Africa’s electric vehicle (EV) leader, Spiro, has taken a bold step in merging sustainable tech with entertainment by partnering with Afrobeats megastar Davido. This collaboration aims to accelerate the adoption of clean energy and electric mobility across Africa, while leveraging Davido’s cultural and global influence.
Clean Energy Meets Afrobeats Stardom
Spiro’s mission to revolutionize transportation aligns seamlessly with Davido’s ethos of uplifting communities. Known for chart-topping hits like Unavailable and Assurance, Davido shared his excitement about championing the electric revolution. “Switching to electric is not just cool—it’s smart,” Davido said. “It saves money, protects the planet, and brings a fresh vibe to Africa. I’m proud to use my platform to inspire real change.”
Spiro CEO Kaushik Burman highlighted the strategic importance of this partnership, describing Davido as the epitome of African excellence. “His innovation and global reach mirror Spiro’s vision of reshaping mobility in Africa. Together, we aim to inspire millions to join the clean energy movement,” Burman said.
Spiro’s Game-Changing EV Tech
Spiro’s leadership in Africa’s EV market is driven by innovation. The company has deployed over 22,000 electric bikes and achieved more than 300 million kilometers of emission-free travel across Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, and Rwanda. Its unique battery-swapping technology ensures that riders can easily exchange batteries at designated stations, removing the barriers of long charging times and range anxiety.
Tech Meets Culture in Davido’s Upcoming Album
This partnership comes as Davido gears up for the release of his highly anticipated album, 5IVE, set to drop in early 2025. To maximize impact, Davido’s creative director, Kayode “Tycoone” Umardeen, will collaborate with Spiro to craft campaigns that blend cutting-edge technology with cultural storytelling.
From clean energy advocacy to integrating innovation into music and culture, this collaboration is more than a partnership—it’s a movement. Spiro and Davido are not just electrifying roads; they’re electrifying minds, proving that the future of tech in Africa is deeply intertwined with its rich cultural tapestry.
