Question 1

What is the best alternative to BasiGo in Kenya?

Accepted Answer

If you want an EV leasing bundle in Kenya that includes charging and support, Electric Transits Africa is one of the closest fits. It positions itself as a single monthly rate that can include vehicles, charging infrastructure, maintenance, insurance, and fleet management.

Question 2

What can I use instead of BasiGo in Rwanda?

Accepted Answer

In Rwanda, Kabisa is a strong option because it supports EV sales and leasing plus public charging stations and maintenance in Rwanda. If your focus is two-wheel electrification with battery swapping, Spiro also operates in Rwanda.

Question 3

Which apps are like BasiGo if I need battery swapping operations and analytics?

Accepted Answer

For battery swapping and charging operations management, Stima Boda is the specialist option. It is a Kenya-available B2B platform for real-time battery tracking, swap and charging management, and safety monitoring.

Question 4

Is BasiGo available outside Kenya and Rwanda, and what should I consider instead?

Accepted Answer

BasiGo is currently focused on Kenya and Rwanda, so for other markets you will need an alternative with local coverage. Spiro spans multiple countries including Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda, Benin, and Togo, while Shift EV is available in Egypt for retrofit-led electrification.

Question 5

What does BasiGo cost compared with alternatives?

Accepted Answer

BasiGo uses Pay-As-You-Drive pricing with a reduced upfront deposit and per-kilometre payments, but its exact deposit and per-kilometre rates are not published and vary by country and vehicle model. Alternatives often present pricing differently, for example Electric Transits Africa describes a monthly rate model, while Shift EV promotes retrofits with zero upfront cost in Egypt.

Question 6

Which BasiGo competitor is better if I want shuttle routing plus rider booking and tracking?

Accepted Answer

If your priority is managing shuttles end to end, Swvl is the most direct comparison. It is built for organisations to plan routes, manage fleets, and let riders book, pay, and track trips in real time, and it is available in Kenya and Egypt.

Question 7

How do I switch from BasiGo to a different e-mobility provider?

Accepted Answer

Start by mapping your routes, vehicle needs, and depot charging reality, then shortlist an alternative that operates in your country, such as Kabisa in Rwanda or Electric Transits Africa in Kenya. Ask for a proposal that spells out the commercial model (monthly lease, rent-to-own, swapping) and what support is included, then plan a phased rollout so you can compare uptime and operating cost on a small pilot fleet.
