As part of our service to society and creating bankable communities, Etinpower has provided the people of Evbuwa community with an electric tricycle to aid movement of farmers and agro produce.

Citing the current economic hardship, the biting fuel and diesel prices, we have made a move to minimize these pains by providing these farmers with a far more affordable, viable alternative. This electric-powered vehicle will have a spare, easily replaceable battery to avoid the need to wait while charging during active hours of the day. In cases of a battery run down, the spare battery will be used to replace the drained battery in the vehicle and both charged at night when the vehicle is not in use. From the size calculations, one battery was enough to cover the distance of riding around the community. The spare battery was provided for possible, worst-case scenarios.

The people have gladly welcomed this initiative and lots of them have already shown interest in learning about e-vehicle systems: battery systems, charge levels, etc.

Our first visit to the community with the vehicle was presenting it to them, teaching them about E-vehicles, how they operate. We also taught them how to drive and maintain the vehicle for optimal performance and lasting usage.

This is just one of our many initiatives planned at bringing development through Productive Use of Equipment (PUE) with many more underway. We are not stopping at electrifying community households only, we are also boosting economic activity and productivity, bridging the gap so businesses can thrive and scale excellently.
