What is the SAME Report?
The investment-grade intelligence report on African e-mobility. 15 markets. Founder-validated data. Built for capital allocators, operators, and policymakers.
The African mobility ecosystem has been moving fast. Capital is flowing in. Operators are scaling. Policy frameworks are shifting. But the data has not kept up:
- Investors have been making decisions based on fragmented information.
- Operators have been fundraising without a credible market baseline.
- Policymakers have been setting targets without knowing what the private sector has already built.
The State of the African Mobility Ecosystem 2025 is the report that addresses that.
It is an independently produced, investment-grade intelligence report dedicated entirely to African e-mobility. Built on primary research, supported by public findings. Validated directly with founders. Covering 15 markets across East, West, Southern, and North Africa.
It is an annual working tool for anyone who needs to understand this ecosystem at the level it deserves.
African mobility is moving, this is the full picture.
Five areas of focus, one complete picture.
Technology and Infrastructure
This section goes beyond marketing claims. It covers charging infrastructure deployment by country, grid readiness by market, and the question the whole industry is watching: battery swapping versus onboard charging, and which model is winning and where.
Policy and Regulatory Environment
Fifteen markets. Three tiers of regulatory maturity. One clear finding: the gap between policy ambition and execution is the defining investment risk in African e-mobility.
This section analyses every significant policy framework across the continent. Fiscal incentives. Import duty structures. National targets. Regulatory bodies. Enforcement realities. For investors, it answers the question that matters most: where is it safe to deploy, and where is the risk still too high?
Market Intelligence and Ecosystem Mapping
This section maps the entire African mobility ecosystem, from manufacturers and charging operators to financing providers and technology suppliers. It includes the market sizing work that operators and investors need: addressable market by country, by vehicle category, with growth projections through 2030.
Top 50 African Mobility Companies
A dedicated section on the 50 highest-performing African mobility companies, assessed by a 15-person expert panel across a 300-point scoring methodology from a pool of over 400 applicants.
Company profiles, competitive positioning, and the data behind why each company earned its place. The definitive ranking of the African mobility ecosystem.
Investment Landscape
This is the section is a capital allocators insight into the investments data and future trends.
Where has the money gone? Who deployed it? What structures did they use? What does profitability look like at scale? Capital efficiency benchmarks. Funding stage analysis. DFI participation trends. Exit pathway mapping. Geographic allocation across all four African regions. Founder-validated data, not estimates.
Using data to make ecosystem-wide decisions
African e-mobility has attracted serious capital and produced proven operators. But a persistent problem has held the ecosystem back from its potential. Data quality is improving and needs deeper consolidation. Conflicting deployment estimates, unverified technology claims, funding figures that vary by hundreds of millions depending on the source. Investors increasing transaction costs because due diligence takes longer without a reliable baseline. Founders losing credibility in rooms they should own.
The ecosystem lacks the intelligence layer that every mature market takes for granted. This report aims to become that data intelligence layer.
For investors, it reduces the information cost of deploying capital into African markets. Every benchmark in the report is one fewer thing to verify from scratch in a due diligence process.
For operators, it provides market context that makes fundraising conversations sharper and more credible. Knowing where your company sits in a validated landscape is a competitive advantage.
For policymakers and development partners, it provides the evidence base that policy decisions deserve. Fifteen markets. Cross-border comparisons. Data on what actually works.
For the ecosystem, it signals that the sector has the institutional maturity to produce investment-grade intelligence. That capital allocators outside of Africa can engage with this market on the same terms they use everywhere else.
