How Tolu Williams Pioneers the Acceleration of Electric Mobility Technology in Africa with Savenhart Technology

In this episode, meet Tolu Williams, the founder of Savenhart Technology a company that is focussed on renewable energy technology and electric powered transportation, selling sell electric bikes and scooters and customising them to meet local road requirements.

When Tolu got into this industry it actually started out as a hobby. Initially he just bought an electric scooter for himself. When people started noticing and showing interest in it, he started to customise vehicles he’d import from China and sell them locally. And so he slowly traded up from one to two, then five, then ten e-bikes and scooters until he was able to fill containers.

In the interview Tolu shares about:

  • How he went from practicing law and working in startup companies to starting his own enterprise
  • Who his customers are and why they buy EV’s from him
  • And how he creates his own line of EV’s by assembling parts from different manufacturers

We also speak about his vision for electric vehicles in Nigeria and so much more.

Since we did the interview with Tolu back in 2019 he has become the Head of E-Mobility at MAX.NG giving him an additional platform to advance E-Mobility and Renewable Energy Solutions in Nigeria.

We hope you enjoy this interview with Tolu Williams as much as we did. And now, without further ado, enter Tolu.
