In der neuen Podcast-Folge spreche ich mit Stefan Heimlich, einem profunden Kenner der Elektromobilität. Stefan bringt nicht nur jahrzehntelange Branchenerfahrung mit, sondern war zuletzt in mehreren afrikanischen Ländern unterwegs und hat dort Entwicklungen gesehen, die in Deutschland viele überraschen dürften. Zu Beginn steigen wir direkt in das Thema Technologieoffenheit ein – ein Begriff, der in Deutschland gerne als Lösung für alle Probleme genutzt wird. Stefan ordnet das differenziert ein und macht deutlich, dass es stark auf das Segment ankommt. Besonders klar wird es im Kleinwagensegment: Hyundai verabschiedet 2026 den i10 und ersetzt ihn durch den rein elektrischen Inster. Für Stefan ist das ein Beispiel dafür, dass „Technologieoffenheit im Kleinwagensegment überhaupt keinen Sinn macht“, weil parallele Antriebsentwicklungen wirtschaftlich schlicht nicht tragbar sind. Premiumsegmente könnten das eventuell noch eine Zeit lang leisten, aber dort endet es für ihn auch schon. Spannend wird es, als Stefan seine Eindrücke aus Afrika teilt. Ein Kontinent, der oft unterschätzt wird, aber enorme Dynamik entwickelt. Von Marokko über Ägypten bis Kenia und Südafrika zeichnet er ein Bild von Ländern, die sich längst auf den Weg zur Elektromobilität gemacht haben – aus ökonomischen Gründen, aus industriepolitischen Motiven und aus gesellschaftlichem Druck einer jungen, gut ausgebildeten Bevölkerung. Marokko baut bereits Batteriefertigung und Ladeinfrastruktur auf, Ägypten hat klare Elektrifizierungsziele für 2040, und Äthiopien hat den Import von Verbrennern bereits seit 2024 verboten. Viele asiatische Player sind dort aktiv, Stellantis ebenso. Deutsche Hersteller spielen preislich kaum eine Rolle. Dabei kommt ein entscheidender Vorteil ins Spiel: erneuerbare Energien. Stefan beschreibt, wie Solar, Wind und vor allem Geothermie den Strom in vielen Ländern unschlagbar günstig machen. In Kenia stammen schon rund 90 Prozent der Energie aus diesen Quellen. Elektrische Motorräder – sogenannte Boda Bodas – dominieren dort inzwischen das Straßenbild, weil sie deutlich günstiger im Betrieb sind. Stefan berichtet: „Die kriegen das Grinsen gar nicht mehr aus dem Gesicht, weil sie schlicht mehr verdienen.“ Dass Elektromobilität dort funktioniert, liegt aber auch an der Infrastruktur. Nairobi, Mombasa oder Addis Abeba bauen Ladepunkte kontinuierlich aus – und das oft pragmatischer als wir es aus Europa kennen. In ländlichen Regionen lösen Solar-Kits teure Netzanschlüsse ab. Motorräder und Tuk-Tuks werden schnell elektrifiziert, Matatus – die typischen Shuttlebusse – folgen bereits, unterstützt durch neue Fertigungsstätten vor Ort. Mindestens genauso beeindruckend ist, wie weit viele afrikanische Länder bei digitalen Services sind. Stefan erklärt, dass man dort seit 20 Jahren mit M-Pesa bezahlt – lange bevor Smartphones überhaupt verfügbar waren. Bargeld ist kaum noch relevant, Behördengänge laufen digital und deutlich effizienter als hierzulande. Für ihn ist das dritte große Momentum der Mobilitätswende: Energie, elektrische Antriebe und Digitalisierung greifen ineinander. Nigeria, eigentlich bekannt als Erdölnation, schlägt inzwischen eine ähnliche Richtung ein. Die Regierung will elektrische Antriebe fördern, um Luftqualität zu verbessern und lokale Produktion aufzubauen. Hersteller wie Gogo Electric aus Uganda expandieren dorthin und eröffnen neue Werke. Dass E-Autos auch im Alltag funktionieren, zeigt Stefans Beispiel eines Uber-Fahrers in Nairobi im MG4, der ihm sagte: „Der fährt einfach, ist günstiger im Unterhalt – und im städtischen Sprint bin ich immer vorne.“ Am Ende bleibt eine klare Botschaft: Während in Europa oft noch diskutiert wird, entscheiden sich andere Regionen längst praktisch. Märkte für Verbrenner schrumpfen weltweit, und der Preisvorteil elektrischer Modelle wird immer deutlicher. Stefan bringt es mit seinem Appell zum Schluss auf den Punkt: „Diesen Pragmatismus täte uns in Deutschland auch gut.“ Nun aber genug de

Les matatus sont devenus un symbole des rues de Nairobi. Les matatus, ce sont des bus privés de transport en commun bon marché, très populaires au Kenya. Étant très utilisés par les jeunes, ils déroulent une bande-son choisie et ils représentent une opportunité pour les DJ de promouvoir leurs mix musicaux.  De notre correspondante à Nairobi,De la musique qui s'échappe des matatus et des conducteurs qui ameutent les passants, le terminal de bus du centre-ville de Nairobi est animé. Déjà à bord d'un matatu, Brian attend qu'il se remplisse pour partir. Direction le bidonville de Kibera pour ce jeune de 23 ans :« C'est un moyen de transport que je trouve cool. Grâce à la musique et aux télévisions que l'on y trouve, ça permet de se détendre après une journée de travail. Que ce soit du hip-hop, de l'afrobeat, du reggae ou de la pop, j'adore la musique qui y est diffusée. »À lire aussiCentrafrique: dans les bus, les conducteurs diffusent des spectacles d'humour [2/4]Les playlists diffusées en continu ne sont pas choisies au hasard. C'est ce qu'explique David Kassano, au volant de son matatu. « Je passe tous les genres musicaux, en fonction de l'heure de la journée ou de l'ambiance des passagers, explique le conducteur. Je commence toujours par du gospel. L'après-midi, les passagers ont besoin de se détendre, donc je mets de la musique qui divertit, comme le dancehall. Le soir, selon mon humeur, je mets du reggae ou de la rumba. Le dernier trajet de la journée, je remets du gospel. On commence la journée avec Dieu et on la finit avec Dieu ! »À lire aussiLes capitales africaines veulent rouler à l'électriqueDes mix achetés quelques centimes d'euros qui ne font pas la fortune des DJDavid Kassano dit changer ses playlists chaque semaine et les acheter pour quelques centimes d'euros auprès de DJ de la capitale. Les habitués des matatus connaissent bien leurs noms. Parmi les plus populaires : DJ Demakufu, de son vrai nom Martin Owaka. Il a commencé il y a plus de dix ans en diffusant ses mix dans les bus. Dans son studio du centre-ville, il raconte ses débuts : « Les deux premiers mix ont eu un succès fou sur une route. Deux, trois mois plus tard, j'ai commencé à entendre mes mix sur de plus en plus d'itinéraires et c'est comme ça que le nom Demakufu est devenu populaire. Un matatu transporte une quarantaine de personnes par trajet. C'est un bon moyen de se faire un nom. »Pourtant, Demakufu le reconnaît, cette popularité ne se traduit pas toujours par des revenus : « J'ai eu du mal à convertir le nom Demakufu en véritable business. Je me rappelle qu'à l'époque, je peinais à obtenir 25 euros par mois, mais quand je sortais, les gens m'interpellaient, ils pensaient que j'étais riche. » Cette image est fausse, explique-t-il : « Ces personnes pensent que nous gagnons de l'argent avec nos mix. Ce n'est pas le cas. Elles servent à nous faire un nom dans l'espoir d'obtenir des contrats par la suite. Mais le défi est là, réussir à en tirer profit financièrement. » Aujourd'hui, Demakufu a un contrat régulier dans une radio de divertissement kényane. Il a aussi lancé sa propre académie de DJ. Dans le but, dit-il, d'assurer la relève.À lire aussiKenya: les Buruklyn Boyz, le groupe qui enflamme la scène musicale drill et séduit la jeunesse

ShutterstockTerrible vehicle traffic makes Kenya’s capital city Nairobi one of the most congested in the world. It also brings air pollution which comes with serious health effects, including premature deaths and asthma. People who spend a lot of time on traffic-heavy roads are particularly at risk. In this episode of the Pasha podcast, The Conversation Africa’s Thabo Leshilo spoke to Haneen Khreis about car-free days and how the idea might work in Nairobi. Car-free days can help lessen the air pollution problem, bring down the number of deaths in car accidents and reduce noise. The initiative is already being successfully rolled out in Rwanda.

Matatus are particularly famous for their colourful decorations, great music, and lively conversation..." I met these two amazing ladies at a recent conference in London called "Unite Against Dividers".
