that keeps showing up.
This #CustomerServiceWeek, we appreciate everyone who goes the extra mile with us.

YADEA is pleased to partner with @SPIROEVs to advance electric mobility across Africa.
Together, we bring YADEA’s global manufacturing and technology capabilities and Spiro’s battery-swapping network and local expertise to this shared ambition.
The energy regulator has capped power prices for electric vehicles (EVs) in fresh efforts to lower costs and boost e-mobility adoption amid the global fuel crisis. Epra has allowed charging stations to charge the special tariff beyond the monthly consumption limit of 15,000 kilowatt-hours (KhW).

It took @SPIROEVs 3 years to reach $100K/day in battery-swap energy revenue. Less than 200 days later, we doubled it.
Last month: $200K/day.
Proud of our teams, riders, customers and partners across Africa who make this momentum real every day.
The story continues...
