Several Silicon Valley venture capitalists have communed to raised funds for the Kenyan electric bus company, BasiGo. Novastar Ventures led the streak of investors to close BasiGo’s seed round with a $4.3m deal to accelerate its electric bus deployment in Kenya.

BasiGo seed round will be dedicated to building bus station compatible as a rechargeable technology to renew the power energy BYD Automotive built under a Kenyan moniker. BasiGo’s set to deploy strategic bus stations for its EV products as a commercialized twenty-five-seat electric bus — the Kenyan company leading the Kenyan automotive industry via e-mobility.

BasiGo also set to launch a depot aside from its bus station. The depot is reserved for charging and servicing faulty electric buses, per the thousands of EV BasiGo plans to deploy in Kenya to transform its transportation systems. BasiGo’s electric bus depot is stationed close to the Jomo Kenyatta airport in Nairobi.

Several drive test was done to determine the capability and limit of the BasiGo’s electric bus. The Kenyan e-mobility has recorded accurate test-drive on the electric bus in Kenya’s state capitol, Nairobi.
