Recorded at the EV3 DePIN Summit in Kenya, Connor spoke with Mohan Ponnada, founder of DeCharge, at a beach resort in Mombasa, Kenya, about transforming the EV charging industry in emerging markets like Kenya and Tanzania. Ponnada discussed DeCharge’s move from India to Kenya to tap into the region’s growing gig economy and EV adoption, stressing the value of local partnerships. He outlined how DeCharge tackles the industry's fragmentation through a decentralized model that lets individuals and small businesses monetize idle charging infrastructure. With a goal of 25,000 stations by March and a seamless, app-free user experience, DeCharge is scaling quickly. The episode wrapped with insights into their upcoming token launch on the Solana blockchain to strengthen their decentralized foundation.
