In the dynamic world of startups, JéGO stands out as a beacon of innovation and determination, set to revolutionise Africa’s energy landscape. This is the story of JéGO, a pioneering startup dedicated to building electric vehicles and crafting a sustainable future.
JéGO’s founder/CEO, Frederick Kevbe Akpoghene, didn’t conceive the company in a sterile boardroom; his passion for cars and technology fueled its inception. He saw beyond the thrill of the ride, imagining colossal battery packs as lifelines not just for electric vehicles but for entire communities grappling with energy scarcity. This dream propelled him into the realm of autonomous electric vehicles (EVs), where JéGO’s creations transport people efficiently and distribute energy and essential resources across Africa.
JéGO’s mission remains unequivocal: to harness the power of technology and create clean, sustainable energy solutions. They focus on developing modular clean energy systems capable of powering homes, businesses, and electric vehicles. This dual approach combats the current energy crisis while paving the way for a greener future.
Africa faces an undeniable energy challenge, with millions living in darkness due to a lack of electricity. Despite the abundance of fossil fuels, the continent’s path to a sustainable future lies elsewhere. JéGO’s solutions align perfectly with Africa’s urgent need for clean energy.
Renewable energy continues to rise in Africa, with solar power leading the charge thanks to decreasing costs and progressive government initiatives. JéGO stands poised to bridge the energy gap, providing clean, reliable power to millions of Africans.
A significant partnership with Coscharis Technologies Limited exemplifies JéGO’s commitment to making a difference, “Joining forces with Coscharis Technologies is a milestone that reflects the firm’s commitment to providing modular, clean, reliable, and affordable energy”, says Frederick. Together, they aim to distribute portable energy systems globally throughout Africa and underserved communities. This collaboration will empower thousands with dependable power and boost the region’s electric vehicle market.
JéGO’s remarkable team brings unique expertise from leading companies such as Apple, Microsoft, Tesla, Meta, and the public sector. This collective experience drives JéGO’s innovative approach to energy solutions.
JéGO doesn’t just create prototypes; it establishes sales, distribution partners, and leasing options, underscoring its ability to deliver real value. Its vision stretches beyond the showroom floor. By leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI), JéGO builds more innovative solutions. AI systems continuously monitor energy consumption and production, optimising renewable resource usage for maximum efficiency and cost savings.
JéGO’s autonomous EVs, equipped with advanced AI algorithms, transform into mobile energy distribution units—a game-changer for remote areas. AI also predicts energy demand, manages grid loads, and optimises deploying JéGO’s clean energy systems, resulting in a more resilient and adaptable energy infrastructure for Africa.
According to Oswald Osaretin Guobadia, a director at JéGO, “the African market is poised for astronomical growth. To enable this, we must focus on the hard problems, of which energy is paramount. JéGO was founded to create an energy ecosystem that addresses mobility and home life.”
JéGO understands that EVs alone won’t solve the energy crisis. Their large battery packs, usable for emergency power backup and other critical applications, set them apart from competitors solely focused on transportation. JéGO symbolises energy on the go. Owning a JéGO PowerPod or electric vehicle means embracing progress and innovation.
JéGO is more than a startup; it’s a movement advocating for a sustainable future. In Wolof, a Senegalese language, JéGO means “big step or progression.” Their passion, innovation, and strategic partnerships fuel their journey.
