Kenyan electric mobility startup Enzi Mobility has secured a strategic investment totalling US $3.5 million from blockchain-enabled impact investor Kula PCC as it expands its electric vehicle (EV) platform across Kenya, according to industry sources.
The funding comprises approximately US $2 million in equity financing and a further US $1.5 million in blockchain technology infrastructure, which will underpin Enzi Mobility’s future operations and impact mechanics.
Enzi Mobility said the capital injection will catalyse the deployment of its EV-powered two- and three-wheeler fleets for ride-hailing and logistics, while integrating blockchain-based impact-tracking tools and tokenised customer engagement mechanisms.
Bill Schafer, Chief Executive Officer of Enzi Mobility, commented, “Partnering with Kula brings both the capital and the blockchain governance rails we need to accelerate Enzi’s mission. This investment validates our vision of putting motorcycle riders at the centre of clean, affordable and scalable transport solutions.”
Kula describes itself as an impact-investment platform that uses blockchain governance and digital-asset infrastructure to enable transparent, scalable capital allocation and community participation. Through the deal, Enzi Mobility will introduce digital tokens across its operations to enhance rider and customer participation.
The Kenyan mobility firm aims to scale rapidly across urban and peri-urban zones, leveraging the new capital to deepen its vehicle fleet, expand its charging infrastructure network and integrate embedded services for drivers. Analysts say the deal signals a growing convergence of climate tech, mobility and blockchain in Africa’s burgeoning EV ecosystem.
